DAVID M. HASS

DAVID M. HASS

     Dave M. Hass passed away Dec. 26, 2024. David was born July 6, 1954. He had battled with numerous illnesses, but he kept his wit, humor and sarcasm with him until the end.

     He spent his early years on the family farm and graduated from Lincoln High School as part of the class of 1972. He went to culinary school in Eau Claire and was a chef in Eau Claire’s Whitehouse before moving to California. He worked as a sous chef in California before finding his true career as a government worker. Dave had over 30 years at the postal service and made numerous lifelong friends during his time there. After realizing there is no place like home, he returned from California to Eau Claire WI, where he retired in 2013. Dave loved a good get-together if food, laughs and drinks were involved. He never met a wit he couldn’t match, a joke he couldn’t time well or one-liner that wouldn’t make the whole group nearly wet their pants from laughter. Dave kept it simple by loving family and friends, food and a good drink.

     Dave is preceded in death by his parents, Merton and Doris Hass, and his uncle Dave Dahl.

     He is survived by his family, Aunt Marge Dahl; Uncle Sam (Sharlene) Kurth; siblings Melissa “Mitzi” (Roger) Rich, Rhonda Hass and Douglas Hass; his nieces Amy (Ryan) Bergerson, Kaylan (April) Rich and Kyle Rich; and great-nieces Thea (Brad), Ella (Dylan) and Nora and Iylla; great-nephew Sawyer; and a great-great-nephew (Easton).

     A special thank you to Caring Partners and the wonderful people who provided such great care; he really appreciated all of you!

     No service will be held, just as Dave had requested.
