David Seabaugh

David Ray Seabaugh, 69, passed away Saturday, Sept. 12, 2020, at his home in Friedheim from continued complication related to a cystectomy.

He was born April 21, 1951, in Cape Girardeau, son of Guy and Dorothy Seabaugh. He and his high school sweetheart and wife of 48 years, Donna Wibbenmeyer Seabaugh, were united in marriage May 13, 1972, at St. Maurus Catholic Church in Biehle, Missouri.

David was a 1969 graduate of Oak Ridge High School. He joined the Missouri Army National Guard and served six years with the 1140th Engineer Battalion out of Jackson.

He was a member of St. Maurus Catholic Church. He served as a Eucharistic minister, and spent many hours alongside his wife, Donna, preparing for and working at church breakfasts. He was also a third-degree Knight, serving as financial secretary with St. Michael's Knights of Columbus Council 12934.

David worked many years as a truck driver, but his real passion was farming and raising cattle, to which he dedicated much time and care throughout his entire life. David was quiet in nature, but enjoyed visiting with friends and always brought humor to a conversation.
