Our beloved husband, father, grandfather, brother, and friend David Hengst passed away on May 22, 2023, in the presence of his children and wife of 31 years, Debbie. “Junior” as he was known to many was born in Austin on Nov. 25, 1952, grew up in Eagle Lake with his parents and three sisters, and spent time with his grandparents in Plum. David’s career with Tenneco Oil took him to various towns in Texas and New Mexico before he and his first wife Pam moved back to Eagle Lake with their three young children - Dustin, Dean, and Joy. Years later, David married Debbie, gained another son, Ethan, and they ultimately settled in Cat Spring. In the 1980s, he purchased Austin Amusements and proceeded to drive countless miles through Southeast Texas listening to George Strait, Gary Stewart, the Bee Gees, and the Eagles, while turning the business into a success before retiring in 2016.
