David was a die-hard Hurricanes and Dolphins fan. He followed both teams closely - regardless of their success that year. David was extremely proud of his service in the U. S. Army, from 1984 to 1987 in the 1st infantry division out of Ft. Riley, Kansas. He served as a medic and did two tours.
David moved to Montgomery in 1987 and became a licensed paramedic in 1988. He was a paramedic for over 30 years, training and mentoring dozens of young medics. David has been employee of the month and was even awarded the Protect and Serve Award by WAKA in 2001.
David met his wife Liz at Care Ambulance in 1997 and they were married in 1998. He became step-father to Liz’s 15 year old daughter, Teresa. They had two children together, David, Jr. in 2000 and Dawson in 2006.
David loved taking trips with the family, both big and small. He loved fishing, cooking out, company softball meets and coached little league baseball for both of his boys. David loved animals of all kinds, but especially took pride in his fish tanks filled with beautiful and colorful fish, and his dogs.
David was preceded in death by his mother Marilyn and his father Donald. He is survived by his immediate family of his wife Elizabeth Mimm, his sons David Jr. (Shakira) and Dawson, and his step-daughter Teresa Anzulovic (Daniel). He is also survived by his siblings Cheryl Rieser (Michael), Donald Mimm (Dana), Paula Roberts (Nathan), Lisa Petric (Mark), his nieces and nephews John-Mark Rieser, Lillian Pottmeyer (Joshua), Esther Diastello (Anthony), Jaclyn Blain (Doug), Aaron Mimm, Dana Pryce (Devon), Emannuel Class (Clare), Emilia Class, Daniel Mimm (Christina), Miguel Class (Kim), Danielle Roberts, Nicole Roberts, Clayton Roberts, and several great nieces and nephews.
David was loved and respected by all who knew him and his family will never forget the way he touched their lives. He will live on forever in our hearts.
