David “Dave” Frank Busfield
April 25, 1946 - November 5, 2026
With heavy hearts, the family of Dave F. Busfield, age 80, announces his passing on November 5, 2026, though we find comfort in knowing he is reunited with his “wifey,” Mary Ann, who preceded him in death on January 18, 2026.
Dave was born on April 25, 1946, to Amos and Dorothy “Dot” (Kimball) Busfield in Allegan, Michigan. He graduated from the University of Michigan with a business degree and was proud to say he was a businessman and entrepreneur, owning two successful businesses during his professional career. He and Mary Ann lived their dream of owning a log home on 10 acres, which Dave nurtured into their own private nature preserve. Over the years he had the satisfaction of watching the dozens of trees he planted as babies grow to towering maturity.
