Falnes

David Wayne Falnes passed away on Friday, March 31st, 2023 at Hospice of Wichita Falls, surrounded by friends and family. He was born on October 11th, 1965 in Wichita Falls, Texas.

His parents were Kenneth Falnes and Barbara (Brooks) Falnes. He grew up in Wichita Falls, Texas and graduated from Rider High School in 1983. He married the love of his life, Ginger Davis, on June 3rd, 1989. They settled in Iowa Park, Texas and spent the next 34 years raising their family.
David studied Business at Midwestern State University following his graduation from high school. He worked at Pierce Sales in Henrietta as a welder and later as a salesman for a total of 17 years. For the last 6 years, he has been a salesman at Steel & Alloy Specialties in Wichita Falls.

David was a talented musician and shared his passion for music with his son Bryce Falnes. He played lead guitar in several bands over the years and was heavily involved in the local music scene. His other passions included disc golf, watching his beloved Cowboys, spending time with friends and family, and hanging out with his dogs. David was always the first person to show up when someone needed help, and always went out of his way to ensure that others were taken care of before he was.

David is preceded in death by his parents Kenneth and Barbara Falnes. He is survived by his wife of 34 years Ginger; his son Bryce Falnes of Iowa Park; his daughter Sara Torres and her husband Freddy Torres of Wichita Falls; his daughter Rene Falnes of Wichita Falls; and countless friends.
