David Evan Stoner
David Stoner, 64, of Rochester, MN died August 25, 2022 at home surrounded by family.
He was born in Fort Dodge, IA on December 15, 1957 to Lillian and Raymond Stoner. Raised in Rochester, he graduated from John Marshall High School in ’76, then graduated with a BS in Anthropology from UM Minneapolis. He later got his master’s degree in project management from St. Mary’s University in 2011.
As a young man, he traveled the world: Nepal, Japan, Taiwan, Vietnam, Thailand, Philippines, India, and Hong Kong. During these travels, he met the love of his life, Marites (Mary) who he married in 2005 after 5 years of courtship. Their son, Will, was born in Taiwan. After many years teaching in Taiwan and Japan, he returned to MN and in his final years, he was a successful insurance broker with Golden Care.
He loved to paint, loved music, and was skilled playing organ and classical guitar. What he most loved was spending time with his family, because he was a sweet, kind, gentle, brilliant man who fully enjoyed his family. They did everything together.
He is survived by his wife Marites; son, Will; mother, Lillian; brothers, Loren (Becky), Gary (Lucia) Paul (Jo), and Andrew. He was preceded in death by his father, Raymond.
The memorial service for David will be held on Sunday, October 30, 2022 at 11:00AM in the River Park Chapel at Macken Funeral Home. Visitation will be held one hour prior to the service in the chapel. Reception to follow.

Condolences
The family of David Evan Stoner has received the following condolences.
I was so sorry to hear of David’s passing. Got to know David in college. Had many fun times and was always impressed with his intelligence and kind soul. Such an inquisitive person. So happy to see he found love and family who I know he cherished through recent conversations.
Our deepest sympathy and condolences to the bereaved family.. may he rest in peace
Dave and I became very good friends at Central Junior High and remain friends through High School, though he attended John Marshall and I attended Mayo. We reconnected years later in South Minneapolis in the '80s, then unfortunately lost contact throughout the years. Dave is a good man and a good friend. God bless him.

I was saddened to hear of passing of Dave. We lived in the same neighborhood, and even lived together back in the 70's. I hope he is at peace God bless
Sorry to hear of the passing of Dave I’m glad we got to reconnect on Facebook the last couple of years will miss talking to him about his dads time as a marine and politics.
My deepest sympathy for your loss. It is my hope that you find peace in knowing that he is in a better place and may God comfort your family and all who knew David.
- Jesus said: I give them eternal life, and they shall never perish; no one will snatch them out of my hand. My Father, who has given them to me, is greater than all; no one can snatch them out of my Father’s hand. I and the Father are one.
I am David's art instructor at Driftless Art Academy. I was deeply saddened to learn of David's passing. He was always such a kind and gentle soul and we enjoyed having him in the studio. My condolences to his family during this difficult time.
My deepest condolences to the family. I had the pleasure of working with David for the past five years as his manager. David was very good at his job. His compassion to help others was always present and his clients loved him. We could always count on David to help with whatever was asked of him. A truly wonderful person who is greatly missed. I pray he can rest in peace knowing he made a positive difference in the lives of those he has helped and touched the hearts of many.
