Help Us Lay David Keseloff to Rest

It is with broken hearts that we share the passing of David Keseloff, who lost his battle with stage 4 lung cancer on Monday, January 5th, 2026, at the age of 66. David fought with incredible strength and grace since his diagnosis in March 2025, spending his final days in the care of hospice at City of Hope surrounded by friends and family.

Who David Was

David was one of the most generous, genuine, and warm-hearted people you could ever meet. He had a gift for making friends wherever he went - whether at a live music venue supporting local bands, grabbing a drink with friends, or watching his beloved Dolphins game. Music was his passion, and he loved discovering new artists and following them on their journeys.

More than anything, David made people feel seen and heard. He checked in on others, welcomed everyone with open arms, and gave freely of his time, his kindness, and his heart. He touched countless lives with his warmth and generosity.

Why We're Asking for Help

We are raising funds to cover David's burial arrangements. The total cost is $12,000, which will cover his viewing, burial, and associated expenses.

Service Details:

Viewing: January 13th, 8-10am at White Merson Mortuary (13304 Philadelphia Street, Whittier, CA)

Burial: 10:00am, Russian Molokan Cemetery (7201 E Slauson Ave Commerce, CA 90040)

Please wear white, not black, clothes to the service.

David gave so much to so many people throughout his life. As we navigate this devastating loss and work to give him the dignified farewell he deserves, any contribution - large or small - would mean the world to his family.

Thank you for honoring David's memory and for your support during this difficult time.
