David Duane Tellinghuisen

David Duane Tellinghuisen passed away on June 13, 2025, in Sioux City, Iowa. He was born to Hiram and Edna (Viken) Tellinghuisen on October 2, 1961, in Breckenridge, Minnesota.

During his childhood, David and his family moved several times, living in Minnesota, North Dakota, and Iowa. David graduated from Guthrie Center (IA) High School in 1979. He went on to earn a BA in Religion from Northwestern College (IA) and a Master of Divinity from Western Theological Seminary in Holland, MI. David was an ordained pastor in the Reformed Church of America and served churches in Montgomery, NY, Hawarden, IA, and Bradenton, FL. He later served as a transitional pastor for churches in Illinois, Wisconsin, and Florida.

On June 15, 1985, he was united in marriage to Kelly Conley in Spencer, IA. They were blessed with two children, Ryan and Laura, and two grandchildren.

David loved time with his family, particularly trips to visit his children and many excursions and adventures with Ryan. Above all, David loved his Savior, Jesus Christ, and sharing his faith with others. That abiding faith was inspirational to those who knew him, particularly as he faced terminal cancer. And as all who knew him would attest, he had an affinity for Apple products.

David is survived by his wife, Kelly; son, Ryan of Sioux City, IA, and daughter, Laura (Kurt) Henrichs of Creston, IA; grandchildren, Ivy and Oliver; and brother, Donald (Becca) Tellinghuisen of Grand Rapids, MI.

He was preceded in death by his parents.
