David Lee Castleberg, M.D., age 60, of Durand was born August 24, 1945, and died Friday February 24, 2006, at his home. He was born in Durand, Pepin County, fourth son of the late Clarence and Berneda (Lindstrom) Castleberg.
He was raised in Maxville until he was 16, when he moved to Arpin to manage an additional family farm. In 1964, he graduated from Wisconsin Academy (Columbus). He graduated from Southern Adventist University, Collegedale, Tenn., in 1969.
David was united in marriage to Evelyn Erickson on graduation, Sunday, June 1, 1969, in Apison, Tenn. He graduated from Loma Linda University School of Medicine in 1973. After a rotating internship at St. Lukes Hospital in Fargo, N.D., Dr. Castleberg began his practice of family medicine in Durand, where he continued until his early retirement in June 2004, due to metastatic colon cancer.
David was a lifelong active member of the Seventh-Day Adventist Church, serving in various church and school projects including duties of local elder, deacon and school board chairman. He had many interests in life — however, people and their needs were always at the very top of his list. He enjoyed years of activity in the Durand community. David served as mayor of Durand and later on the Durand Township Board. He served as medical director to the ambulance services in Durand as well as Pepin and Plum City. He was an active member of the staff at Chippewa Valley Hospital for over 30 years and Pepin County coroner for 16 years. One of his greatest satisfactions was using his time and talents to help start and operate an orphanage in combination with a medical/dental clinic in El Salvador, where up to 150 children were cared for. He had a great love of farming and continued with that interest throughout his last years. Farming routines, his dairy herd, and his beef herd provided many happy hours of work.
David’s greatest joys came from activities with his children, grandchildren and extended family. Interaction with the church family and good friends provided many treasured hours of enjoyment. He was never too busy to do “one more thing” or “go one more place.” He was devoted to serving the needs of the patients who chose him as their physician.
David will be sadly missed by his family and friends.
He is survived by his wife, Evelyn Castleberg of Durand; two daughters, Ronda Castleberg of San Ramon, Calif., and Robyn (John) Sandin of Madison; four sons, David (Cora) Castleberg II of Chatfield, Minn., Derek Castleberg of Shubuta, Miss., Bradley Castleberg of Nashville, Tenn., and Scott Castleberg of Shubuta, Miss.; five grandchildren, Sarah, Emma, Grace and David Castleberg III and John Sandin IV; seven brothers, Charles (Vivian) Castleberg of Mosinee, Clarence (Donna) Castleberg of Mondovi, Donald (Nancy) Castleberg of Burleson, Texas, Phillip Castleberg of Apopka, Fla., Marty Castleberg of Mondovi, Michael (Shirley) Castleberg of Fall River, and Mark (Kerri) Castleberg of Oconto; four sisters, Barbara (Byron) Chalker of Phoenix, Ariz., Phillis (Duane) Morauske of Howards Grove, Margaret (Jack) Otto of Winter Park, Fla., and Lois (Dan) Beaudette of Seymour, Tenn.
He was preceded in death by his parents, Clarence and Berneda (Lindstrom) Castleberg; and parents-in-law, Reuben and Carolyn (Schultz) Erickson.
A visitation will be held from 4:30 p.m. to 7:30 p.m. on Monday, February 27, 2006, at the Caddie Woodlawn Elementary Gymnasium. A memorial service will follow the visitation at 7:30 p.m.
Funeral services will be held at 11 a.m. on Tuesday, February 28, 2006, at Lyster Lutheran Church in rural Nelson, with Pastor Dale Ziegele officiating. Burial will be in the church cemetery.
Friends may call one hour prior to services at the church on Tuesday. The family is requesting a memorial fund in lieu of flowers to be used for the needs of the Durand, Pepin and Plum City Ambulance Services.
