David Scheurer passed away peacefully in his home on December 16, 2022 after fighting an unexplained illness for over a month.

David was born February 22, 1957 in Flint, Michigan, the first son of Dr. Donald Scheurer and Judith (Smith) Scheurer. He grew up in Pompano Beach, Florida, where he graduated from high school.  He then graduated from Northeast Missouri State University in 1982 with a degree in psychology.  David met Terri (Ransford) Monroe during college, and they were married in 1984 after moving to southeast Florida.  Into this union, two sons were born: Jared Allan Scheurer in 1987 and Brian Scott Scheurer in 1989.  In 2008, David and son Brian moved to Kirksville, Missouri to the Smith-Scheurer family farm.  He quickly made Kirksville his home and enjoyed the small-town atmosphere.  David was well known and beloved in town, often cruising around with the top down in his 1962 Chevrolet Impala convertible.

David enjoyed riding his BMX bike and skateboard at the skatepark.  He also loved spending summer days at the Aquatic Center, both of which were substitutes for his love of surfing and spending time at the beach in Florida.  But David's true passion was music.  He played the piano from the age of 5 and made a career as an entertainer, playing at a variety of establishments including nursing homes and piano bars.  He never passed a piano without stopping and singing a tune and was often the life of parties with the thousands of songs in his repertoire.  David spent many hours helping his mother and doing chores on the family farm.  He was a free and generous spirit who always had a smile for everyone.

David is survived by his sons Jared of St. Louis, Missouri and Brian of Novinger, Missouri.  He is also survived by his mother Judy of Kirksville, ex-wife Terri Monroe (Mark) of Memphis, Missouri, three brothers Steve Scheurer (Becky) of Deland, Florida, Scott Scheurer of Sebastian, Florida, and Robert Scheurer (Susan) of Kirksville, stepmother Nancy Scheurer of Somers Point, New Jersey, and numerous nieces, nephews, cousins, and extended family and friends.  David was preceded in death by his father Dr. Don of Port St. Lucie, Florida and grandparents Mike and Billie Smith of Kirksville.

A celebration of life will take place Sunday, February 26th at Leisure World Lanes in Kirksville, MO from 2 p.m. to 4 p.m.   We will meet on the skating side and will be a pot luck so bring a side if you can, thanks.
