Obituary : David
"Dave" Joseph Baudhuin, 63, unexpectedly passed away on Sunday,
November 20, 2022, from an aortic aneurysm. He was born January 20, 1959, in
Rockford, the son of Paul and Annette Baudhuin.
David graduated from Boylan Catholic High School
and enlisted in the United Sates Navy. After scoring exceptionally high on his
placement tests, he was recruited by the U.S. Naval Academy. He graduated from
Annapolis to eventually become a flight instructor and a P-3 pilot.
In 1988, David left the Navy as a Naval Aviator
and relocated with his family to Lakeville, MN. He loved spending time with his
children, whether it was coaching soccer, being a math tutor, or going on
family vacations. David was a pilot for Delta Airlines for 32 years, until he
hung up his Captain’s hat in 2020.
David was loving retirement with his wife, Lisa.
Together they traveled cross country in their RV, stopping along the way to
spend quality time with family. In the winters, they snow birded in Las Vegas,
NV with his parents, playing cards, golfing, and enjoying each other’s company.
David’s personality was larger than life which
matched the size of his heart. He lived life to the fullest and brought so much
joy and energy everywhere he went. David was the first to offer help to anyone
and topped it off with his one-of-a-kind sense of humor. In addition to serving
his community, he was active member of the Knights of Columbus, an avid Vikings
fan, and a loving family man.
David is survived by his father and mother, Paul
and Annette Baudhuin; his wife, Lisa Baudhuin; his son and daughter-in-law,
Joey and Caitlin Baudhuin; his daughters, Jaclyn and Jessica Baudhuin (partner,
Clinton Polk); his sister, Pat Naruz and her husband Larry, his brother, Mike
Baudhuin and his wife Susan, and his brother, Tom Baudhuin and his wife Cindy;
his step-children, Zac (partner, Ashley) and Melissa Cornett (partner, Josh);
eleven grandchildren, among countless other friends and family that loved him
dearly.
Funeral Mass will be held at 11:00 A.M. on Monday,
December 5, 2022, at Holy Family Catholic Church, 4401 Highcrest Rd. Rockford,
with Reverend David Beauvais officiating. Visitation details will be on our
