He was born on December 16, 1956, in Saskatchewan, Canada, the son of Charles and Margaret Ruth (Smith) Little. David was a graduate of Mount Carmel High School. He went on to attend seminary at Kentucky Mountain Bible College.
On September 16, 1979, he married Connie Holt, and together they were blessed with two daughters, Bethany and Kristy. Dave faithfully served as a pastor with the Free Methodist Church and the Wesleyan Church for 45 years. In recent years, he pastored at Wesley Chapel Wesleyan Church in St. Paul and most recently served as Care Pastor at Life Line Wesleyan Church in Greensburg.
Dave loved serving God and helping others however he could. He had a servant’s heart and a deep compassion for people. He enjoyed hunting, taking his grandchildren fishing and bowling, and spending time outdoors mowing grass or working in his garden. He was an avid reader, especially enjoying novels by Louis L'Amour and Tom Clancy. Above all, he cherished his family. He was deeply loved and will be greatly missed.
Survivors include his wife of 46 years, Connie Little; daughters, Bethany (Scott) Robards and Kristy Banaszynski; grandchildren, Jacob Robards and Ellie Banaszynski; sisters, Becky (Karl) Luman, Nancy Ferro, and Debbie (Mark) Self; and several aunts, uncles, cousins, nieces, and nephews.
