David Robert Kassing

Dr. David Robert Kassing passed away in a tragic car accident on September 8, 2012 at the age of 51. He was born at Fort Riley, Kansas on March 22, 1961 to Troy and Bob Kassing. After graduating from Brebeuf High School in 1979, David attended Denison University. He graduated in 1983 with a degree in Economics, having studied a semester at the London School of Economics. He then shifted course, not wanting a career in business, and went on to receive his medical degree from Indiana University in 1991. David spent his entire career with Northside Anesthesia at St. Vincent's Hospital in Indianapolis. David was devoted to God, his wife, children and family. Mission trips to Africa, teaching children's Bible study at Lifepointe Church, music, cars, and a love for the great outdoors were additional passions. He will be remembered for his zest for life, sense of humor, selflessness, love of others and always going above and beyond. David centered his life on others, not only those closest and dearest to him, but also those he happened to meet along the way. David is survived by his loving wife Sherry (Baker), their 4 year old twins, Luke and Sophia, his sons Jordan and Matthew, his parents Troy and Bob, his sisters Lynne Lundy and Susan Sveen, his father and mother-in- law, Junior and Sharon Baker, and his nieces and nephews Kirsten, Carter, Madison, Erik, Eric, Jordan and Jimmy.

Visitation will be on Friday, September 14 from 3-8 PM at St. Christopher's Episcopal Church, and also from 10 AM until service time on Saturday at the church.
