He was born on January 23, 1959 in Bagley, MN to Elmer and Virginia (Rossell) Edevold. He was confirmed at Samhold Lutheran Church in Gonvick, MN, the city where he grew up. He attended Gonvick School and Graduated from Gonvick High School with the Class of ’77. David went on to attend Northland Tech for Welding, and work for Brodin Sheet Metal and then Arctic Cat in Thief River Falls. He also worked at Homark Homes in Red Lake Falls and Sugar Beet Harvest. In 1990, he began working for Richards Publishing in Gonvick where he was currently employed.
David married Deborah Severson, his high school sweet heart. They resided in Gonvick for the entire time and after being together for twenty five plus years, they officially tied the knot at their favorite fishing spot at Lake Vermillion on June 17, 2004. In 2009, Debbie and David adopted a furry four-legged puppy that became their fishing and camping buddy, Serena.
David’s hobbies and activities included gardening, giant pumpkin growing, photography, any type of fishing, camping, hunting, and spending time around the campfire with his family and friends. David was very devoted to his mother, who he took care of until her death in November, 2012. He enjoyed spending time with his brother-in-laws, nieces, nephews and friends sharing with them his love of camping, fishing and hunting. He will be tremendously missed.
He is survived by his wife, Debbie (Severson) Edevold and Serena; his sister, Sandy (Mike) Wabrath; his nephews, Danny Edevold, Scott Hagen, and Sean Hagen; his great nephew and nieces, Parker Hagen, Tayler Murray, and Christine Mondt; and his brother-in-law, Spencer Hagen. David married into the Severson family, which includes DeeDee (Stanley) Sundquist, Lori Severson, Jane (Jeffrey) Jorgenson, Kari (Tom) Vinson, Roby (Sheryl) Severson, Randy (Janet) Severson; Godchildren, Doug Sundquist, Cody Severson, and Mary Johnson; and numerous aunts, uncles, nieces, nephews, cousins, and friends.
He was preceded in death by his parents, Elmer and Virginia Edevold; and his brother, Donald Edevold.
