David, you will be missed deeply. I graduated with your older brother in high school back in 1988. I vividly remember you and your entire family. I am very heart broken to have discovered your passing today. I will pray for your entire family. You were a teacher at my grandson's school, Tunnel School. You will be sorely missed by many. The world will not be the same. Love you.

The passing of David is an immense loss for all that knew him. I had the privilege of working with David as the Principal of Tunnell School for three years beginning in 2004. His passion for teaching was obvious to see for all staff, students and parents. He gave to the youth of the community, not just Tunnell. He will be missed and my condolences to his family and all that love David.

I had the honor of teaching 4th grade with Dave at Tunnel for several years. He was such a dearly loved colleague, and beloved teacher. Many giggles and stories shared in the business of kids and teaching. When I moved to Lucia Mar, Dave made it a point to reach out to me every year for TEN YEARS , to volunteer and come doba magic show for my students every year. I'm truly blessed, honored, and fortunate to know such a generous and kind hearted friend.

Mr. Dubransky was my 4th grade teacher. I´m 28 now, and he still is one of the best parts of my childhood. My memories in that classroom follow me everywhere I go and bring me joy. I´ll always remember Wally Pickles 2.0 and the day he brought in caviar for all of us to try. He is the best teacher of all time and will live in my heart forever.

I knew him as Mr. Dubransky. He was my 4th grade teacher and one of my favorite teachers of all time. I'm 29 now and will never forget the impression he made on me as well as all of my classmates. He always made us die of laughter and did magic tricks for the kids. Truly one of the coolest guys in Heaven now. God bless him.

David was a great Photographer ... I enjoyed our "did you get that picture" moments on the football field. I considered him as a coworker capturing those aha moments in sports.

I remember when David/Doobie worked at Ontiveros school. He was very young and very excited to be teaching. He was always happy. I was sad when he moved to another school. He is one of my favorite memories from my years in teaching.

I worked with David at Kids Camp for several years. He was an amazing man, person, photographer and teacher who loved Jesus! Each school year he would post funny sayings, drawings etc from his elementary school classes. Most of them making you laugh until your sides hurt! Thank You Jesus for being with David´s family and friends as they grieve. Hold them ever close Holy Spirit. In Jesus´ Holy Amazing Name! Amen and amen!

When David was in the 4th - 6th grades, he was in the Santa Maria Honor Choir. He was also in my GATE classes. He was a very kind, sweet boy.

A truly wonderful person who always thought of others first. He was way too young to pass when he had so much more to give.

We are devastated to hear that the world has lost one of its kindest soul´s. But heaven was eagerly awaiting his arrival and needed only him for their newest angel. He served so many while in this life, and God expects the same in his new location. Helping others with a gentle push will be just what his angelic job will require.
I babysat David from age 2 to 7. He was a beautiful child with brown ringlets of hair and an ever present smile of his face. He grew into a handsome man with that same smile on his face. He gave so much to so many, and he will be missed.
Sending our love and condolences to all of the DuBransky family.
