Birth date: Jun 29, 1960 Death date: Dec 2, 2012
Years ago a cowboy with a short memory and the nickname 'Freckles' Brown could never remember David's name and solved that problem by calling him 'Dingus.' The name stuck. He was the top steer wrestler in the Iowa Rodeo Cowboys As Read Obituary
Will never forget the many nights I had the pleasure to sit with Dingus at Goodtimes in Decatur Iowa when I was working.
David and I were both just kids the last time I saw him. His family and mine rode horses together in and around Madrid, Iowa. Since I was older than him, he has always been just a kid in my mind. From time to time I'd hear about what a great cowboy he was and I was never surprised. Condolences to his family from me and my family. I pray his Angels met him on horseback to take him to Heaven.
The first time I met Dingus he was kind and a friend he never knew a stranger. So much fun to watch him in the Ranch Rodeos he loved it and had a lot of fun enjoyed setting around having a good time listening to stories. One time he went up to JJ and said hey where is your lady friend that makes that peach pie, he couldn't remember my name.LOL JJ said she brought some with her. If Dingus knew we was going to be where he was going he brought me bottles and was ready for a bottle of good O'l peach pie.. And of course a coors Light with JJ.. we are so sorry for your loss, a rare kind, a true cowboy, who touched lives of many.
we are very sorry for your loss and the loss of a great cowboy and friend, The boys traveled many a mile and told many a story with Dingus and he will br truly missed.n
The definition of Dingus D=Down to earth I=Inspiring G=Genuine U=Unpretentious S=Straight Thinking These words sums up the Dingus that Dennis and I knew. He was all those things and then some. We first met Dingus in the mid 80's at the Allerton Salebarn. Dingus was the rodeo clown for James Sears at that time, plus he entered in alot of the events. He was an amazing person, he made us laugh everytime we were around him. He was so good to our kids also. We were blessed to have him as our friend. Kelly, please know that you are in our thoughts and prayers, May God Bless you and your family. Dennis and Twila McMurry
Kelly, Leave it to me to mess this up( I left the N out of Dingus's name. So, I am submitting this again to add the definition of the N Natural is what he was. God Bless
My heart goes out to the family and many friends of Dingus.He gave me the name of yo B everyone has heard him scream that in a crowded room. My customers would get upset and I would have to explain that is how he showed me he cared and if they would call me that he would kick thier butt. I know when i get to the pearly gates he will be there screaming YO B. I will miss you Dingus.
Dingus. What can I say about this man other than you were a part of my family. The first person I looked for as soon as we pulled onto the Leon rodeo grounds. This world will not be the same without you. To Kelly and the girls-I love you all to the moon and back. If ever you need anything I am here. You are in my thoughts always. Lots of love.
