David F. Steiskal, age 74 of Brooklyn Park, passed away on 11/1. Preceded in death by his parents George and Ruby; his brother Darryl; and his second love, his dogs, Mikie, Vermont and Montana. Survived by his wife Marlys Carls-Steiskal, 3 younger brothers, Don (Deb), Doug (Sandy), and Dan; sister-in law, Joann; special brother, Don Hudson and many nieces and nephews.

David worked as a draftsman. His career included Catinia Builders, Harmon Contract, Copper Sales and Cabinets Unlimited in Rockford MN. He loved working with wood and excelled at building furniture, cabinets, tables and most anything someone needed built. In his younger days he worked on ice racing cars and delivered canoes in northern Wisconsin. David treasured the time he spent on the Hudson Ranch in Montana where he hunted whitetail. Fishing in Canada was a real joy for him and Marlys. Traveling in the RV was also a joy. Whenever there was a lineup of cars behind him, he would pull over and let them go by.
