David LeRoy Wedel, 54, of Glendive died Nov. 11, 2025. He was born Nov. 25, 1970, in Minneapolis, Minn., to Ben and Beverly (Johnson) Wedel. He spent his first three years in Minnesota until his family moved back to Lustre to run the family farm. His life was shaken up in the best possible way when his little sister, Terri, arrived when he was four years old. They shared a special closeness, full of laughter, teasing and deep affection. He attended Lustre Elementary School and graduated from Lustre High School in 1989. He attended Montana State University in Bozeman, where he earned his degree in mechanical engineering. He often joked that it only took him 10 years to finish college because he learned just as much about snowboarding, mountain biking and all that Bozeman had to offer as he did about mechanical engineering. Before leaving Bozeman, he purchased his first motorcycle, a Suzuki sport bike. Although his relationship with this bike was complicated, it was the beginning of his lifelong love affair with motorcycles and motorcycle riding. After graduating from college, he moved to Glendive, where he began his career with Williston Basin Interstate Pipeline Company. He worked there as a maintenance supervisor in compressor engineering until the time of his death. He was deeply involved with his church, Community Bible, where he taught Sunday school and served on the music and sound teams. He organized and led Eastern Montana Bible Camp’s annual motorcycle
