Hernes, 78, of Albert Lea, Minnesota, died Monday, April 27, 2015 at his home in Albert Lea. David Gene Hernes, son of Alfred and Gladys (Kloster) Hernes, was born October 6, 1936, in Naples, South Dakota. He was brought to the Lord Jesus as an infant by his parents. As a young man, he accepted and claimed that relationship as the foundation for his life. He was deeply grateful for the Christian faith and the example of his parents. In 1945, the family moved to Canton, South Dakota, where David grew up. His high school education was at Augustana Academy in Canton. After high school David graduated from the Lutheran Bible Institute in Minneapolis in 1956, Augustana College in Sioux Falls, South Dakota, in 1960 and Luther Seminary in St. Paul, Minnesota in 1964. On Septeber 5, 1964, David was united in marriage to Arla Mae Olson at Our Savior's Lutheran Church, rural Calamus, Iowa. Together they served the parishes of Sinai and Lake Campbell Lutheran Churches in Sinai and Volga, South Dakota, from 1964 to 1970; Gloria Dei Lutheran Church in Redwood Falls, Minnesota from 1971 to 1977; and Glenville First Lutheran in Glenville, Minnesota from 1977 to 1996. After leaving Glenville David served as a chaplain for Mayo Clinic Health System in Rochester, Minnesota for a year, served nine months as a missionary English teacher in Namibia, Africa, and three months as an English teacher for a medical mission in Bangladesh. In 1999 he began serving East Freeborn Lutheran Church of rural Albert Lea and served there until retirement from parish ministry. He had been an active member of the Salvation Army Corps Council and Men’s Club president from 2007 to the present. A meaningful part of his ministry was his service as a part-time chaplain at Fountain Centers in Albert Lea. He also found satisfaction in his involvement in Charis, a ministry to prisons in Minnesota. David was deeply grateful for his parents, his brothers and their families, and his children for their love, encouragement and support. He was grateful for Arla Mae, for her loving and self-giving partnership in their life and work. Rev. Henres was grateful for the support and goodwill that he enjoyed in the parishes and communities where he lived and served.
