David Alvin Amunrud, 79, of Clyde Park MT passed away April 18, 2025 at home with his family.

David was born April 22, 1945 in Spring Grove, MN to Alvin and Mina (Hermanson) Amunrud. He moved with his parents to Livingston Mt in 1959 to be closer to his older siblings.

David wore many hats during his working years, from his time at the Conoco to BN railroad, propane delivery for V1 to working for the Park County Road Department. During the RR days, the family moved to Iowa for 2 years, making cherished memories and lifelong friends. David truly enjoyed his work and made friends, no matter which job he was working. He enjoyed traveling through his work at LRC where he started the engine rebuild shop and power assembly rebuild.

David was a member of the Clyde Park city volunteer fire department for over 30 years, acting as assistant chief under John Milloway. David and John were responsible for bringing the first fire truck to the community.
