David M. LaVeau, 60, passed away unexpectedly at his home in Knightsen on Feb 23. He was preceded in death by his mom Mary, father Henry (Mickey), and his two brothers Ray and Fred. He is survived by his son Phillip LaVeau (Denise) of Tustin; three nephews, Ray LaVeau of Concord and Paul and Joe LaVeau of Antioch. He leaves many cousins, uncles and friends who will miss him very much.

David had many passions in his life. The first was his love of his family and another was cooking. He worked as a chef in many of the local restaurants. Another passion was his love of music. He played with many local bands in the ’60s and ’70s. Dave was an accomplished drummer, guitarist and songwriter. Last but not least was his passion for football. He was a number-one fan of the St. Louis Rams, and never missed watching or cheering on his favorite team.

David attended local schools and graduated from Liberty Union High School. Memorial services are being planned for the near future. For information, call Phillip at 714-307-9777 or Linda at 925-250-5930. Services are being provided by Bay Area Cremation and Funeral Services of Brentwood.

Rest in peace, Dave, knowing how much you were loved and how much we will all miss you.
