| Published in Mohave Daily News Online from Feb. 26 to Feb. 27, 2021 - Bullhead City, Arizona - David Stewart Greenman, age 77, passed away on Saturday, February 6, 2021. He was born on February 22, 1943. David (Dave) Stewart Greenman was the only child of Edward and Courtney Greenman. Dave grew up in Alliance, Ohio. He was a happy, active child that loved the outdoors. He graduated from Alliance High School in 1961 and soon after enlisted in the United States Air Force. There, he served for over 20 years. Like many young soldiers of his time, he was sent to Vietnam and stationed in Pattaya, Thailand. He worked as a crew member aboard the B52 Stratofortress. During his stay, Dave was awarded the Bronze Star, and in 1981, he proudly retired as Master Sergeant of the USAF. Early in his life, Dave fell in love and married Laurena Anderson in Colorado Springs, Colorado. The two soon became a family, having their daughter, Tracey and son Chris. Being in the Air Force meant a lot of travel for the family, but much of their time was spent in Southern California, near March Air Force base. It was there that Laurena became tragically ill and passed away in 1999. Later, Dave started looking for someone to share his retirement and love for the outdoors. He eventually found a new partner in Rachel Renfrow. They became close sharing time out on his boat in Dana Point, California and going to concerts and romantic dinners. They eventually married on November 24, 2002. Eventually they settled in Fort Mohave, Arizona where they continued together until Dave's passing on February 6, 2021. Dave was preceded in death by his parents; and first wife, Laurena. Dave is survived by his children, Tracey and Chris with his wife Kristen; and all his grandchildren - Daniel, Haley, Tristan, Annabel (Anna) and Nicholas (Nick); he is also survived by his wife, Rachel and her children Laurie and David with his wife, Lynn. Dave will always be remembered as a good and kind man. His joy was putting a smile on other people's faces. He will sorely be missed. A Memorial Service will be held at 2:30pm on Tuesday, March 2, 2021 at Desert Lawn Funeral Chapel. To honor his life, his family requests donations made to the American Heart Association or Vietnam Veterans Memorial Fund in Dave's name. |
