David Porter Littell

He was born December 14, 1951 in Richwood Ohio, the son of Lester Howard Littell and Martha L. Littell(Temple). David graduated from North Union High School class of 1970 and briefly attended his beloved Ohio State University (GO BUCKS!).

He found his love of computer sciences while working on summer break, never returned to school, instead became a trailblazer in the programming industry. His parents and both brothers Larry and Lanny Littell predeceased David. He is survived by his loving wife Michele L. Littell his daughters, Crystal D. Littell,Misty A. Ziegler (Littell), and Brittany S. Yaw (Littell), and son in law Cody J. Yaw as well as his five grandchildren James C. Martin, Alyssa M. Ziegler, Celeste T. Littell-Yaw and Samantha A. Starks.

David loved fantastical stories including science fiction and comics so much that he was never seen outside of his home without a good book to read “In case he had a few minutes”. He was himself a storyteller, but only wrote for his family, whom he loved to the moon and back. David enjoyed traveling for both work and family trips. He couldn’t deliver a joke well, but his laugh would make you smile and chuckle with the delight he took in life.

He took joy in the simple things in life, a thunderstorm, trivia with family and friends, coffee for hours just talking, but most especially on the open road on his GoldWing. When the weather started to get nice you would see him riding his bike everywhere, just give him an excuse to run to the store and he wouldn’t be back for at least an hour.

David’s battle was a long one but the years it gave his loved ones will be cherished forever. We will be gathering on Saturday, April 1, 2023 from 3 to 6 pm. to say goodbye to an amazing and loyal man at Koops Funeral Home at 935 4th Ave, Lake Odessa MI 48849.
