Sturtevant – David Michael Grasso, 54, affectionately known to all as “Chooch”, received the promise of eternal life on Saturday, August 6, 2016, surrounded by the love of his family. He was born in Ironwood MI, on February 1, 1962, son of the late Joseph and Rita (nee: Cvengros) Grasso.
Dave was united in marriage to the love of his life, the former Lynn Ann Clausen, on April 8, 1989, at St. Sebastian Catholic Church.
Dave graduated from Case High School in 1980. He worked in construction for Perma-Structo in Sturtevant. Dave enjoyed every moment he could spend on his boat and loved fishing. It didn't matter if it was fishing for coho on Lake Michigan, trout on Weber lake, or walleye in Canada. Dave also had a passion for hunting deer, ducks, and geese. He could build or fix anything, always had a project going or was helping someone else with their project. Above all he loved spending time with his family and friends. Dave had a personality that could instantly light up a room. He will be dearly missed by all who knew and loved him.
Dave leaves to cherish his memory, his wife, Lynn Grasso; daughters, Kayla Grasso, Samantha Grasso; sister, Cathie (Warren) Geyer; uncles, Dick (Barbara) Grasso, Mike (Joanne) Grasso; aunts, Mary Strelcheck, Lucille Dovichi, Tommy (Jayne) Grasso; nieces and nephews, Corey Grasso, Jake Krogh, Alex Krogh, Leah Clausen, Alex Lemmons; sisters-in-law, Becky Grasso, Sally (Vicky) Clausen, Ann Clausen; and brothers-in-law, Sam (Marnie) Clausen and Steve Clausen.
In addition to his parents, Dave is preceded in death by his daughter, Megan Rose Grasso and brother, Glenn Grasso.
A memorial celebration of Dave’s life will be held on Thursday, August 11, 2016, 7:00pm, at Draeger-Langendorf Funeral Home and Crematory, 4600 County Line Road. Visitation will be from 4:00pm until the time of the service. Private interment will take place at West Lawn Memorial Park on Friday. In lieu of flowers, the family has suggested memorials to Sarcoma Foundation of America.
