David C. Minniear

May 15, 1961 - September 26, 2020

David Charles Minniear, 59, Columbus, OH - David was born in Philadelphia on May 15, 1961 to James Minniear and Arleen Koltas Minniear. On Saturday, September 26, 2020, he went to be with his Lord and Savior after battling Pulmonary Fibrosis. He is preceded in death by his father and is survived by his mother and four brothers: Greg, Tim, Mike, and Dennis. His desire to minister to people was the driving force for his life and he accomplished this through pastoring, sales, construction, and driving school buses and limousines. David has been married to his devoted wife Kim for 38 years and has 6 wonderful children: Jessica (Jamie) Dutkiewicz, Carissa (Jonathan) Batchelder, Zachary (Alyssa) Minniear, Brianna Minniear, Josiah Minniear, and Caleb Minniear. His 8 precious grandchildren are Paxtan, Victoria, James, Caia, Emily, Olivia, Jacob, and Carter. We will truly miss the love, the laughter, and the adventure this man provided to our family. We want to thank our numerous family and friends for their many prayers and wonderful support. Services will be held at Radiant Life Church (RLC) 7100 Post Rd Dublin, OH on Sunday, October 4 at 3 pm. The service will be live streamed on RLC’s Facebook page for those unable to attend.
