David J. Boska was born on January 10, 1943 to Joseph and Anna (Bystricky) Boska. He was united in marriage to Ruth Ann Stoebner on April 25, 1964 in Tyndall, SD. David and Ruth Ann farmed east of Tyndall for 51 years.
David farmed, custom combined, managed M & J service station, and worked at Lesterville Feed & Grain as a trucker for the past several years. David was very handy and could fix about anything. He had an infectious laugh and great sense of humor, which made him a favorite among anyone who met him. David enjoyed fishing, camping, gardening, and attending his grandchildren’s activities. His favorite vehicles were his red pickup and of course his golf cart, as he and Chester couldn’t do any task without it! David was a member of the Knights of Columbus and supported 4-H for many years.
David passed away on Thursday, July 23, 2015 at Pickstown, SD having attained the age of 72 years, 6 months and 13 days. Greatly shared his life with Ruth Ann of Tyndall; daughter Gloriann (Tim) Hovorka of Tyndall; daughter Linda (Steve) Keszler of Sturgis; son Scott Boska of Tyndall; daughter Amanda (Clint) Willuweit of Gregory; 14 grandchildren, Kyndra, Chantelle and Travis Hovorka; Josh, Jocelyn and Jamison Keszler; Slaton, Ty, Paxton and Braven Boska; Atlas, Achilles, Athena and Apollo Willuweit; 2 great grandchildren Taylee Ruth and Ryken Richard; sister Evelyn Kniffen of Oklahoma; and brother Joseph R. (Patty) Boska of Florida.
David was preceded in death by his parents, Joseph J. and Anna, and brother-in-law, Louis Kniffen.
