He is also survived by five sisters and eight brothers as well as their families. David Stahl was born in Portage la Prairie on December 19, 1952. He was a long distance truck driver for many years and enjoyed being on the road and seeing different places. He was also really devoted to his family, especially spending time with his grandkids. David was a very happy person and was very strong in his Faith in the Lord. He met his wife Sandra (nee Hiebert) ten years ago and they were married for six years. Together they built a life in Steinbach surrounded by many friends and family members. The family would like to express their thanks for all the love and support from those around them.
