David Scott Pauler "Dave Wave" unexpectedly passed away March 12th, 2026. David was a free spirit with an artistic niche. He saw the beauty in life when others didn't. David loved to skateboard, but more importantly, he loved his family. He had many adventures in his short 44 years of life, but working on airplanes with his mother was one of his most cherished times. He is reunited in Heaven by his mom, Luann, brother Toby, and grandma Verla. Being a son, brother, the "fun" uncle, and cousin made him who he was. He is survived by his sister Sarah Esther Pauler, Dad Merlin "Joe" Pauler, many nieces, nephews, great nieces and nephews,  cousins, aunts, and uncles. He will be missed every day.

A Memorial Service will be announced at a later date.
