David Warren Rinard, 63, of Wooster died on Saturday, August 1, 2026, at his home.

He is survived by his son Zach Rinard of Wooster; step daughter Megan (Chad) Welling of Columbus; sister Shelly Rinard of Wooster; brother Butch Rinard of Florida; Zach’s mother Nikki Flinn of Wooster.

David was preceded in death by his parents and his canine companions John and Marley.
