David Edward Truax

David Edward Truax, the son of life-long Mooresville residents, Ross and Doral (Hadley) Truax, “took the exit ramp” after a valiant battle with cancer.

Never downhearted in spite of life’s misfortunes, David will be remembered fondly by his sister, Margaret Beison and her husband Stephen; his niece Amy Schoening, her husband Jeff and their son Ethan; his niece Angie Beison and her son Colin; his aunt Wilma Parsons; his uncle and aunt, Phil and Lois Truax; numerous cousins; and his “church family” at the Mooresville Friends Church.
A graduate of Mooresville High School, David received degrees in Urban and Regional Planning from Ball State and an M.B.A. from Indiana Wesleyan University.

His varied career included employment with Riley Area Development, Boehringer Mannheim, Charles Schwab and Lockheed Martin.

His boundless creative drive radiated in speeches for Toastmasters, in knitting projects for friends, in banjo playing, and most notably, in his three-act musical “Acorns”, which was produced by the Channing Street Players in 1994. He loved road trips with the Indy Miata Club and camping excursions with friends.
