One of five siblings, five bright points on a shining star, one point has now faded. David, born March 5, 1954, was a graduate of Shawnee Mission East High School and the University of Arizona. He returned home after graduation to follow in the footsteps of his father, Harold Pener, who was the founder of the family’s retail business. When his father passed away in 2004, David became the co-owner of Harold Pener Man of Fashion along with his brother, Barry Pener. David loved his work and was a mentor and friend to all of his colleagues.
David was a rare and wonderful person who was kind to all. He was a gentleman of great integrity and he was devoted to his friends and family.
