David Meyer, 65, of Tipton, died Wednesday, Nov. 7, 2018, at his home surrounded by family and friends. A gathering of friends and family begins at 11 a.m. Saturday, Nov. 17, at his residence.

David Michael Meyer was born Oct. 1, 1953, in Decorah to Raymond and Josephine (McDonnell) Meyer. He graduated from South Winneshiek High School in 1971, and attended the University of Iowa in Iowa City.

David was QA inspector at Loparex in Iowa City for over 30 years. “Dangerous Dave” was the sound engineer for the Mother Blues Band in his early years. His love of music continued as he attended many music shows and festivals.

David was a volunteer for Project Aware where he spent a week every year cleaning Iowa waterways. His love of water extended to fly-fishing. Every summer David made a trip to his favorite fishing spots in Montana. He also was called ‘Outfitter Dave” for helping many friends learn the joy of canoeing and kayaking.

He was always there when you fell out of your boat to help you upright. He was infamous for his “Last Saturday in September” parties, which always included fireworks, great music and fun.

David is survived by close friend Becky Couch of Iowa City; two brothers, Charles (Kathleen) Meyer of Calmar; and Kevin (Joyce) Meyer of Spillville; sister-in-law, Rosemary Meyer of Cedar Rapids; and many nephews and nieces.

David was preceded in death by his parents, Raymond and Josephine Meyer; brother, Robert Meyer; three nephews: Joel Meyer, Alan Meyer and Terry Meyer.
