David Lee Mirenic, Jr., 50, of Crystal Lake, was born April 17, 1965 in Charleston, SC to David Lee, Sr. and Linda K. (nee Grantham) Mirenic. He passed away peacefully on Tuesday, December 22, 2015 in Woodstock. David grew up as a “military brat;” moving to many different places throughout his childhood, which was something that he greatly appreciated later in life. His family settled in Crystal Lake in 1981, where he became a graduate of Crystal Lake South High School. David was described as marching to the beat of his own drum. His loves included roller coasters, horror movies and video games. He will be dearly missed by his parents; his sister, LeAnn (Scott) Osborne; his nephews, Kyle Benson and Cameron Geisser; his best friend, Tom Clyne; and many aunts, uncles and cousins. A celebration of David’s life will be held at a future date in Arizona.
