David D. Sheets

David D. Sheets, 76, passed away February 3rd at Toledo Hospital. A lifelong Toledoan, he attended Macomber High School and worked at Toledo Jeep for 45 years, retiring in 2008.
In his younger years, he enjoyed spending time with his siblings and friends in the Old South End. With an explorative nature, Dave often took his wife and daughters on fun Sunday drives with a few adventurous stops along the way.
A talented woodworker, Dave enjoyed making original furniture pieces for his family and friends. One of his favorite hobbies was refurbishing classic cars including several Buicks and a Studebaker. His most prized accomplishment was The Sheetsmobile, a car he built from scratch including a solid oak frame, and registered with the Ohio Bureau of Motor Vehicles.
Dave is survived by his loving wife Edwina Carol (Rucki) Sheets, daughters Beverly McNear and Helene Sheets; sisters Shirley Mitchem, Nancy (Paul) Brothers, Susan Mills, and Linda (Gib) Baker; brothers Larry (Maryellen) Sheets, Rick Sheets and Kenneth Sheets; beloved grandchildren Justin, Sean and Chloe McNear; and several cherished nieces and nephews.
