David Brooks Browning III

at Kaiser Fontana Medical Center. David was born March 19, 1970 at Baylor Hospital in Dallas,

Texas. He was the first son of David Brooks Browning Jr. and Maria Teresina Silva Browning

(deceased). He is survived by his father, his brother Christopher Browning, his sister Felicia

Browning, his ex-wife Rosa Ronquillo, their children Joseph and Alonzo Browning, his niece

Linn Browning, his nephew Jack Browning and his fiancée Ilian Ontiveros.

David received a B.A. in Speech Communications from Baylor University in 1992, and an M.A.

in Educational Psychology from the University of Virginia in 1996. He began his career in

education at University High School where he taught Public Speaking from 1993 to 1995. He

moved to Los Angeles, CA in 1996. He was hired by LAUSD to teach 6th and 8th grade Math

and English at Pio Pico K-8 Span School where he met and soon thereafter married Rosa. They

moved to Rancho Cucamonga in 2000 where they were both hired as teachers in the Ontario-

Montclair School District. After one year, David realized that he missed teaching older

students and moved to what would be his permanent position as a teacher at Chino Hills High

School from 2002- 2020. While at CHHS David’s passion as an educator flourished. He taught

English, Study Skills, U.S. Government, Public Speaking, AP Government, and sophomore AVID

students. David was also involved in extracurricular activities, and at one point was the JV

Football coach and the Debate Coach. However, his involvement in AVID stood out and was

very rewarding to him both as a human being and a teacher.

His love for his profession and students was recognized on many occasions, but one he truly

valued was being selected as Most Inspirational Teacher by his students in 2012. David was

quick witted yet caring to all who knew him. His positive influence on the lives of others was

shown by the outpouring of support he received and the messages submitted by the many

people whose lives he touched via the David Browning Memorial and Scholarship Fund. He was

able to read many of those comments first hand before he passed and felt blessed that he was

able to express his eternal gratitude towards his friends and colleagues at Chino Hills High

School.

David accepted Christ as his Savior in the fourth grade. He had no fear of moving on because

he had placed his confidence in Jesus Christ.

His loving sons, Rosa, family, Ilian, close friends, and students will forever miss his optimism,

charm and radiant smile.
