David was born on December 15, 2007, a bright light to his parents and everyone who knew him. He was full of promise, laughter, and a spirit that made everyone around him feel special. David loved basketball and had an incredible future ahead of him — he was even offered early graduation from Pebblebrook High School in 2025, a testament to his hard work and determination.

Tragically, on September 13, 2025, David’s life was cut short in a violent and heartbreaking way, leaving our community shaken and his family devastated.

This fundraiser has been set up to help cover David’s funeral and burial expenses to ensure he is laid to rest with dignity and love, and any impending legal expenses as the family seeks justice for David.

No parent should ever have to face this kind of loss, and certainly not alone. Your donations, no matter the amount, will provide much-needed financial relief and allow David’s parents and sister to focus on grieving and healing.

We will share updates here as soon as we receive them, so you can follow along and continue to surround this family with love and support.

Thank you for standing with us to honor David’s memory, celebrate his life, and support his family through this tragedy.
