David "Dave" Lyons-Pogue     1948-2018

My beloved David passed away peacefully at home while sleeping. He fought a courageous battle with cancer and never gave up. David did two tours in Vietnam with the U.S. Marine Corps and was exposed to Agent Orange. This took a huge toll on his health later in life. You may remember him during his many years with the City of Billings, Street/Traffic Department or going up against him on the basketball court! He is survived by his wife of 31 years, Marilyn; his fur baby Paddy; son Sean (Heather); daughter Kristin (Tara); stepson Wayne Sundelius; brothers Ron (Kye) and Gary (Shari); and 10 grandchildren. The family plans a gathering during the summer of 2019 where we will share his ashes. It’s been too long since we could dance together but we will dance again on the other side. Love you more, baby!
