David L. Gulliksen, 50, Peck
David Lee Gulliksen, 50, of Peck and formerly of Lewiston, passed away Friday, Aug. 21, 2009, after a five-year-long battle of wills between dad and cancer.
He was born Oct. 16, 1958, to Norm and SaraLee Gulliksen, the second of three boys.
In December 1979, he married Debbie Cash, and together they shared 11 years of marriage and his two baby girls, Shelby and Sheri.
In June 1993, he happily remarried to Kathy Lutes and they raised their son Steve to date.
Dave worked at Omark and then as it turned to Blount for 17 years as a machinist, until a work injury disabled him.
In his better days he enjoyed the outdoors, his family, and most of all his classic cars and Harleys, though some were always his works in progress.
He is survived by his wife, Kathy; children, Shelby, Sheri and Steve; his sweet baby granddaughter, Eva Belle; his parents, Norm and SaraLee; his brothers, Terry and John; as well as his nephew, Tyler; and niece, Amber.
We have lost a husband, a father, a grandpa, a son, a brother, an uncle and a friend. But he gained peace and solitude and we've gained an angel.
At dad's request cremation has taken place and there will be no services. In lieu, a covered-dish gathering for family and friends will be at 2 p.m. Sunday at Hereth Park in the Lewiston Orchards.
Pine Hills Funeral Chapel in Orofino is handling cremation.
