David Loren Humpal, 62 of Amery, died February 1, 2018 at his home in Amery, WI after his battle with ALS. He was born in Amery, November 13, 1955 to Al and Phyllis Humpal. He was raised in Deer Park, WI baptized and confirmed at St. John's Catholic Church of Clear Lake. In 1974 he graduated from Amery High School.
Dave met Pamela Kuhl in 1976 and they were married on October 14, 1978 at Redeemer Lutheran Church of Amery. Prior to the marriage Dave was confirmed as an adult at Redeemer, where he continued as a member for the remainder of his life.
Dave worked with his father, Al, out of high school at Humpal's Repair Shop in Deer Park, WI, where they serviced local farm machinery for over 20 years. In 2000, Dave took a job at Cardinal Glass in Amery, WI, where he worked until he retired in June of 2015.
Dave had two sons, Matt and Ryan, and enjoyed many activities with them and Pam. While the boys were playing hockey and baseball, Dave was a coach for their teams in the Amery Youth Hockey Association and Amery Little League for many years. After the boys began coaching, Dave and Pam were avid fans of all of their teams (and grandkids) and would be found at the ice rink, football or baseball field nearly every night.
The things Dave enjoyed most in his life were being at the ball park, playing for many years for Wanderoos fastpitch teams, as well different outdoor activities. If he was not at the ball park in the summer, he was found on a local lake or in Canada fishing. In the fall, Dave was always out in the woods hunting anything imaginable. Many of these hunting seasons were spent at the family cabin north of Hayward. While enjoying all of these activities Dave spent countless hours with his family and friends and loved every minute of it.
He is survived by his mother, Phyllis Humpal of Deer Park; wife, Pam of Amery; sons, Matt (Ariel) Humpal of Amery and Ryan (Rachel) Humpal of Milltown; grandchildren Gavin, Bentley, Graeme and Finnegan; brother Frank (Shari) Humpal of North Pole, AK; sister Elaine (Paul) McAndrew of New Richmond; sister-in-law Joanne (Marv) Gorres of Amery; brother-in-law Larry (Patty) Kuhl of Amery; brother-in-law John (Peg) Kuhl of Amery; and many other aunts, uncles, nieces, nephews and cousins.
