David James Agar, 64, of Fergus Falls, passed away after a courageous battle with Cancer on Tuesday evening, April 2, 2013, at Lake Region Healthcare, surrounded by his loving family.
David was born on February 26, 1949 to Dwayne "Dan" and Agnes "Peg" Agar (O'Neill). He grew up in the town of Browns Valley where he and his brothers worked at the family's restaurant and Dance coliseum. He graduated from Browns Valley High School in 1967. He then enlisted into the Navy in a branch called the Navy Seabees and fought in the Vietnam War. Upon returning home from the war he went to school in Fergus Falls at the community college. While in college he met his future wife Ramona "Penny" Wellbrock.
On July 8, 1972 David and Penny were wed at the Immanuel Lutheran Church in Fergus Falls. David began working at the Fergus Falls Regional Treatment Center as a Licensed Alcohol and Drug counselor. He continued to work for the Treatment Center through the transition to the Community Addiction Recovery Enterprise (CARE) where he remained as a supervisor until his death. He worked as a LADC for over 30 years and made an impact in numerous people's life, making it his life's work to help people beat their addictions.
David enjoyed hunting with his sons, brothers-in-law, and nephew. He loved to be at the lake and greatly enjoyed fishing. One of his favorite pastimes was camping with his family. He also enjoyed making trips to the casino, playing cards with friends, and watching sports on TV with his oldest son Davey. One of his greatest joys was spending time with his only grandchild, Madelyn. Madelyn and David shared a special bond, and he held her very close in his heart. David was a kind, generous, and positive person and his humor and laugh would light up the room.
