David Ross Houtz, aged 72, entered into the presence of the Lord in the early morning hours of Friday, September 12, 2025.

David was born on March 25, 1953, in Havre, MT to Earl and Marie Houtz. His family later moved to Great Falls, MT where he graduated from C.M. Russell High School in 1971.

In 1974, David married his loving wife of 51 years, Lucille Bruch. He proposed after a short courtship and truly adored Luci his whole life. Together they welcomed three children, Anthony in 1976, Timothy in 1979, and Tina in 1982. Dave loved to make Luci laugh and was a true romantic, setting the bar pretty high for his children.

He spent the majority of his career as the Operations Manager of Big Sky Bus Lines and retired as the Transportation Supervisor for the Great Falls Public Schools.
