David Timothy Flair, Jr., known as “Stresscase,” was born on September 5, 1982, in Long Beach, California. Early on, he and his mother Tina moved to Seattle to be closer to her Uncle Don and his sons, Zack and Abe. In 1986, David was introduced to his step-father Brian, and became an older brother to Jamie and Gabe over the next few years. Behavioral challenges, defiance, and introduction to substance abuse led to David leaving home to live with other relatives as he approached adulthood.

While he gained more independence and responsibilities, Stress met Mona while working at a Buzz Inn. They hit it off and never looked back. Stress took on the role of father to her son, Ezra. He loved this family more than all, and did everything he could to do right by them. Stress and Mona faced a lot of battles, but they stayed together through everything.

Recently, Stress and Mona reunited with his biological father, David Sr., and accepted an opportunity to start over in Ritzville with stable housing, transportation, and income. Although he still struggled with addiction, Stress worked hard to provide for Mona in sickness the best ways he knew how. They had each other, their dogs, and a place to live- things were looking better.

Stress unexpectedly passed away on the night of November 17, 2025, rejoining his mother Tina in death. He leaves behind his wife, Lamona; his son, Ezra; his father, David Sr.; his siblings, Jamie and Gabriel; and numerous family members who helped raise him over the years: his step-father Brian, his great-uncle Don, his cousins Zachariah and Abraham, and all of their families through marriage and birth.

Stresscase will be remembered for his love of family, his sense of humor, and his kindness toward animals. He is deeply missed in his role as a husband, father, son, brother, nephew, and cousin.
