David Roland Schwengel

Aug. 12, 1954 - March 28, 2024

David Roland Schwengel, aged 69, of Saukville succumbed to his battle with cancer and peacefully passed away at his home on March 28, 2024.

Born and raised in Grafton, Wis., Dave grew up helping his parents Lorraine (nee Hannemann) and Harvey Schwengel on the family farm. He was the youngest of the family, having two older sisters, Beverly and LaVerne.

During his time at Grafton High School, Dave enjoyed music, playing in both the high school band and the guitar in the jazz band.

He was a car enthusiast and passed on that interest to his son Steven. He had a few favorite vehicles during his high school years, including a Mustang, a Chevelle, Camaros and a 1958 Yeoman. He would join friends on Friday or Saturday nights cruising “The Ave.” in downtown Milwaukee and made the occasional trip to the Great Lakes Dragaway in Union Grove, Wis.

He was also an avid woodworker, having done some remodeling on his first home, teaching his daughter Jacquelyne many of the skills she continues to use to this day.

David was preceded in death by his parents Lorraine and Harvey Schwengel.

He is survived by his two children, Steve (Debra) Schwengel and Jacquelyne (Corey) Helgeson, along with seven grandchildren, Haylee, Skyler, Caleb, Mara (Sean) Duening, Jonah, Ava and Asher, two sisters, Beverly (Dean) Tesker and LaVerne Schwengel, niece Melissa (Russell) Meier and nephew Kevin Tesker. He is also survived by his partner and wife Kathi.
