RABUCK, DAVE & ELLEN

From Ellen

Dave passed away on December 17, 2024 after a battle with cancer. His wife was by his side and he passed peacefully. They were married for 49 years. They raised 2 children and were blessed by grandchildren and great grandchildren. Although Dave did many things in his life, his true calling was ministry. He served several rural churches in Wisconsin and served as a Clergy couple with his wife for United marriage encounter. Dave loved people and always had a warm smile and encouragement for them. He is survived by his wife Ellen, his daughter Karen (Rainey) Wynn, grandchildren, inlaws, nieces and nephews and many friends. He was preceded in death by his parents, grandparents and his son Brian Rabuck.

He will be deeply missed by family, friends and all who knew him. His legacy of faith in Jesus, serve to others, hard work and love for his family will live on in the hearts of those fortunate enough to have shared his life. 

Steve & Pam Chapman

 UME mourns the loss of Dave Rabuck.  The Rabucks have been a part of the UME family since 2001.  Dave and Ellen served as a Clergy team couple, International Board Member, Executive Clergy Couple, and blessed many special events with their humor and love for the ministry. Their Weekend talks were amazing; we know they made a difference in many couples' lives. Pam and I will be contributing to the Tribute fund under their name to ensure couples continue to be blessed by Dave Rabuck for generations to come.
