David was always a kind and sweet person. This is such a loss for our class. When he was in town, he would often attend my church in Carbon, Indiana. It was always nice to to see him and catch up on what was going on in our lives. He will be greatly missed at our class reunion this fall. I know I will see
David again one day!

So saddened to hear that David went to be with the Lord. David and I were the same age and crossed paths at many steps through our lives. From his days at Van Buren to our shared paths at Vincennes University to many many political events through the years. I told my wife when learning of Dave's passing that he was a guy that always showed up! In my book, that is a high complement. He loved America, our state and people in general. I will miss you my friend. Until we meet again, I bid you adieu. 

What I remember most about Dave was his kind and caring heart.  I first met him as a fellow volunteer in a politcal campaign for John Hostetler.  He became friends with me and my family - our daughter called him "Uncle Dave"!  He was one of the reasons we started attending Sherwood Oaks Christian Church and later became members.   Dave was always  willing to go out of his way to help others, and did so many times - not just for me and my family - but for all his friends.  He had a ready smile, and loved to tell jokes.  Dave always expressed care and love for his family, they were very important to him.  I truly regret that I am unable to be present at his memorial service today.  I will never forget Dave Shuee.  He was a true friend.

I met Dave over 25 years ago while working on my first political campaign. He was loyal, committed, ever present and willing to help with anything necessary for the task at hand. 

Dave had a servant’s heart, was very protective and always a stable force in any room he occupied. I was so encouraged that he discovered Jesus during those early experiences. He was both confident and comfortable in his own skin as a believer.  

Dave now walks with the Lord, will clearly be missed and leaves a behind a testimony for those who follow the Savior. 

You’ve done well, my friend. I look forward to meeting again. 

I knew David from Sherwood Oaks Christian Church he was always the most pleasant person to be around. I also attend the Bloomington Chamber business after hours where you could always count on David being there, with that big smile and friendly hello.  Sing with the Angels! You will be missed!

RIP David

Dave was my dear friend.  I remember his smile and his laugh.  He was my security many times when we worked in politics and he was my security in life.  I say that because he was always the same and never changed.  I could count on him.
Now I live 1200 miles away and cannot say goodbye as I would like to say goodbye. However, because of our faith, I will see Dave again in heaven.  God is so good to want us to go home to Him when we pass on.
God bless you, the family.  You raised a wonderful man and a wonderful friend for me and my family.  I am so sorry that Dave is no longer with you. His spirit will remain.

Dave was a great supporter of the Bloomington Business community and a long-time BNI Member.  He will be missed. 

Such a good guy... even when we were in high school... 
Sorry for your loss.

Very sorry to hear of Dave's passing.  Have known Dave for many years.  He was active at the Sherwood Oaks Christian Church.  A good man and never really ever knew him to be negative and seemed to always want to be helpful.  He is in glory land now with no more pain, tears or sorrow.  Thanks Dave for being you.

I enjoyed getting to know Dave and serving with him at Sherwood Oaks Church. He was a dependable and trustworthy volunteer and leader on the Levite team. I always appreciated how flexible and willing he was to do whatever was needed, in his ever so calm and confident way. My sympathies to his family, friends and co-workers as we are all so sad to lose such a great friend. 
Thankfully we have hope and I look forward to seeing you again Dave! 


David was a great classmate.  We had alot of conversations through out the years. Sorry for your loss.

Susan & Duane, 
Thinking of you both and sending prayers for strength.

Love,
Roxann

May the road rise up to meet you.

May the wind be always at your back.

May the sun shine warm upon your face;

the rains fall soft upon your fields and until we meet again,

may God hold you in the palm of His hand.

David and I were "Jeep buddies".  Always friendly, always willing to lend a helping hand.

Love you brother.  Save a seat for me at the Heavenly banquet.

David was the best. He was always so kind and so caring and so giving. He and I like to talk about guns and go to the shooting range. He was always a welcoming soul at church too. My condolences for your great loss. He was a good person and will be greatly missed.

Big Dave. Those were the words my family used when referring to Dave Shuee. A special guy, with a very big heart. Loyal to a fault. And he will be missed by Ann and me very much. I am thankful that he accepted Christ when he did so that one day we can share our faith together once again- only this time as a Brothers in heaven!!

He had the best pandemic beard. I wish I'd had or made a chance to tell him so.

Dave had just gained new momentum to start walking more intentionally. I’d been saving all his mileage and time logs so he could see how far he’d come from last year. He was always thoughtful- bringing Christmas gifts for my kids, sharing fun stories. It’s almost impossible to not like Dave. I’m sad to not have the chance to say goodbye to a man who has dedicated so much of his time to helping and serving others. You will be missed. 

We are so grateful to Dave for his support of the Hannah Center and Hannah House. Dave was a volunteer from the initial days of Hannah House’s restoration. He was a a friend, a kind and compassionate man. He will be missed. 

i worked.with dave for 6 years at advance auto....i have so.many great memories and advice from hlm........i am so sorry to his family  for the loss of a great man and a great friend
