David Paul Ambrose, age 51, of North Platte, Nebraska passed away at his home on May 28, 2023.
David Paul Ambrose was born on October 11, 1971 in Kansas City, Missouri to Harold and Mathel Ambrose. David attended grade school in New Franklin, Missouri. David spent his summers as a young boy hunting, fishing with his father and helping on his grandparents' farm. In 1983, David and his family moved to South Dakota and lived on the Pine Ridge. David attended high school at the Sunshine Bible Academy close to Miller, South Dakota. David spent his high school summers working on a ranch. David attended his first college year in Kansas, his second year at the School of Mines in South Dakota. While working at a boot repair shop in Rapid City, South Dakota, David met Wendy Ann Robbins and they started dating in 1992. The first time he came to get Wendy for a date, Wendy's father was sitting at the table cleaning his shotgun, but that did not scare David off. David and Wendy married on May 28, 1993. They lived in Rapid City, South Dakota until David finished college. Then they moved to Greeley, Colorado where he worked as a well repairman. David then joined the Colorado National Guard.
On June 3, 1994, David & Wendy's daughter Nellie Maye Ambrose was born. David started driving semi-trucks over the road. Dave and his family moved to Rushville due to his time spend over the road driving truck. It wasn't long until Dave found out that his runs did not bring him close to home, so they moved to North Platte, Nebraska. In 201, Dave started working at FedEx Freight until medical issues caused his early retirement. Dave succumbed to his cancer at his home surrounded by family and friends.
Dave loved hunting, fishing and working on older vehicles.
Dave is survived by his wife, Wendy Ambrose; his daughter and son-in-law, Nellie (Zac) Blair; his granddaughter, Annabell; his parents, Harold & Mathel Ambrose; and his brothers, Jonathan (Angie) and Mark Ambrose.
