David Bloomquist

David Lawrence Bloomquist was born on June 15, 1978 the first born son of Ronald and Barbara Bloomquist. His ride came to an end on August 30, 2014.

David loved his family and friends and especially his nieces: goddaughter Makinley Jay or “Tink” (David’s name for her) and Haizley Mae. David’s friendships knew no boundaries.

David loved football, college and professional, the Iowa Hawkeyes and the Pittsburgh Steeler’s were his favorite teams. He loved nearly all manner of every other sport: soccer, golf, and NASCAR.

Some of David’s favorites: his brother Brian’s smoked brisket, his mom Barb’s cherry cheesecake and his stepdad Tony’s holiday prime rib.

David was smart and funny, serious and silly. He loved music, movies, and reading. Time at “the land” (Uncle Lonnie’s) was most enjoyable for David, mowing the wetlands, riding the 4-wheeler, and being outdoors.

In the 10 years that David worked at Dooley’s Deli, he not only served many customers, he made many friends. David impacted many people with his sense of humor and friendliness but not as much as his smile.

David is survived by his broken hearted family: his mom, Barb (Bloomquist) Addy: his second dad, Tony Addy; his “bro”/best friend, Joe Webster; his brother Daniel Bloomquist; his brother and sister-in-law Brian and Megan Bloomquist; his niece and Goddaugher Makinley, and niece, Haizley; his “brother from another mother”, Eric and Ashley Addy.

David is preceded in death by his father, Ronald Bloomquist, grandparents, Max and Vivian Bloomquist, Oscar and Margareta Landuyt, and grandmother, Mary Jane Davidson.

Memorial contributions may be given to the family for benefit of David’s nieces.

Memorial services will be held at 10:00 a.m. on Saturday, September 6, 2014, at Hamilton’s near Highland Memory Gardens, 121 NW 60th Avenue in Des Moines. Visitation will be held at the funeral home Friday evening from 5:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m. Casual attire (jeans) is welcomed.
