David was born on August 7,1947 to Sylvester and Phyllis (Duncan) Seydel. Following graduation from Regina, he started his mechanical career at various shops around Iowa City and did farming at night. In 1973, Dave joined Sy at Seydel Auto. In 1976, they moved the shop to Iowa City and shortly after Dave built the shop where Seydel Auto is currently located. In early 2000 Pat joined the shop. Pat has taken over the day-to-day operations for the past 10 years.

On April 6, 1968, David married Pamela Rebal at St. Mary’s Catholic Church and to this union, three children were born.

In his spare time, Dave enjoyed working on and playing with his “Adult Tonka Toys” on his acreage. He also enjoyed figuring out how gadgets worked and rebuilding them. Every year he planted sweet corn and canned with his kids. Above all, David was a devoted husband, father and grandfather. Spending time with his family was the most important thing.

David is survived by his loving wife, Pam; children: Patrick Seydel, Jamie (Cassie) Seydel and Heather (Todd) Baumgartner; grandchildren: Kendel (Tyler) Clark, Michael Baumgartner and Andrew Baumgartner; great grandchildren: Harrison and Amelia Clark as well as his siblings: Linda Schrock, Tom Seydel, Jerry Seydel, Phillip Seydel, Lisa Fuhrmeister, Lori Stuelke and Teresa Walker. He was preceded in death by his parents and his siblings: Sue Gordon, Cindy Friend and Randy Seydel.

The family would like to extend a very special thank you to Henry and Susan with Superior Care of Iowa. In lieu of flowers, memorials may be made to Superior Care of Iowa, The Bird House – Hospice House of Johnson County, or to the Trappist Casket Child Casket Fund.
