Andy CloseDavid Eugene Turner, 74, of Pittsfield, Pa, passed away on Monday, December 14, 2020 at Warren General Hospital.
He was born on November 4, 1946, in Warren, Pa, a son to the late Omer Eugene and Violet (Payne) Turner. Dave was a 1964 graduate of Youngsville High School and then went on to serve in the US Marine Corp from 1966-1967 during the Vietnam War where he was wounded. He was the owner of Turner Enterprises and co-owner of Stateline Speedway. He was president of the board at Warren Electric Cooperative and a board member of the Allegheny Electric Cooperative, a past member of PREA, a charter member of Warren Aviation Club and a member of the Republican Party. Dave was also a Pittsfield Twp. Supervisor and an avid supporter of the Warren County Fair.
