Dave Ruswinkle

David Lee Ruswinkle passed away on May 14, 2024. He grew up in Ohio. He proudly served in the United States Navy from 1984-2004.  His naval career allowed him to travel the world aboard some of the finest aircraft carriers, including USS Saratoga (CV-60), USS Nimitz (CVN-68), and USS Carl Vinson (CVN-70).  He especially enjoyed his travels to areas surrounding the Mediterranean Sea.

He was a lifelong sports fan.  He loved baseball, NASCAR, and football (especially college football - GO BLUE!).  His dedication to his beloved Cleveland Browns was honorable.

Dave is survived by his wife, Sharon, their children Katie, David, and Sarah, parents Ray and Sharon, and brothers Ken, Tim, and Todd.

Graveside services will be held at Fair Oaks Cemetery on Monday, June 3 at 11:30 AM.
