David John Degnan was born March 1, 1976, in Friendship, WI.
He was raised by his mother, Cindy Lou May, and his father, Bruce Charles Degnan Sr. He lived the majority of his life in the small town of Palmyra. David was moving to Necedah to begin a new chapter in life when he unexpectedly passed in a car accident.
Dave’s children were his life. He was a very passionate drummer. He loved music and the great outdoors. He loved seasonal morel and asparagus hunting. He specialized in dry walling and was a handyman of all trades. Dave also was known as a pyro — you could always find him building bonfires and cooking great food on the grill. He also enjoyed rooting on the Green Bay Packers and year-round fishing. He always cherished spending time with family and friends.
David is survived by his daughter, Kelsey Elizabeth Degnan; his daughter, Amaya Ashton Degnan; his son, Ethan Joseph Degnan; his mother, Cindy May; his brother, Bruce Degnan Jr.; his sister, Michelle Degnan-Lloyd; and many other friends and family. He is preceded in death by his grandfather, Frank Degnan; father, Bruce Degnan Sr.; and his brother, Steven Degnan.
A celebration of life will be Saturday from 1 to 4 p.m. at the Gibson Funeral Home, 320 W. Main St., Palmyra, WI 53156.
