David Wilmont Forry, son of Wilmont "Pete" and Veronica (Tussing) Forry, was born February 15, 1949 in Laurens, Iowa.  He received his education in Mallard, graduating from Mallard High School in 1967.  Following graduation, David continued his education at South Dakota State University, where he received his degree in Pharmacy.

David was employed as a Pharmacist in various cities throughout the state of Iowa.  David was a hard worker, never missing work and always on time.

On December 26, 2008 David was united in marriage to Rebecca "Becky" Goehring in Ottumwa, Iowa.

David loved going fishing in Minnesota and  sharing countless "fish stories".  He had a great sense of humor and was a joy to be around.  He had many fun ties that he wore to work to humor the children he saw.  He had several pets throughout his life, and loved each of his cats and dogs.

David passed away Monday, January 23, 2023 at the Laurens Care Center at the age of 73.  He was preceded in death by his father, Wilmont Forry and his wife, Rebecca "Becky".

He is survived by his step children, Jason (Tracy) Goehring and Angela (Cory) Black; his mother, Veronica Rouse of Emmetsburg, Iowa; his siblings, Barbara (Joe) Pidala of Tampa, Florida, Paul (Lori) Forry of Emmetsburg, Iowa, and Jane (Allen) Marcellus of Algona, Iowa; as well as many other relatives and friends.
