Obituary For David Paul Molitor

David Paul Molitor (February 9, 1939- February 13, 2023)

David Paul Molitor met Jesus face to face on Monday February 13th, just days after his 84th birthday. David was a man of great integrity who loved his Lord above all else. David was born to Antoinette (Zaczowski) and Alex Molitor on February 9th, 1939. He was one of eleven children. He married Nancy Roberts on April 8th, 1961. They had four biological children: Renée Molitor, Jeanine (Bob) Dull, Connie (Michael) Moravec, and Jeff (Krista) Molitor, and one beloved foster daughter, Patty Miley. Nancy and David have 8 grandchildren: Jasmine (Joseph) Kirkpatrick, Sage (Ryan) Gaylord, Ian Moravec, Rienna Moravec, Elissa Dull, Ryan Dull, Jed Molitor and Reid Molitor. They have one precious great grandchild, Brielle Gaylord.

David was an award-winning artist and excelled in many different mediums. He had wonderful memories of his time working on a farm in his youth, but never realized his dream of owning a farm in this life. We are sure God is giving David the desire of his heart now. We are also confident that David has been welcomed by the Lord with “Well done good and faithful servant.”

David’s life will be celebrated Monday, February 20th at 11:00 AM at Gateway Community Church, 3510 High Road, Middleton, WI 53562. The service will be live streamed on Gateway Community Church site. Visitation will begin at 10:30.

In lieu of flowers, gifts can be made to CareNet.

    Dear Molitor family, I am praying that the Lord will hold you close as you grieve this significant loss. I was able to watch the memorial service livestream. What beautiful testimonies of a Grandfather that was dearly loved! Connie, I appreciated your words about God's transforming power in your dad's life! I am eternally grateful for the love and hospitality your family showed me, nearly 40 years ago. I surrendered my life to the Lord Jesus Christ at your Windsor home while we were studying the book of Ephesians---- that step from darkness to Light changed the trajectory of my life! Your family played an important part in my redemption story! I would love to tell you more about all the Lord has done in my life and family. Renee might be particularly interested to know that my husband and I have been doing college ministry work on 4 campuses and leading mission trips to Latin America for the last 24 years. Nancy, I am sending you a big hug and will keep you in my prayers. Renee, Jeannine, Connie and Jeff, I pray you will remember all the ways your dad loved you well. Yes, it is true, because of the precious love of Christ we have received more than we deserve. I thank God that your dad understood that and lived his life in that spiritual posture. I would welcome a text from you if you want to reconnect. God is good! May you know His strength and nearness as you head back into your regular routines. With gratitude and fond memories, Catherine ( Cathy) Olson (Wilke) 952 857 9857

what our families say

Tiffany Foster went out of her way to fulfill all my requests, talked me through problems I was facing, and tried to make me feel as comfortable as possible when I was a wreck, totally crushed, and I thank her with all of my heart for that.

The professional manner of the staff made a difficult time a little easier.

Lynda R. | July 2020

Services provided for both parents were perfect, on time, and no issues. Brenda is awesome and strong!

Michael M. | July 2020

Skyler was absolutely amazing. She was so caring and helpful through this whole process. She even went above and beyond to meet with us in DeForest and even to make a stop at our home to drop off or pick up anything needed. While it was a small gesture, it was so helpful and greatly appreciated.
