Obituaries
David Melvin Ackerman, 65, went to be with the Lord on March 9, 2021 following a year-long battle with brain cancer.
He was born in North Platte on April 15, 1955, a fitting date for one who became a tax accountant. The first of five children, David graduated from North Platte Senior High in 1973, attended community college in North Platte and graduated Hasting College in 1978.
David ventured to Eugene, Ore. where he opened an energy contracting business. He relocated to San Diego, then to Golden, Colo., and returned to the San Diego area of Winchester where he began a long career as a professional tax accountant, forming endearing and long-term friendships with his small business client.

One of the most outstanding individual scoring performances in Nebraska Cornhuskers’ basketball history was not enough to overcome a hefty rebounding disadvantage, another rash of turnovers, and a flurry of 3-pointers as Penn State (8-12 overall, 5-12 B1G) defeated Nebraska (5-16, 1-13) 86-83 at Pinnacle Bank Arena Tuesday night.
Despite playing on the losing side, junior guard Teddy Allen played the game of his college career, setting multiple school records in the process:
41 points, tying Aleks Maric for the most ever for a Husker in the regular season, just a point short of Eric Piatkowski’s school record 42 in a 1994 Big 8 tournament win over Oklahoma.
