David Paul “Dave” Hoelzen, 69, of West Burlington, died Wednesday, Feb. 8, 2023, at the&nbsp;Southeast Iowa Regional Hospice House in West Burlington.

Born June 17, 1953, in Burlington, he was the son of Donald and Shirley Sylvester&nbsp;Hoelzen.&nbsp;Dave graduated from Burlington Community High School in 1971 and continued to be involved with the Class of '71 activities and reunions. He obtained associate degrees from Southeastern&nbsp;Community College in 1984 (electronics technology program) and 2005 (computer technology program).

Dave always had a passion for computers and technology and made a career doing what he&nbsp;loved. He worked with electronics at several businesses including Motorola and Andrew Corp.&nbsp;(formerly Conifer Corp.). After Andrew Corp. closed, Dave returned to school and was&nbsp;eventually employed at SCC as a System Administrator in 2006. He retired from SCC in 2017.

Dave was a computer hobbyist from the beginning of the personal computer revolution of the&nbsp;1970s. He spent most of his free time building and refurbishing computers and tinkering with&nbsp;other gadgets. Dave almost always had a video camera in hand to catch all of life’s big and small moments. He loved the outdoors, especially camping and boating on the Mississippi with&nbsp;friends and family. Dave was known for his unique sense of humor and silliness. He was very generous and never knew a stranger.

He is survived by his two daughters; Hilleary (Jonathan) Nguyen of Pennsylvania and Ally&nbsp;(Justin) Sapp of Burlington; three grandchildren, Mateo Nguyen, Lilia Nguyen, and Madelynn&nbsp;Sapp; five siblings, Deborah Bowen, Gregory Hoelzen, Sally Hoelzen, Amy Warren and Laura&nbsp;Harpin.

He was preceded in death by his parents and one sister, Susan Fagerland.

Since Dave was not a mourning person, the memorial service will be held at 2 p.m. on&nbsp;Monday, Feb. 13 at Lunning Chapel. Dave was known for his killer puns, so we invite you to put the fun back in funeral and join us for a celebration of life immediately following the&nbsp;service at the Eagles #150 in Burlington.

Memorials may be directed to the Southeastern Community College Foundation to support&nbsp;education in technology.

Cremation has been entrusted to the care of Lunning Chapel as burial prices have skyrocketed&nbsp;due to the cost of living.
