David was born in Detroit to Emil and Aileen (Lund) Narhi on December 2, 1929. 
After serving in the Army Air Corps post-WWII, Dave met and married his love of 
over 50 years, Donna Ann (Stokes). In 1961, their growing family moved from 
Detroit to a farm in Livingston County. In addition to farming, Dave worked 
full time as a tool maker and started a repair/parts business, RF Equipment, 
Inc., still thriving near Perry, MI. Though he never fully retired, David did 
make time for a couple of hobbies; woodworking in the winter and golfing from 
early spring through late fall. A devoted Catholic, husband, and father, he was

Howell, Tanya Narhi of Ypsilanti, Tim (Kimberly) Narhi of Byron, Pamela

Afghanistan, Dave's grandchildren include Edward and Daniel Kahn, David, Roger, 
Kelly, and Melissa Turkowski, Raymon and Rhonda Caldwell, Leigh and John Narhi,

Dave has one great-granddaughter, Lily Turkowski with a second due in May, a 
sister, Alice Woodworth of Colorado, two nieces, two nephews, and brother-in-
law Gerald Stokes of Howell. Preceding David in death were his parents, a 
namesake nephew, and precious granddaughter, infant Emily Elizabeth.
  
Dave will be missed on the golf courses, at the shop, at the weekly family 
rosary and dinner, at church, and at the Fenton Hotel, where he took his 
beloved wife Donna on a dinner date and dancing every Saturday night. Viewing
