David "Buzz" Rodseth was born in Detroit Lakes, MN on July 23, 1939 to Roy and Peggy (Haagenson) Rodseth. He moved out west in 1946 and returned to Detroit Lakes in 1957 to attend his senior year in high school. Buzz married Brenda Bjornstad in 1960. He worked for and learned the machinist trade from his uncle, Marvin Haagenson. He returned to Spokane, WA in 1962 where he owned and operated an auto parts store, recreational businesses, and an automotive and engine manufacturing plant. He enjoyed racing anything with a motor, including snowmobiles – they were his passion. After Brenda passed away, Buzz married Bernadine in 1989. He retired in 1997 and they moved to Detroit Lakes where they built a new home and purchased Clem's Marina. They operated the marina for three years when Buzz's health forced him back into retirement. Buzz and Bernie moved back to Spokane in 2012. Buzz loved and is survived by his wife, Bernie, his daughters, Lori McCallister, Nikki (Don) Myers, his stepdaughter, Robin (Mike) Albrandt, stepson, Scott (Jan) Booth and brothers, Tom (Carol) Hermann and John Hermann, seven grandchildren, Cody McCallister, Taylor (Chandler) Shuff, Baynton Myers, Brendon Myers, Zach (Katie) Booth, Andrea Booth, and Molly (Justin) Hanson, one great-granddaughter, Kloe Booth and numerous nieces and nephews. He was preceded in death by his parents, his first wife, Brenda, and his sister, Patricia Ferrin. The family would like to thank Hospice and his nurse, Medina for the wonderful care and suggest that memorials be sent to Hospice of Spokane or the charity of their choice. Memorial services were held at St. Mark's Lutheran Church in Spokane on August 23. There will be a graveside service on Friday, September 27 at 2:00 PM at Oak Grove Cemetery in Detroit Lakes.
