Dave was a loyal and kind person who always helped his family, friends, and neighbors. He was known for his outrageously funny and sarcastic sense of humor and his love for pranks. He was also a great storyteller and always had a tale to share.

After graduating from Mt. St. Helens High School in Winlock, Washington, in 1969, Dave was initiated into Local 695 of the United Association of Journeyman and Apprentices of the Plumbing and Pipe Fitting Industry. He spent 47 years as a member in good-standing.

In his free time, Dave loved fishing, working on hot rods, creating artistic metal fabrications, going on road trips, listening to music, and spending time with his grandchildren.

Dave is survived by his wife of 42 years, Linda Sayler, his son John Sayler, his daughter Bobbi (Kevin) Ralphs, his brother Gary (Dawn) Sayler, his sisters Trish (Bahram) Sheed and Leslie Sayler, and his grandchildren Joshua (Lindsay) Sayler, Nichole (Jake) Cox, and Amber (Jade) Denny, as well as five greatgranddaughters and numerous nieces and nephews. He was preceded in death by his father Wilbert M. Sayler, his mother Gloria L. Sayler, and his granddaughter Samantha Jade Kelley.
