DAVE JOEL SERVIS of Bloomington, MN, died on April 4, 2025, at the age of 87 years. Dave was born Oct. 14, 1937 in International Falls, MN.   Dave served in the U.S. Navy.   When he retired from the Gillette Company in St. Paul, Dave and Mary built their dream home on Roosevelt Lake in Outing and lived there for 27 wonderful years.  Dave enjoyed working on stained glass, woodworking, silversmithing, fishing and traveling.   Dave is one of the original “save it, I might need it” people. He always had a quick comeback remark and a sweet grin.  He loved his family and was kind to everyone.  He felt blessed to spend winter in Arizona with his dear friends.   Dave was preceded in death by his daughter, Penny; step-son, Mark Douglass; parents David Hans and Alice Servis; sisters Mary Ann and Ellen. Dave is survived by his wife, Mary (Douglass) Bloomington; daughter Athena, Clover, SC; brother, Delane (Linda), International Falls; step-daughter, Lisa (Tim) Kledhans, Lakeville.
