David Paul Hawkins, 62, Kasson

David Paul Hawkins, 62, of Kasson passed away peacefully on July 25, 2022 at Seasons Hospice House, Rochester.

He was born on November 7, 1959, in Rochester, to Gene and Zeta (Zubradt) Hawkins. David was graduated from Kasson-Mantorville High School and later received an associate degree from RCTC. He married Marian Martin; they were later divorced. He then married Toni Paro.

David loved sports, mechanics, and antique shopping, but most of all he loved his family and friends. He was an outgoing and personable man who had a smile that “lit up the sky.”

He always left a mark on everyone he encountered in his life even if that encoun- ter was just a simple “Good Morning” or “Hello.”

David is survived by mother Zeta Hawkins; his children Crystal (James) Donahoe, Marcella (Nathan) Gasner, and Brittany Hawkins; grandchildren Daltin, Riley, Beau, and Grayson; and brothers Glenn (Sabrina) Hawkins and Rick (Laura) Hawkins.

He was preceded in death by his wife Toni, his father Gene Hawkins and his paternal grandparents.

A Celebration of Life will be held at 11 a.m. on Thursday, August 4, 2022, at the Assemblies of God Church, 4240 — 18th Ave NW, Rochester, with Pastor Mike Stohr officiating. Visitation will be at the church one hour prior to the service.

Those attending are requested to enter through Door 1. A reception lunch will be held immediately following the celebration service.
