David W. Livingston Obituary

David "Dave" William Livingston Sr. of Brown Deer found Eternal Peace on August 1, 2023 at the age of 93.

Dear father of David W. (the late Beth) Livingston Jr., Cindy (Tom) Tobin, Daniel Livingston, and also survived by David Sr's partner of 32 years, Christine Sowinski. Proud grandfather of Aaron Tobin, Elise (Jeff) Zupan, Crystal (Angel) Robles, Andrew (Jennifer Mcnulty) Livingston, and great-grandfather of Grant and Jack Zupan, Cyrus Wegner; Ariana and Lucas Robles, and former spouse the late Susie Greene.

Born on October 26, 1929 at the height of the crises of the 1929 Stock Market Crash, David learned early on to appreciate the small things in life and taught his children the same, all while enjoying a great sense of humor that he got from his father which was passed down to his children and even grandchildren. He served in the National Guard for 10 years beginning in the early 1950's. In 1954, he joined the City of Milwaukee Police force where he was an officer from 1954 to 1964- at which point he transferred to the Macon County Illinois Sheriff's Department in the position of sergeant. He returned to Wauwatosa where he became Chief Forensic Investigator for The Milwaukee County Medical Examiner's Office for 25 years until his retirement in 1990. After retirement, he enjoyed traveling with trips throughout the U.S. as well as to Mexico and Southeast Asia. Throughout his life he has enjoyed camping, his RV, motorcycles, woodworking, hunting, fishing, boating and riding horses with his family and friends. He will be truly missed by all.

He is preceded in death by his parents, Arch and Bessie (nee Folts) Livingston, his sister Margaret (nee Livingston) Piscitello and his brother, Robert Livingston.

A private family gathering will be held.
