David Lee Hein

David Lee Hein was born and spent most of his childhood in Miami, Florida. 

He led a interesting and accomplished life as he served his country in the Air Force and in law enforcement, worked for NASA, was a master electrician, started his own computer company, managed several restaurants, and supervised the food service at a regional animal park. 

He spent his last 12 years living with extended family in west Michigan, where he was very generous to family, neighbors, and strangers with his time and considerable talents. After two hurricanes in six weeks hit Lake Charles, Louisiana in 2020, Dave headed there with his small bus and all his tools to help the city recover in any way he could - remodeling, rebuilding, re-wiring, and connecting with many locals with his time and talent. 

David is survived by his brother George (Dick) Hein, his sister Sarah Hazen, nephews Frank Hein, Ben Hein, John Hein, and niece Emily Murphy. David was preceded in death by parents George and Ruth Hein, brothers Frank Hein and Tom Hein, and two nieces, Christin Devaldivielso and Sarah Barstatis.
