David Michael Ott was born on November 12, 1953 in Davenport, a son of Robert G. and Mary C. (Hood) Ott. He was a 1972 graduate of Davenport Central High School.  Dave was united in marriage to Kim Horton, from that union they had two daughters.

Dave worked for Oscar Mayer and retired as a route salesman for Mid-Continent Bottlers Inc.  Following surgery to remove brain tumors, Dave became part of the Handicapped Development Center family where he did rehabilitation and worked in various positions.

Dave was a member of Holy Family Catholic Church and the Dittmer’s Social Club where he enjoyed the conversation and friendships as well as his Diet Dr. Pepper and Squirt.  He was an avid fan of the Chicago Cubs and was thrilled to witness their 2016 World Series Championship during his lifetime.  Dave was extremely proud of his children and grandchildren’s many wonderful accomplishments.

Dave is survived by his daughters and sons-in-law: Carrie (Jerry) DeVine and Buffy (Tim) O’Neill, all of Davenport; grandchildren: Payton, Ella, Keaton, and Avery; siblings: Tom (Jill) Ott, Nokomis, Florida, Steve (Laurie Denison) Ott, Bettendorf, nephew and nieces: Ryan (Megan) Ott, Jami Ott Sergeant, Jodi (Mike) Arp, and Kara Ott, his large extended family that comprised Cel’s Gang, and a dear lifelong friend, Marietta Smeaton.

He was preceded in death by his parents and his sister, Jane Ott.  May they rest in peace.

The Ott family would like to thank the nurses and staff at West Wing for all of the compassionate and loving care they shared with David.
