David Winn Hackett, 69, of Adrian, Michigan, went peacefully into the loving arms of his Lord and Savior Jesus Christ at his home on Wednesday, April 21, 2021. He was born in Garden City, Michigan, to Winn and Mary (Johnson) Hackett on December 9, 1951. David’s family moved to Onsted, Michigan, when he was a child. He attended Onsted Schools, and graduated in 1970. He was a member of the school band and served as Onsted High School marching band drum major. He also worked at different jobs throughout his high school years. After high school he attended an IT (tech) college in Ohio for computer programming and technical computer science. David loved the Lord with all of his heart. He grew up attending church with his family at Onsted Baptist Church, and was a member for over 25 years. He was raised in a musical family, singing and playing songs of praise and sharing God’s love. The Hackett family traveled throughout Lenawee County and surrounding areas spreading the Gospel of Jesus Christ and sharing God’s promise of eternal life through their music and personal testimony. David sang baritone in men’s quartet, and enjoyed listening to men's quartets, especially men’s acappella groups. David attended Crossroads Community church in Adrian for the past several years with his children and granddaughters. David married in 1978 and is survived by his former wife, Kimberly (Dopp) Bennett and their children Melissa and Jonathan.

He especially enjoyed doing things together with his son Jonathan, including riding motorcycles, attending car and monster truck shows, Oakshade racing, and working on mechanical and technical hands- on projects. David always looked forward to weekly family meals and game night with his daughter and son and granddaughters. He also enjoyed visits with his six siblings, two brothers and four sisters, and their families. Besides David’s love of God, his family, and playing his piano and organ, he enjoyed many other things, including: dominos, cards, games, camping, swimming, motorcycling, restoring and driving classic cars, science, mechanical and technical hands-on projects, picnics by the lake, bonfires with hot dogs, smores, stories and singing.
