David Gerald Skenandore Jr, "Dave" passed away very unexpectedly on Sunday evening, July 26th, 2015. He was born to David Gerald Skenandore Sr. and Virginia Elizabeth Metoxen on March 27, 1965 in National City, California. "JR" was the youngest of five siblings. Dave's father was an active member of the U.S. Navy and traveled with the family throughout the United States. He attended and graduated from Granby High School in Norfolk, VA in 1983. After high school, Dave went on to college at Appalachian State University where he played college football. Later, he moved to Wisconsin and got a job at Oneida Casino in table games where he met the love of his life Amy Jo Lemke. They were married on August 20, 1999 at Calvary Lutheran Church in Green Bay. Dave and Amy had two sons, Devon Gerald and Brock Matthew. With Dave's older daughter, Whitney Elizabeth, they were a perfect family of five. "Big D" was known for his contagious smile and laugh that could fill a room. He knew people all throughout Norfolk, VA, Green Bay and the Oneida Community. Dave was an avid hunter and fisherman, and taught his sons the importance of both. He encouraged his daughter to pursue her artistic talents. Summer nights were spent at the baseball diamond and fall days on sidelines of the football field coaching the boys and their teammates. Dave enjoyed reading Stephen King, watching scary movies, spending time at his mom's house, playing with his pets, and teaching his children about life. His favorite holidays were Halloween and Christmas. Survivors include his wife, Amy, three children Whitney, Devon, and Brock, mother Ginny Skenandore, siblings Leanne (Skenandore) Doxtater, Matthew Skenandore, Vicky (Skenandore) Blaker, and Susan (Skenandore) (Linwood) White, Uncles Mike Hill and Earl Metoxen, Mother-in-law Judi Lemke, Sister-in-law Jodi (Rick) Brice, nieces and nephews Scott, Joe, Evan, Rick, Julie, Charlie, Jennifer, Ashley, Kyle, David, Ricky (Jaclyn), Michael, and Lauran, 19 great nieces and nephews.
