He was born in Jacksonville, Illinois on October 22, 1967 to Alan Ravn & Penny Beerup Ravn.
He is survived by his father, Alan Ravn of Jacksonville, Illinois; mother, Penny Ravn of Springfield, Illinois; brother, Matthew (wife Liliane) of Round Lake Beach, Illinois and his Nephew, Zachary Ravn.
Dave received his Engineering Degree from the University of Illinois in 1992.
He was employed as a Quality Engineer for the Motorola and Honeywell Corporations prior to beginning a new career in 2010 with Team Cymru in Lake Mary, Florida, where he was employed at the time of his passing. Dave was highly respected for his intelligence and dedicated to the success of Team Cymru.
Dave was an avid motorcyclist and greatly enjoyed exploring the backroads and byways over his many years of riding, often exploring ramshackle little hole in the wall locales found along the way. In recent years, some of our most cherished times and memories came from exploring the scenic drives of the Smokey Mountains during the fall. Dave invariably seemed at peace while riding, often with just the faintest hint of a grin even on the most challenging rides.
Those that were fortunate enough to have known Dave were counted as long standing and close friends.
Dave was forever easygoing and ready with a laugh, and those who spent time with him would have quickly noted his dry sense of humor with a subtle twist of wit. For friends and family in need, he was a compassionate man who genuinely cared for others.
Cremation has been accorded. A private celebration of his life will be held at a later date.
