David Walton Shurte
December 31, 1937 — September 3, 2021
David Walton Shurte, age 83, of Beavercreek, OH passed away peacefully on September 3, 2021 at home surrounded by family. He is preceded in death by his grandparents, Esta and Cora (Brown) Shurte, Gladys (Kelly) Vansickle, his parents, Denzile Earl Shurte and Marjorie Louise (Vansickle) Hunter. He is survived by his wife of almost 60 years, Alexis (Cooper) Shurte, daughter Lori (Penny) Shurte, son Matt (Jenny) Shurte, grandchildren, Rachael, Max and Parker Shurte, and other family members.
David graduated from Wilbur Wright High School and attended the Dayton Art Institute. He began his career with Yeck & Yeck Advertising and was the Art Director at David K. Burnap Advertising for many years. He was a talented artist who won numerous Dayton Ad Club Hermes awards. He spoiled his family by creating wonderful "Shurte Tails" birthday cards.
In his retirement, he enjoyed playing golf and working part time to fuel his love for cars by selling his favorite "Jags." David never met a stranger and was always quick with a "shaggy dog" tale that would leave everyone groaning. He was devoted to his family and loved playing with his kids and grandkids.
The family wishes to thank the many caregivers he had from Buckeye Senior Care, especially Lydia and Mark.

The procession to the cemetery will line up starting at Newcomer at 10:00 am.
