David J. Muehl, 56, formerly of Milwaukee, Wisconsin, passed away of undetermined causes December 31, 2022 in Arizona. David served 13 years in three different branches of the U.S. military and then proudly retired after 25 years of distinguished service from the Milwaukee Police Department having achieved Sergeant. Some of the positions held during his time with MPD included Harbor Patrol, Motor Unit, and then completing his law enforcement career with the MPD Intelligence Fusion Center as a Supervisor. After retiring to Westbrook Village in Peoria, Arizona in 2018, David continued to serve as an Ambassador at the Delta Air Lines’ Sky Club in Phoenix, Arizona, a job he took great pride in which also afforded him the opportunity to travel at will. His precision and attention to detail brought accolades from guests and peers a like. He relished the freedom of retirement - exploring all areas of the southwest, advancing his photography skills, frequenting car and air shows across the region, hiking the many recreational areas, enjoying trips to Mexico, doing home improvement projects and obsessing over keeping his pool in the desert meticulously clean. Regretfully, his time was cut short. He will deeply be missed by family, friends, and all the people who loved him. We will remember David for his loyalty, kindness, and generosity especially towards the ones who had the privilege to be chosen to be part of his life. Rest in peace, dear David.

Dave was a great man loved by all his academy classmates (2-1993). Loyalty was one of his many qualities along with his competence and will to help those around him. His leadership and ability to mentor those around him will be missed. I’m sure the Lord has a place for him and he will do just fine:)

Dave was a wonderful man with a big heart and a big smile. It was a privilege knowing him, if even for a short time. We shared a lot of talks and a lot of laughs in our times working together. He had a way of touching the lives of those around him. Gone but not forgotten. RIP, “Davy Wavy”.

He worked for me in the old Patrol Support Division as a Sergeant. He was an awesome gentleman and friend.

Dave’s passing came as a surprise to me and many others. Those of us who knew him very likely have nothing but wonderful things to say about him. I know that I will greatly miss his seemingly endless optimism along with his common-sense approach to the “job,” his laugh and the straightforward advice he provided. RIP, Dave…
This makes me very sad, I worked with Dave for a few years at MPD and looked forward to chatting every morning on our early morning shifts together. He was kind and funny, always ready with an amusing story and his contagious laugh!

Dave was full of professional knowledge and expertise which he unselfishly shared to make us better law enforcement officers. He was so happy and humble when he retired and also very excited to move on to another career. Very sad.
