David Field was born April 30, 1964 at Langdon to Lorne and Gertrude (Howatt) Field.

As he grew up in Langdon, he cultivated lifelong relationships with his loving family, his large extended family and great friends. With many memories made, he graduated from Langdon High School in 1982 and from NDSSS in Wahpeton in 1984. Dave moved for a short time to Mesa, AZ. He spent many years working in the family Coast to Coast business in Langdon where he was always helpful and a warm friendly face. He began his insurance career in 1995 when he started at the Mostad Insurance Agency. He built his career there, achieved many career accomplishments and formed lasting friendships especially with Danny Mostad.

David was united in marriage to Tara Olson in a candlelit Christmas wedding on December 7, 1996 at the United Lutheran Church in Langdon, ND.

They made their home in Langdon and first welcomed a newborn son, Sam, to the family and within a few years, a daughter, Emma. They continued to make their home in Langdon where they were close to their parents while they enjoyed raising their children, and building their careers. Dave has been active in the community and gave his time to many things including the Cavalier County Memorial Hospital Golf Tournament. He was a member of the Langdon Eagles Aerie # 3454, the Langdon Country Club and the United Lutheran Church of Langdon where he served on committees and helped with various functions. Dave was a talented and avid golfer, having traveled far and wide to golf. During the winter months when he couldn’t golf, he enjoyed a good game of racquet ball.
