Obituary Notice
David Lee Hinman, age 77, of Three Rivers, passed away peacefully at his home on February 27, 2026 surrounded by his loving family.
David was born on July 1, 1948 in Michigan City, IN, the son of the late Raymond and Lenora (Zebell) Hinman.
David (Dave) was raised in Three Oaks, Michigan, and graduated from Western Michigan University with a degree in Business. It was there he met the love of his life, Susan (Reichenbach) Hinman, whom he married on August 26, 1972. Dave was in the National Guard and began his career as an accountant with General Motors in Flint, MI. He and Sue moved their family to Three Rivers where he worked for Hydra-Matic, and later retired from American Axle in 2003 on his 55th birthday.
Dave was active in many sports throughout his life, baseball being his favorite. In his years after college he enjoyed playing racquetball and loved playing softball in different recreational leagues with his friends. Golf was a big part of Dave’s life and he could often be found at Pine View Golf Course enjoying a round with friends and family. His son was able to experience Dave’s hole-in-one at Pine View.
Dave’s true love was his family. Traveling was important to Dave and Sue. Their family has lots of fun memories in Florida, Yellowstone, and Northern Michigan. He never missed an after school event or sport his children participated in and most recently loved watching his grandchildren do the same. Dave and Sue enjoyed being snowbirds and taking their RV down south to Arizona and Florida. In his retirement years he stayed competitive by playing pickleball. Dave had a vibrant spirit and a great sense of humor which will be missed by all who knew him.
Remaining to cherish his memory are his wife Susan Hinman, daughters Kelly (Chad) Hinkley and Jodie (Brad) Glessner, son Matthew (Danielle) Hinman, brother Jerry (Maria Jackson) Hinman, and grandchildren Alyssa, Madi, Michael, Brynn and Myla, as well as many nieces, nephews, and long time friends.
