Dave was born on December 6, 1959, in Lincoln, the
son of Marvin “Pickle” and Waneta Clayton Klokkenga.
He is survived by his sister: Priscilla (Sam)
Ballance, his niece and nephew who were like his
children to him: Angie (David) Wulf and Matt
(Brooke) Ballance, one great niece: Brinley Ballance,
and three great nephews: Auggie and Archie Wulf, and
Brogan Ballance.
Dave graduated from the Hartsburg-Emden High School
in 1978. He was employed at the Country Hills Golf
Course in Greenview. He also immensely enjoyed
helping Joyce Aggert on her farm as farming was his
first real love.

Dave also successfully coached grade
school and Junior High School basketball at the
Hartsburg-Emden Schools, where he not only was
“coach” but cared for his players as his own.
Dave’s hobbies included playing slow
pitch softball where he was known for SMASHING THE
BALL!!! No one wanted to pitch to him and be
embarrassed. He was also an excellent golfer and
bowler. He loved watching Cardinal baseball and
University of Illinois basketball games while
yelling at the tv and posting coaching tips (or
complaining about coaching) on social media. He
fiercely loved his family and always gave everything
he had to the people he loved. Most importantly, he
was truly a great and loyal friend to so many.
Memorials may be made to his family to help cover
the costs of funeral services as he did not have
life insurance. Any amount left after his funeral
expenses are covered will be donated to Hartem Jr.
High Basketball.
Peasley Funeral Home of Lincoln is assisting the
family with arrangements.
