David Robert Luban, age 60, of West Olive, passed away unexpectedly Sunday, August 7, 2022, from complications related to cancer. He was surrounded by his loving family. The son of Robert and Nancy (Ziegler) Luban, he was born on May 15, 1962, in Calumet City, Illinois.
In his youth, Dave attended both Grandville and Jenison High Schools. He also attended Grand Rapids Community College, and earned a welding certification. Dave went on to enjoy a 35 year career in welding. The past few years Dave had the pleasure of helping high school students learn to weld at the Careerline Tech Center in Holland.
