David Lloyd Coddington, of Luck, Wisconsin, passed away on Oct. 7, 2026, at the age of 82.
David was born in Minneapolis, Minnesota, to Edna and Lloyd Coddington. With his arrival, their son Kern became a big brother.
David spent his early years in Minneapolis before returning with his family to the Luck area around 1950, following the death of his father. His great-grandparents were among the first homesteaders in Laketown Township, and David grew up along the Trade River on the family homestead.
David worked for most of his career as a machinist at Durex in Luck, manufacturing industrial wire cloth. He enjoyed old cars, early morning drives, a quick wit, and sharing his faith with others as one of Jehovah’s Witnesses.
David married Laura Lane in 1964 and had seven children and almost 28 years together. Laura passed away in 1991 after a battle with cancer.
In 1997 he married Lorna (Kennedy) and gained four stepchildren. They enjoyed nearly 25 years together which included many road trips during their retirement years. Lorna passed away in 2021 from COVID-19.
David was preceded in death by his parents; his brother; his first wife, Laura; his second wife, Lorna; and one nephew.
He is survived by his seven children, Jordan (Lonna), Amber (Mike) Hansen, Benjamin (Jennifer), Dana (Heather), Aubre, Douglas (Heidi), and Emeri Hagfors; his stepchildren, Andrew, Gordon, Gina Johnson, and Leah Steen; along with many grandchildren, great-grandchildren, nieces, nephew, and grand- nieces and nephew.
