David LaPotin Death:One of our best buddies, David LaPotin, passed away this morning. He became a best buddy, like a brother, to both John and me.
A Kind and Compassionate Mentor
David was a kind, compassionate, loving, and intelligent man who also mentored students. He played a significant role in our community, impacting many lives through his guidance and support.
Dedication to Education
David sat on our Driven to Care Selection Committee and interviewed our Texas scholarship candidates. His dedication to education and helping young people achieve their dreams was a testament to his generous spirit.
Passion for Vintage Cars
He loved working on his vintage Porsches. After John passed, I was fortunate enough to have David as my copilot and navigator on a few rallies. His passion for classic cars brought joy to many, including himself.
Reunited in Heaven
I hope John was waiting for him so that they can drive Heaven’s roads together. The thought of them reunited brings a sense of peace and comfort.
Peaceful Passing
David passed away peacefully from melanoma brain metastasis only seven months after diagnosis. His strength and bravery during this time were truly inspiring.
A Health Reminder
I want to share his story to encourage everyone to wear hats and sunscreen to avoid this happening to you. The sun’s rays have an accumulating effect and show up years later. Protecting your skin is crucial.
Farewell to a Dear Friend
Rest in peace, David LaPotin. Your memory will live on in our hearts, and your legacy of kindness and passion will continue to inspire us all.
