David J. Bakeman, 45, of Chippewa Falls, died Thursday, October 10, 2013 at the University Hospital in Minneapolis.

He was born September 29, 1968 in Chippewa Falls to Katherine (Smoot) and Larry Bakeman. He grew up in Eau Claire and graduated from Memorial High School in 1986. During high school he was on the wrestling and football teams. He had survived epilepsy since being diagnosed in the third grade.

David enjoyed watching wrestling. He loved gardening, being outside, watching movies and playing cards. He will be remembered for his wonderful laugh and big sense of humor.
