David E Lantz

June 19, 1954 — November 21, 2022

     David E. Lantz, 68, of Clayton, (formerly of Camp Point) died at 7:26 p.m. Monday, November 21, 2022, at his home.
     Born June 19, 1954, in Rushville, David was the son of Joseph and Virginia Briggs Lantz. He married Debra J. West on June 10, 1978, at Siloam Springs State Park. She survives.

     He had been a member of the Illinois Police Association, Clayton Lions Club, and both the Clayton and Camp Point Fire Departments.  David enjoyed hunting, boating, fishing, and camping, but his great joy came from time spent with his family.
