Sturtevant – David Andrew Gergen, age 37, passed away unexpectedly, yet peacefully, on Tuesday, May 25, 2021.

David was born in Racine on May 1, 1984 to Charles and Janet (nee: Peterson) Gergen. He lived most of his life in Sturtevant. Following high school, David worked in a variety of ways, but for over the past 10 years, David was employed with Campbell's Foods.

There was only one David…free-spirited with an entire spectrum of friends. He knew no strangers. David was a Green Bay Packers fanatic; enjoyed being on vacation with his family; fast cars; shoes (Air Jordan's with absolutely no dirt, scuffs or creases….ever); all types of animals – especially his canine companions; Tattoos; Dave Chappelle follower; clothing – everything had to be ironed & crisp; was quite the food critic & connoisseur; and was relatively lucky at video poker. Above all, David was rarely found by himself…he was always with his peeps. He loved being at home with his family and socializing with an extensive circle of loyal friends.

Surviving are his other half, Ashley Gustin; their children, Gage, Dane & Vada; mom, Janet Gergen; brother, Joseph (Brenda) Thoennes; sisters, Kris (Eric Babilon) Hach and Carolyn Hansen; father-in-law & mother-in-law, Steven & Karyn Gustin; Ashley's grandmothers, Mary Lou Sporer & Barbara Gustin; sister-in-law, Adrienne (Tony) Johansen; former brother-in-law, Curt Hach; nieces, Jenna Thoennes, Lindsey Thoennes, RyLee Hach, Lauren Hansen, Brooke Hansen, and Raquel Hansen; nephews, Jimmy Hach and Jameson Johansen; other relatives, special neighbors, co-workers & friends – way too numerous to mention all by name.

David was preceded in death by his father, Charles Gergen, who died when David was just a child; brother, Marshall Gergen; and brother-in-law, Daniel Hansen.

Services celebrating David's life will be held in Draeger-Langendorf Funeral Home on Tuesday, June 1, 2021 at 6:00 pm. A reception will follow at the Hiawatha. Visitation will be in the funeral home on Tuesday from 3:00 – 6:00 pm. In memory of David, offer a kind deed to someone in need.
