David Lake Strohn, 79 passed away on August 2, 2022 at Twin Cities Hospital in Templeton.  David was born to Paul Fayette Strohn and mother, Grace Jeanette (Jones) Strohn, August 25, 1942 in King City at the King City Community Hospital.

He was raised on the Rancho San Bernardo and lived in San Ardo for 35 years and King City for 45 years. His family traces back to 7 ^th and 8 ^th generation Californians.  He married his soul mate and love of his life, Linda Martella Strohn in 1977.  Wherever he was she was and wherever she was he was.

David was born with Hirschsprung disease. When he was high school age, Dr. Andrus and Dr. Goenne worked as a team to do surgery on David to remove part of his colon which blocked his intestine. During this time he lost 1 year of high school.  Throughout his life as he got older he had many complications with his stomach which eventually led to his passing.

David's career involved 34 years with PERS Calif. Systems: 17 years with San Ardo School and 17 years with the City of King City as a plant engineer.  He worked in between with the Salinas Valley Fair.

He enjoyed a good barbeque with family and friends, deer and wild boar hunting and fishing at Nacimiento Lake.  He was known for being a "Jokester" and we know that David would have wanted us to mention his Best Friends growing up and thru life, Arvid Myre, Ron Bernard and Bobbie Scharf.  He very often spoke of the pranks they pulled off and just being friends.

David is survived by his wife, Linda Strohn; children, Scott Strohn (wife, Connie Sue), Jennifer Auvil; grandchildren: Kaycie Strohn, Shelby Fee (husband, John), Arianna Neis (husband, David), Nicholas Auvil, Christopher Auvil; 6 great grandchildren; sister, Faye Strohn; brother, Howard Strohn (wife, Minnie); brother-in-law, Harold Martella (wife, Paula); nieces, Tina Schrader (husband, Sam), Lisa Martella and her daughter Bella.

The family would like to thank Dr. Irene Spinello of Twin Cities Hospital and her team for the comfort and care they gave to David. They were all so special.
