David Warren Eastlund, 56

David Warren Eastlund, 56, died Tuesday, Oct. 26, 2010, as a result of a tragic accident in North Dakota. He was born on Aug. 10, 1954, in Kalispell, the son of Hollister "Holly" and Joyce (Heggen) Eastlund. He grew up in Kalispell and graduated from Flathead High School in 1972, and attended the University of Montana. In 1977, Dave married Sheela Pasche, and they had two children, Sam and Sarah. They later divorced. Dave was an insurance agent in Kalispell and Plentywood, and then went into the furniture store business in Shelby, Palm Springs and Boise, Idaho. For the past two years, he was driving tanker trucks in the oil fields near Watford City and Williston, N.D., where he worked hard, gaining the respect of his employers and fellow drivers. Dave loved music, especially the country outlaws and the blues masters. You could call Dave with a trivia question on any subject and he'd know the answer. His sense of humor was immense and his jokes were many and memorable. Dave made so many friends every place he went and remained in touch with many of them to his last day. His knowledge of sports was unlimited and his memory sharp as a tack. Dave is survived by his children, Sam Eastlund of Boise, Idaho, and Sarah Eastlund of Missoula; his parents, Holly and Joyce Eastlund, of Kalispell; his brother, Gary Eastlund, and wife, Ginger, of McMinnville, Ore.; and numerous aunts, uncles, cousins and many, many friends. Memorial services for Dave will be held at 2 p.m. Saturday, Nov. 6, at The First Church of The Nazarene in Kalispell, at 1295 Whitefish Stage Road. Johnson-Gloschat Funeral Home and Crematory is caring for Dave's family. You are invited to go to www.jgfuneralhome.com to view Dave's guest book, offer condolences and share memories.
