David Haviland passed away on May 1, 2017 at the Kavanagh House in Des Moines, IA surrounded by his loving family. David was a retired Des Moines Police Sergeant, having served over 20 years with the department. He enjoyed watching police shows and trying to solve the cases before the characters did. He also enjoyed fishing, the lake, playing cribbage, cards, and spending time with his grandkids, who he “loved a million times more than life itself.” David is survived by his wife of 52 years, Twila (Heckmann); sons, Matt and Chris (Stacey); daughter, Anne (Rob) Kooker; grandchildren, Landon and Brolen Kooker and Lucas and Laney Haviland; brother, Dale Haviland; sister, Sandra Branchcomb; and several other brothers, sisters, nieces and nephews. He was preceded in death by his parents, Lyle and Ruby. Visitation will be on Thursday, May 4, 2017 from 4:00-7:00 PM at Caldwell Parrish Funeral Home & Crematory in Urbandale.
