Born in Bellaire, Ohio to the late "Ike" Henry Isaac Hess and Beverly Ann Makofsky Hess. Also preceded in death by his Brother and Son who both share the name David William Hess. He is survived by 3 Brothers Ronald, Marvin and Alan Hess and their dear Sister Karen Hess Coen.

He was the beloved Husband of Sandra Gillespie Hess for nearly 45 years, and the best Father to Kimberly Hess Niederhuber who will always treasure the time they spent together. His Son-in-Law, Erik Niederhuber, and Grandchildren, Tiden Hess, Abigail and Andrew Niederhuber all agree he was a very remarkable spiritual man, a positive influence and always encouraging. Tiden was especially close to him and feels his Pap was a loving caring friend and a father to him.

Truly a friend to all he met. He will be deeply missed by all who knew him well. Some called him Brother, some Larry or Uncle Larry, others Pap or Dad. However, for 50 years the role he served above all else was to be a Witness of Jehovah God. He firmly believed nothing could separate him from God's love, not even death. (Romans 8:38&39)
