David Miesse
MIESSE
David Lee Miesse of Grove City, Ohio went to be with the Lord at the age of 72 on May 2, 2007 at Riverside Methodist Hospital, Columbus, Ohio.
David was a most colorful character, full of life, intelligence and had a love for animals. He was born April 27, 1935 to the late Beryl and Bernice Miesse of Columbus, Ohio. As a teenager, he attended South High School and was a Columbus Golden Gloves Champion. In his early adult years, he used his natural knowledge of electrical engineering to work on projects where he invented multiple electrical pneumatic devices to solve problems for companies. Being a jack of all trades, he could build and repair anything, as he did daily on his family farm in Grove City where he raised his children. During his 45 year career in Thoroughbred horse racing, he was a leading Thoroughbred horse trainer for Ohio. He raced his horses at River Downs, Beulah Park, Mountaineer Park, Keenland, Churchill Downs, Turfway Park, Aqueduct, and Thistledowns. During this time, he was president of the HBPA Horseman's Association and was instrumental in the passing of the Ohio Horse Racing Simulcast Law.
As a young father, he and his children grew up together on their farm. They ran a riding stable and had hayrides for local youth and church groups for many years. Throughout his life on the farm, he continually added an assortment of animals to his full stable of horses, including any stray animal that needed a home. Over the years, he also built several ponds for his special love of birds, and an indoor training barn with a guest house, among other projects.
David is survived and loved by his four adult children: Terri Marsh of Georgia, Kathy Miesse of Columbus, David (Deidre) Miesse II of North Carolina, and Cindy Miesse (Bob Cowgill) of Grove City, and the children's mother Jean Schram. He is also survived by his loving six grandchildren Jenn (Gary) Beggrow, Wendy (Jon) Hoch, David III, Joseph, Ariana and Marena Miesse. Dave is also remembered by special people from his life, former step-daughter Peggy Hylton and long time friends, Karen Hunley-Pifher, Bill Edwards, Sherry Kanney and Billy Atchison.
The family would like to invite friends to come to the celebration of Dave Miesse's life at the family farm 2007 Holton Rd. Grove City, Ohio on Friday, May 4th from 6-8:00 PM.
Memorial contributions may be made to the HBPA Health Fund at 3684 Park St., Grove City, Ohio 43123, phone 614-875-1269. Arrangements entrusted to Newcomer Funeral Home, Southwest Chapel. Messages of condolence may be left at www.NewcomerFamily.com
