David Giersch

David Giersch, 64, beloved Father, Son, Grandfather, and Father-in-law, was called to his eternal resting place on June 14, 2023. He entered this world on September 28, 1958, in Peoria, IL, born to David and Patricia (Putts) Giersch.

He is survived by his daughter Erin Matheson (Geoff Matheson); grandsons Blake and Charlie Matheson all of Australia; Shannon Alexander (Jay Alexander) of St. Louis. He is also survived by his brother John Giersch of TN, and sister Linda Gutierrez of FL.

Dave found the most joy with the simple things in life. Dave loved to fish, listen to the birds sing, and sit by the fire taking in all of what nature has to offer. Dave took pride in his garden and keeping his yard looking pristine. Dave had a love for music, and taught himself how to play the guitar.

Dave loved his "Musky" and "Bo" as he often called his daughters by their nicknames with the biggest smile on his face.
