David B. Endres, 76, died Saturday, August 13, 2011 at his Brownsburg, Indiana home with family members present. Dave was born in 1935 in Lebanon to the late Leonard C. and D. Mary (King) Endres. He was a Speedway High School graduate; he retired from a 35 year career with Union Carbide (now Praxair) as a Coating Services Process Analyst. Dave was a Quarter Horse owner his entire life, an approved horse show judge for 50 years, a farrier for 30 years, and served as Indiana State Fair 4-H Horse & Pony Show ring steward. Among numerous equine organizations, he had been a long-time member of the American Quarter Horse Association. Dave's riding lesson program helped produce multiple top show ring competitors, but he may have been best known for his kind-hearted generous nature and sense of humor. Dave married his childhood sweetheart in 1958, Robbylou (Gray) Endres, who survives him. Other survivors include his three children, Debra Jo Endres-Ard (Jay); Edward D. Endres (Penny); Amanda L. Endres-Becerra; his two grandchildren, Lindsay R. Endres and Lyle D. Endres; a brother, L. Gerald Endres (Joyce); and a sister, Mary Helen (Endres) Shea. His in-laws, Robert S. and Edna I. (Clark) Gray preceded him in death.
