It is with deep sorrow that we announce the sudden passing of David Libby. David was born in April 1959 and transitioned out of this life on June 22, 2026.  Through his journey of 67 years, he touched many lives with his wisdom, charisma, and humor.

A devoted husband, a proud father, and beloved grandfather. David found his greatest Joy in the time he spent with those he loved. He was an avid outdoorsman and shared that passion with many. His grandchildren loved fishing with Grandpa and many of the best family memories were created outdoors and near the water or on a trail.

David was a friend to many.

David earned his Bachelor of Communications from Southeast Missouri State University and greatly contributed to the campus radio station KRCU. Dave was a true entrepreneur. He met his wife Sue in his first month of college, married in the second year of college; and, upon graduation, they started together an Audio-Visual company. He produced Jingles, commercials and international training videos; and won international exhibit trade show awards.

What truly set Dave apart in his career was his connection with others. His commitment to relationships extended beyond his profession. As a Master Mason, he embraced the values of brotherhood, charity, and personal integrity. His faith and compassion led him on a mission trip to Jamaica where he helped build a church. In his later years he enjoyed judging barbecue competitions and watching his grandkids' sports. David found peace outdoors. He truly appreciated God's creations. David was happiest when surrounded by family and good food. His presence, practical wisdom, and charm will be deeply missed by all who knew him.
