David Edward Cummings, 61, of Dowagiac, MI, passed away on Friday, July 1, 2022, at his residence in Dowagiac. Arrangements have been entrusted to Clark Chapel — 405 Center St., Dowagiac, MI.

David was born on Oct. 28, 1960, in Livonia, MI to the late Yale and Opal (McCullough) Cummings. He was a 1978 graduate of Livonia Franklin High School.

David traveled extensively to minister in Ukraine. The Ukraine and its pastors, orphanages and the people were his passion.

David was also a production supervisor at Thompson Door and CMI Architectural Products for over 20 years. He later became security and fire supervisor for Allied Barton.

David’s life was all about his son Drew. He loved coaching Drew’s baseball and soccer teams. David loved the kids and our “littles” like his own. He will be forever in our hearts and missed by so many.
