Mr. Hershberger was born Feb. 23, 1944, in Dover, eldest of 12 children of the late Jonas and Lydia Miller Hershberger.
He was a truck driver, and drove for several companies on the Eastern Shore. He also owned his own trucking company, Hershberger and Sons.
He was a fan of country music and of all things trucking.
Mr. Hershberger was a member of the Maranatha Fellowship Church of Dover.
He was preceded in death by his companion of 35 years, Kay Biddle; and a son, David J. Hershberger Jr.
He is survived by his estranged wife, Sarah Hershberger of Middlefield, Ohio; a stepson, Walter "Eddie" Biddle of Dover; two daughters, Rachel Yoder and Ada Erb, both of Middlefield; a stepdaughter, Stella Biddle of Dover; eight brothers, Sam Hershberger, Atlee Hershberger, Lester Hershberger, Jonas Hershberger Jr., Menno Hershberger, Alvin Hershberger, Melvin Hershberger and Kelvin Hershberger; three sisters, Anna Bontrager, Rosa Mast and Esther Yoder; 19 grandchildren; and two lifelong friends, Jerry Durham and Larry Whitt.
