David Voss
February 23, 1944 ~ October 8, 2021
On Friday, October 8, 2021, David Edwin Voss, loving father of 3 children, passed away peacefully at the age of 77 at Baptist Health in Lexington, KY.
David was born on February 23, 1944, in St. Paul, MN to Edwin and Marcella Voss and lived in Danville, KY for the last 36 years. After graduating from Alexander Ramsey High School in Roseville, MN in 1962, he pursued a degree in education from St. Cloud State University in Minnesota.
David worked much of his adult life at Whirlpool Corporation/Panasonic Home Appliance Company - first in St. Paul, MN and then in Danville, KY, - where he eventually retired.
He was a long-time member of Our Savior Lutheran Church in Danville and was a kind, loving person who spent much of his time volunteering and giving back to his community, church, and others.
David was very physically active and an avid athlete most of his life. He loved playing various sports including racquetball, tennis, and golf, and enjoyed fishing. One of his favorite hobbies was washing his cars, which he did several times per week.
David was preceded in death by his father, Edwin and his mother Marcella as well as his brother James. He is survived by his three children, Michael Voss (Brandi) of Nicholasville, KY, Kathryn Voss of Louisville, KY and Paul Voss (Robin) of Danville, KY, as well as three grandchildren, Maizie, Caydon and Jona, a brother, Steve Voss of St. Paul, MN and a sister, Sue Schafhauser of Woodbury, MN, several nieces and nephews and his special friend Donna Elam of Danville, KY.

My sincerest condolences. David was a caring, generous man. I considered him a friend and a brother in Christ. We both support some of the same local causes. He will be missed, but his influence will continue here.
Dave will always be SPECIAL to
You helped so many! prayers.
David was my big brother hero. He was always kind with never a harsh word between us. He and I kept in touch through phone calls all of these years. The highlight of our summer was his and Donna\’s visit to Minnesota this year. He got to see everyone that he wanted to and we had a fun week together. The last thing he said to me as he and Donna were leaving was, \”I\’ll be back\”. If only. . . . . Thank you for bringing your wonderful lady Donna into our lives. I love you big brother.
Very special person .
Wow. God bless the family.
Sorry for loss of a kind man

Uncle Dave was a fantastic guy to have as a Godfather. While we didn\’t get to see eachother regularly, I sure treasured my time spent visiting on his trips to Minnesota. I will miss him deeply.
You will be missed by many!
May God be with your family
Donna, I am sooo sorry to hear of the loss of your very good friend. Hugs. Lin
My condolences and prayers for his family and Donna. I will miss him. We worked together at Sunrise Children’s services, later would see each other at gym. He was a great man! Great advice, wit, humor and Christian. When I go to gym it seems empty. He will now live in my heart forever. God Bless.
Dear Donna, I am so sorry for your loss. Dave’s humor, wisdom (and sweet tooth ) will forever remain a bright light in my garden of friendship memories. Soft hugs, Laurel
