David Lynn Pease, 63, passed away suddenly on May 25, 2024. He was deeply loved by his wife, children, grandchildren, brothers, and their families.
Dave was born on January 4, 1961 in Rockford, IL. He spent his childhood living in Mt. Morris, IL before moving to Geneva, IL. He attended Geneva High School where he excelled in basketball and football and met his high school sweetheart and love of his life, Kelly.
After raising their families, Dave and Kelly reconnected at their 25th high school reunion. They went on to spend 20 beautiful years together and united in marriage on August 29, 2022. They were best friends with a beautiful love story. Dave will be eternally missed and forever loved by Kelly.
Dave will be remembered for being the most caring, loving, kind and big hearted person he was. Dave was a Chicago sports fan who loved watching the Cubs and Bears. He filled his life and the spaces around him with beautiful art and music. He was an amazing artist and painter. He loved gardening and creating beautiful landscapes with Kelly at their home. Through all of his passions and hobbies, however, Dave loved spending time with his family and friends most of all. And can’t forget, he loved a good Bloody Mary.
Survived by his wife, Kelly, daughter, Autumn Pease, sons, Shane Pease and Dallas Pease (Jas), step children, Jessica Christopher (Matt), Lindsay Hajek, Travis Hajek, grandchildren, Soren Pease, Liam McBain, Neveah Sandry, Ayden Hajek, Carson Christopher, Elliott Christopher, Brothers, Randy (Sally), Steve (Julie), and Tim (Jennifer).
Preceded in death by his parents Thomas and Marlene Pease.

"Oh Kelly.. words cannot convey my sadness upon hearing of Dave’s passing. I have so many memories of you both , together and separately. I will never forget the night we came to your house after Chris’ wake. The comfort and support ,of life long friends in that time of sadness, for me was beyond wonderful. Dave with his wonderful memories of our youth and that always winning smile,even in the most difficult of times. I will always cherish the memories,love and laughs that he brought to our lives. What a wonderful friend he was to so many,especially Chris. Dave and Chris reunited again, drinking some (lots) of beer, laughing like they did ,whenever they saw each other and cheering for their favorite Chicago sports teams. Many many hugs to you, all the kids and the entire Pease family. He was one in a million Kelly and I couldn’t think of a better last 20+ years for him than spending it with the love of his life. Hold onto those wonderful memories that you two shared together. All my love to you !!"

"Sweet Kelly, I'm so so sorry to hear of Dave's sudden passing. The last time I saw you both was at your beautiful home after Chris Moore's memorial. You included Carla, Kelli, and I along with all of Dave's and Chris's friends. Over the years I have thought of you often, and was so happy that you both found a way back to each other and could see the love you both had for each other. Sending love, hugs, sympathies, condolences, and prayers to you and all of yours and Daves beautiful blended family members. Dave was always so sweet and nice to me and I will always remember his sweet smile and personality. I will think of him and Chris up there together watching their Bears and watching over both of their families. Angela Katsuleas Lasky"
