He died Friday, May 6, 2011, and cremation has taken place. A scattering of ashes will be at a private family location. Memorials go to "Chopper," Dave's Foundation for Animals. Arrangements are under the direction of the Colyer Funeral Home. ——— Dave was born on Nov. 3, 1956, in Norfolk, the son of Marvin and Jody (Peters-Lambert) Prochaska. He grew up and received his education at Pierce, graduating from high school there in 1974. He married Beverly Pettit right out of high school. The couple had two children, Kasey and Konnie, and then later divorced. During his life with Bev, Dave worked at various jobs, welding at Timpte Manufacturing at Wayne and farming in the Norfolk area until going to work for Fruehauf of Omaha, where he built transport trailers and tanks. Dave also built oil rig components. In 1991, Dave met the love of his life, Darla Wiese, and the couple were together for five years when a freak accident took her from him. But during those years, Dave took up residential and commercial flooring and began his own company of DZ Floors in Norfolk. Dave later married Dianne Mielke in Norfolk, and he continued his flooring business while doing side jobs of welding, construction and anything else a friend might need. He and Dianne later divorced, and in 2002 Dave moved to Torrington, where he worked for Taylor's Carpet in Scottsbluff until they closed. He then contracted through Anderson Carpet of Lingle, Wyo., and also did independent flooring under Pro Floors. Dave was proficient at carpet, vinyl, tile and loved his work until ill health forced him to stop work in March of 2011. Dave was a Harley enthusiast and loved riding his Harley. He liked working on motorcycles, cars and anything with a motor. He enjoyed welding, carpentry, old westerns, farming and his tractors, but he mostly loved hanging out with his buddies. He was a member of the Moose Club and the Torrington ABATE club. Dave took pride in everything he did, and there was no job he couldn't do. He had no enemy, and he was a friend to all he met. He loved helping his friends, and he was dearly loved by his friends and family. He will be missed. He is survived by his son, Kasey and wife Eryn Prochaska of Plainview; his daughter, Konnie Prochaska of Hawaii; his sister, Jan Alexander of Torrington; three brothers and sisters-in-law; Paul and Kathy Prochaska of Welfleet, Russ and Judy Prochaska of Fairfield and Mike and Amy Prochaska of Seattle, Wash.; three grandchildren, Jayna Prochaska, Zion Olivia and Zander Manuel; and his best friend, Chris Alexander of Torrington. He was preceded in death by his grandparents; his father, Marvin; his mother, Jody Lambert (who was mom to all who knew her); and his one true love, Darla. The Star-Herald June 7, 2011
