David R. Lefebvre

David Richard Lefebvre passed away at the age of 52 at his home in Austin, Texas on Tuesday, July 6, 2021. He was born on February 21, 1969 in Taipei, Taiwan to Richard and Geraldine while his father was serving in the United States Airforce. David is survived by his parents and younger brother, Nathan.

David grew up in Dallas and graduated from Jesuit College Preparatory School, which always held a special place in his memory. He received a Bachelor of Science in Chemical Engineering from the University of Texas at Austin in 1991. His career over the next 14 years focused on environmental engineering with consulting firms and the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ). David loved socializing with his friends as well as discussing and working on Mercedes Benz in his spare time.

On April 1, 2005, David was in an auto accident when returning to work at TCEQ. The accident left him with traumatic brain injury and recovery became the focus for the remainder of his life. David showed perseverance to tackle the challenges presented and confronted each obstacle with his smile and wit that people knew from years ago. Along his journey in life, there were many individuals that showed extraordinary help and compassion to David. His family would like to mention the nurses at Brackenridge hospital, his co-workers at TCEQ, his physical trainers, and his friends. David is loved and will be missed. He will leave a void in many people’s lives.

The family will receive visitors from 4:00 pm to 6:00 PM, with a Rosary Service to begin at 6:00 PM, on Thursday, July 15, 2021 at Cook-Walden North Lamar Funeral Home. A Graveside Service will be held at 11:00 AM on Friday, July 16, 2021 at Austin Memorial Park.
