David always claimed to be a jack of all trades and master of none. He was a talented musician playing guitar on his treasured Fender Strat. He was a gifted structural steel technical engineer who did blueprints for everything from the Potter Center to sewage treatment plants and two of his own houses. As an entrepreneur, he served on the board of the Jackson Area Landlord's Association. He was an active member of the Democratic Party, the United Auto Workers, and the Teamsters Union. Mr. Savick has been cremated. His cremated remains will be interred next to his late wife, Charlene, at Hillcrest Memorial Park with an outdoor graveside service officiated by Reverend Jenn Gracen of the Universalist Unitarian Church of East Liberty. Services will be at Noon on Saturday, August 1, 2020 with current COVID-19 state mandated restrictions in place for attendees.
