The Fall 2012 recipient of the Horicon Phoenix Award is a true embodiment of the essence and spirit of the Phoenix in many ways. We are very pleased to present David Katsma with our latest award.
David has been a resource for those addicted and struggling with dependency, working to help them rebuild their lives through his mission at Marshview Ministries Church in Horicon.
At the same time, David was hard at work coordinating efforts with the Horicon Phoenix Program and City of Horicon to build the new disc golf course in Riverbend Park.
A common theme throughout all of David’s work is rebirth and renewal, both in a personal sense and in his community. While David was keeping his Church mission going, building the disc golf course for our town, and being a father and husband, he was diagnosed with a rare form of cancer. Throughout last year with the support of his family, friends and his faith, he battled and beat the cancer with a grace and dignity that was nothing short of inspirational.
David is a selfless contributor to his neighbors and community, and someone we are proud to call friend. Please join us in celebrating this award with David. — with Melissa Keenan, David Katsma, Daniel Buchner, Tammy Wiard-Baltzley and Kathryn Knop.
