David J. Wilmes, 44, of Saint Meinrad, passed away on Tuesday, February 13, 2024.

David was born November 18, 1979, in Huntingburg to Norman and Mary (Gogel) Wilmes.

David attended St. Meinrad grade school and graduated from Heritage Hills High School in May 1998. He also attended ITT Technical Institute.

He is survived by his father, Norman Wilmes; his brothers, Anthony and Jody Wilmes; sister, Sarah Osborne.

He was preceded in death by his mother, Mary Wilmes.

David had many interests throughout life, including Boy Scouts, racing BMX bikes, and taking karate lessons as a kid. He also enjoyed fishing, camping, woodburning and woodworking, playing his many types of guitars, or simply driving around sight-seeing and visiting family.

If you were lucky enough to receive his random, out-of-the-blue phone calls, then you knew just how bad his made-up jokes were.
