He was born April 30, 1951 in Dodgeville, WI the son of Magne and Lenore (Gilbertson) Ostby.   At the age of 7 David’s mother, Lenore, passed away and his father was unable to care for him so he moved in with the Jerome and Marian Tollakson family. He was a lifelong Argyle resident, graduating from high school in 1969. David worked for Argyle Industries for many years, then as a feed mill operator and delivery driver for FS Ag Service until illness forced his retirement.

He was preceded in death by his parents and three brothers: LaVerne (Sonny) Ostby, Robert Ostby, and Donald Ostby.

David was a member of Argyle Rod & Gun Club, Tri-County Bear Hunters, Wisconsin Bear Hunting Association, and many other outdoor organizations. He was an avid bear hunter but also loved to hunt coon and deer. David also loved to take fishing trips to Canada over the years. David enjoyed talking and spending time with his family and friends.
