David Lawrence Seifert

David L. Seifert was born in Berkeley, Calif., on September 24, 1944. He left our world on October 19, 2026, at the age of 82, after a long battle with Alzheimer’s disease. He passed peacefully at home.

David was a kind soul with a sweet, endearing smile. He was an amazing and talented man who lived an active life filled with accomplishments and adventure. For more than 40 years, he called South Lake Tahoe, Calif., home, where he owned and operated a real estate appraisal business. He was loved by his employees, who considered him the “World’s Best Boss.” Deeply involved in his community, David served as president and longtime member of the Rotary Club, as well as president and active member of Ducks Unlimited. He was also proud of earning his pilot’s license and owning a small Cessna in Lake Tahoe.

David excelled at water and snow skiing, golf, fly fishing, crafts and wood carving. An exceptional athlete, he was a triathlete in his younger years and an avid hunter. After playing soccer and graduating from Chico State University, David went on to compete in the 1966 Western Regional Soccer Trials for the U.S. Olympic Team.

David and his wife, Victoria (Tori), met in 2001 and married on the shores of Lake Tahoe in May 2003. Together, they enjoyed boating, water skiing, golfing, traveling and snow skiing. They especially cherished evenings spent in their hot tub, enjoying conversation beneath the beautiful, star-filled Tahoe sky. Many summers were spent with family and friends at their rural cabin in Philbrook, Northern California.

In 2019, David and Tori retired to the warmer climate of Sun City, Ariz., where they found a new community of wonderful and caring friends.

David was preceded in death by his son, Scott Seifert. He is survived by his loving wife, Victoria (Tori); stepchildren Daniel Wilsey and Kristin Mick; grandsons Colin and Gavin Mick; sisters Barbara Cotter and Kathie Lockwood; brother-in-law Cam; sisters-in-law Donna Garratt and Ginger Montgomery; and several nieces and nephews.

David will be missed by all who knew and loved him, but he will never be forgotten.
