David R. Andreason November 26, 1944 - January 19, 2024

David Randall Andreason, age 79, passed away in Springville, Utah, January 19, 2024.  He was born November 26, 1944, to Jack Morris Andreason and Reva Cleone Tyrrell Andreason. He grew up in Springville, Utah, with his brother, Jackie, and his sister, Maurine. He graduated from Springville High School, and attended Snow College in Ephraim, Utah, where he studied forestry and drafting.

He married Katherine Jane Nielson; later divorced.  He then married Connie Cooksey.  His children are Julie, Randy, Eric, Alisha, Tianna, John, and Chris.

As a young man, David spent his working years in construction, including fencing and excavation.  In later years, he worked for Springville City as a public works inspector.  His greatest claim to fame was that he was a lifetime, professional coffee drinker, as attested to by his coffee-co-drinking friends.

David enjoyed riding in his side-by-side in the outdoors, anywhere; as well as hunting, camping, riding horses.  He also liked riding his Harley Davidson, guns, working, and sawmill woodworking, as well as the aforementioned coffee drinking and just hanging out with friends. David would help anyone in need. He was always willing to lend a hand.

David is survived by his partner, Connie; his children: Julie (David) Stewart, Randy Andreason, Eric (Annie) Andreason; and step-children: Alisha (Paul) Casey, Tianna Duarte, John Paxton, and Chris Paxton; his sister, Maurine Clark; as well as his dog-fur-child, Daisy.  He is preceded in death by his parents; his brother, Jackie; his grandparents; his granddaughter, Addison Andreason; along with many memory-making dogs.

A visitation will be held Tuesday evening, January 23, 2024, from 6:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m. at Walker Funeral Home, 187 South Main Street, Spanish Fork, Utah.  Another visitation will be Wednesday morning at the funeral home, January 24, 2024, from 9:30 a.m. to 10:30 a.m. Funeral service will then be held at 11:00 a.m. in the High Chaparral building at the Spanish Fork Rodeo/Fairgrounds, 475 South Main Street, Spanish Fork, Utah.  Interment will be at Spanish Fork City Cemetery, 420 South 400 East, Spanish Fork, Utah.
