Dr. David Farrell Minner, 58, of Twain Harte, a former Tracy resident who was

A native of Vallejo and the son of Chut and Ruby Minner, he grew up in Tracy

As an Army chief warrant officer from 1968 to 1972, he served as a gunship

After returning from the service, he attended the University of California, 
Riverside and then received his medical degree from UC San Francisco in 1978.

For the past 25 years, Dr. Minner had been a primary-care physician in 
Tuolumne County, first in the emergency room of Sonora Community Hopital and 
then in private practice in Groveland and most recently in Twain Harte.

After living 20 years in Miwuk Village, he had lived the last five years in 
Twain Harte.

Dr. Minner was a member of the Tuolumne County Medical Society and was 
president of the board of directors of the Twain Harte Golf Course. He also 
enjoyed fishing.

Survivors include his former spouse, Denise Minner of San Diego; son Josh 
Minner of Santa Cruz; daughters Megan Aymond and her husband, Justin, of Salt

and Jack Robinson of Sonora.

He was preceded in death by his wife, Marcia Minner, and his father, Chut
