David was born on May 13, 1960 to Robert and Jackie (Thoma) Hutmacher in Sioux City. He graduated from North High School. David worked as a draftsman for Boeing in Seattle until Multiple Sclerosis prohibited him from working. He was also an avid fisherman and he loved to ski and hike and ride his bike. Despite losing his ability to do these things, David always had a positive attitude about life and was known to say he was doing "better than some and worse than others." He is survived by his parents Robert and Jackie Hutmacher of Sioux City; two sisters Barbara Doherty of Sioux City; Karen Johnson and husband Bill Andert of Mankato, MN; three brothers Michael (Meredith) Hutmacher of Berthoud, CO; Rick (Jamie) Hutmacher of Yankton, SD; and John (Jill) Hutmacher of Madison, WI; and nine nieces and nephews who loved him. The family would like to thank David's caregivers and friends for making it possible for him to live in his home despite his disability. You are all much appreciated!
