David Donald Manke

Dave was a very special friend. I knew him as a coach, a golfer, an around athlete, a person who enjoyed everyone and everything to the , but most importantly as a person who lived life to the fullest. He was always positive and I mean always!! His wit and humor were unbelievable.

Dave stole my name by 364 days as my Dad wanted to name me David. Rest in peace cousin.

Davis!! Man you made me laugh! So caring and generous! Loved playing hoops for you and the relationships and connections we made those 4yrs. Thanks for giving back. So many people were affected by you!! Be proud…you have an amazing family and lived a full life!! Thank you for everything!

To Sandi and family, Blessings of comfort to the family. I got to know Dave when he came in the Fall 1965 Milton football game to play quarterback when Richard Hansen was injured. At LaCrosse we crossed paths again. Dave was always happy and positive and I know a role model for his family and friends. He will be missed. Warmest Regards, Gary Reinke

So sorry to hear this news. I remember the A & W, the baseball games and his music. Many great memories with Dave and Jason. Jason Humboldt.
