David George Orbits
It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of David George Orbits. David passed away suddenly at home on January 26th at the age of 28. He was the beloved son of David A. and Jo D. Orbits. He is survived by his sister Erin Orbits, Grandfather George C. Orbits, Grandmother Ida Kingston, six aunts, five uncles, and 18 cousins.
He excelled at weight lifting and enjoyed sports, over the years he played football, baseball, basketball, soccer, lacrosse, and golf. His other favorite hobbies included paintball, skateboarding, playing video games (Halo was a favorite), listening to music, and watching movies. David loved animals, especially his beloved dog Tasha, enjoyed spending time with friends, and was an enthusiastic motorcyclist.
David graduated from Overlake High School in 2002 and graduated from Seattle University with a degree in computer science in 2008. In the last six months, he and his Dad were developing an iPhone app designed to assist teachers and coaches: the app is nearly complete.

I’m so saddened to hear this. My deepest condolences for your loss. I will forever cherish the memories of my Class of 2002 classmate. RIP my friend.
Dear David and family,

Dear Jody,Dave and Erin,
Our thoughts and prayers are with you during this difficult time. We are so sorry for your loss.
My thoughts and prayers are with you all. I will always remember Dave from high school–such a funny, lovable, and genuine soul.
I’m sorry that I didn’t know David. But I know his Dad, a prince of a man, and I’m sure that David is like him. My deepest condolences to the whole family. You all are in my prayers.
Dave’s dry sense of humor and bellowing laugh will be missed. He had a really good heart and was always quick to smile. He made homeroom worth coming to just to hear his comments and wit. I’m sorry for this tragic loss and I know Dave is in a better place. God Bless.
I hold such great memories of David from all of our days in school together. Our group walks home from Sunrise, sneaking out in Jr. High with all us neighborhood kids, bus rides and carpools…no matter the setting David always made me (and an entire crowd) laugh. I have the BEST memories of him (and my first real “crush” growing up!) Thoughts and prayers are with you Jody, Dave and Erin. Such an unfair loss…
My thoughts and prayers are with your family in this time of sadness. I pray that God will help and comfort you now and that you find new strength with each tomorrow. With heartfelt sympathy, Lily Sprow

Roger and I are profoundly sorry for your loss. You are in our thoughts and prayers, and we wish you comfort.
I remember all the wonderful and funny stories you shared with me about your son. What a joy to have this person in your life. My thoughts and prayers are with you.
Our heartfelt sympathy for your loss. Your family is in our prayers and thoughts.
David, I’m deeply saddened for your tragic loss. I hope the gathering of relations and friends will provide a measure of comfort.
There are no words. Only feelings that cannot be expressed. With fond memories of our time together in beautiful Langtree.

David and Jody, I am so sorry. I remember his smile and good, gentle nature… his sparkling eyes. May the thoughts of anguish grow fewer in number, and the remembrances of good times and love overcome this great sorrow. God bless you.
