Dave Botruff

Embalmer and Cremationist- Emeritus

Dave Botruff received his degree in Mortuary Science from Southern Illinois University in 1981. He has been a skilled and compassionate funeral director, embalmer and cremationist for well over 30 years.

Always ready to serve, David was a multi-year member of the Rock Island County Coroner’s Disaster Response Team in Illinois and also an active member of the Funeral Director’s Association. 

Additionally, David has served in the Lions Club and volunteered with the Salvation Army during the Holiday Season. He is especially proud of the time he spent working with persons with developmental disabilities at the Grand Junction Regional Center.

Above all, David credits his close-knit family as the key to his success. He is dedicated to his wife of 41 years, 5 wonderful children, 13 amazing grandkids and 2 delightful great-grandchildren.

We are happy to have David at Brown’s Care Center, where he oversees the crematory, embalming facility and refrigerated care unit.
