He was born on November 12, 1952, in Kansas City, Missouri, to Edward and JoAnn Egan. David graduated from Rockhurst High School in 1971, from the University of Missouri, Columbia in 1975 and was a member of the Phi Delta Theta Fraternity.  David attained his Ph.D. in Clinical Psychology at Bowling Green University. He then moved to Ann Arbor, Michigan.  Fondly known as “Doctor Dave,” he was in private practice throughout his career, working with children and adults.  David met his beautiful wife, Vickie, in Ann Arbor. They married on June 24, 1988, and moved to Shawnee the following year.  Together they shared 37 wonderful years of marriage.  On August 2, 1998, David became a dad to Natalie, his pride and joy.  He was a very dedicated and loving father; being the best dad possible for his daughter was a focus of his every day. David was known for his generous heart, quick wit and unwavering integrity. He was an avid seeker of knowledge, a sports enthusiast and a man who reached out to many, always trying to make a difference.
