Obituaries
David Melvin Ackerman, 65, went to be with the Lord on March 9, 2021 following a year-long battle with brain cancer.
He was born in North Platte on April 15, 1955, a fitting date for one who became a tax accountant. The first of five children, David graduated from North Platte Senior High in 1973, attended community college in North Platte and graduated Hasting College in 1978.
David ventured to Eugene, Ore. where he opened an energy contracting business. He relocated to San Diego, then to Golden, Colo., and returned to the San Diego area of Winchester where he began a long career as a professional tax accountant, forming endearing and long-term friendships with his small business client.
