Dave was born on January 3, 1961 in Bertha to Theodore “Ted” and Mary (Simkins) Pohl.  He attended Central Lakes Community College – Staples for machinist training and furthered his education at Pine Tech where he obtained his licensure in Taxidermy.  Dave married Anna Comeau on February 29, 1980; the couple later divorced.  He met and married his life companion, Jill Isvik, on March 22, 1992 in Minneapolis.  Dave started his machining career in Minneapolis and most recently worked for Lares Corporation in Cambridge for 20 years.  He was a collector of many things; antique cars, motorcycles, guns, and animals.  In his retirement years Dave had a goal of learning how to play the guitar and keyboard, so he could jam to his classic rock songs.  Dave enjoyed the great outdoors; hunting, fishing, and trapping in his younger years.  He was determined and an avid sportsman; above all else he loved his family beyond words.  Dave will be dearly missed by all who knew him.

Dave is survived by his wife, Jill of Mora; daughters, Melissa (Keith) Sire of Moorhead, Jamie Pohl of Detroit Lakes, Angela (Justin) Cowden of Milaca; grandchildren, Keith Sire, Mackenzie Hilden, Timothy Sire, Isaiah Ponl, Aiden Pohl, Autumn Hilden; siblings, Leland “Butch” Webster, Karen (Garry) Carpenter, Rebecca (Joe) Kestner, Cynthia “Penny” (Merl) Engleking, Daniel “Bonze” Pohl; and many nieces and nephews.  He was preceded in death by his parents, Theodore “Ted” and Mary Pohl.
