David Lifton

The story

Celebration of Life Details TBD

Dear friends and family thank you so much for all your heartfelt messages, your gifts of food and friendship, all of the beautiful flowers. I wanted to share this because of David's love of KBOO. Please if you want to honor his memory, in lieu of flowers send a donation to KBOO, Friends of the Gorge, Rethinking Schools or a cause or non-profit of your choice. This is what David would want. I didn't want to post anything yet because I didn't want it to be true that he was gone, but this is the harsh reality and my sadness engulfs me once more as I write this. I am forever grateful to everyone who has shown us kindness and friendship. Be present, be kind, be grateful to those you love.

  My sincerest condolences to you and your family. I knew David through political work and teaching. I know what it's like to lose a beloved spouse too soon. --Natasha Beck
