David Thomas Loofbourrow II passed in peace at the age of 81 on March 23, 2020
He was born on June 3 1938 and grew up in Oakland before moving to Lafayette. He graduated from a Acalanes high school, San Francisco State and Golden Gate university school of Law. He was a founding partner of Lynch, Loofbourrow, Gilardi and Grummer.
Before graduating from SFSU he served in the Marine Corps at Camp Pendleton.
David lived his life to the fullest. His passion for his English heritage led him to spend the last 20 years in Devon England. He formed many strong bonds and lasting friendships and became a beloved member of the Biddeford community.
He was a member of St. Stevens church in Orinda as well as St. Helens in Northam, England.
He will be fondly remembered by family and friends as a loving father, distinguished attorney, avid outdoorsman, and proud patriot. His generosity, optimism and positive attitude had a tremendous impact on those around him.
David joined his distant Loofbourrow cousins at a 2016 family reunion in the Sacramento area. The 2 lines of Loofbourrows branched back in the 1840-1860 years when 2 brothers started their own families. David and Margie (Hockaday) Kinnamen had been in contact for several years and so it was wonderful for the 2 to actually meet in person, along with all of the other cousins that attended that reunion. David was very generous in sharing the family history of his grandfather and others in the family.
He will be deeply missed by his daughter Elizabeth (Orrin) Chrisman, son David (Tais) and grandchildren Ella and Benjamin Loofbourrow.
A memorial for David was held on 10/10/20 at 12 pm. To plant trees in memory, please visit the Sympathy Store.
