He was born September 28, 1957 in Columbus, Ohio, the son of the late Loren and Hedy (Sheilds) Caborn. David was one of the founding partners of the Caborn and Butauski Law Firm in 2001. He will be dearly missed by his wife, Leslie (Thorpe Sacks) Caborn; son, Joseph Caborn and daughter, Lucy Caborn.

He was listed in "Best Lawyers in America" as one of the top lawyers in the state of Ohio for construction law and was a Board member of the Ohio Builders Association. He was a member of the OSBA, CBA and ABA and was named to the Columbus Bar Foundation. While David loved practicing law, above all, he was devoted to his family and his love for them was infinite. In the words of his son Joe, "He was my hero, my role model, and my family's rock. Though I'm utterly devastated by this loss, I take comfort in knowing that he is no longer in pain, that his energy is still very much present within the universe, and that the love he gave all of us will be eternally reciprocated by God."
