David Allabastro Obituary

Published by Legacy Remembers on Feb. 22, 2024.

David J. Allabastro, age 63 of Wadsworth, Illinois, formerly of Lake Forest, Illinois passed away suddenly at home, on February 12, 2024. He was the beloved husband of Maryellen (nee Larson) Allabastro, cherished brother of Brian Allabastro and adored uncle of Abigail Allabastro. David was preceeded in death by his parents, Robert Allabastro and Maryann (nee Lynch) Allabastro.

David attended Lake Forest Academy and Spring Hill College. He most recently was owner and operator of US Jet Corp.

"Mr. BMW", David, will be remembered for his laughter, kindness, and love for his family and friends, and could always be counted on in difficult times. His love and devotion to his wife Maryellen, could only be matched by his love for his two German Shepherds, Winter and Maisy Jane. He had a passion for BMWs and his pride and joy was his 2003 BMW M3.

A Memorial Mass to honor and remember David will be held at The Church of St. Mary, 175 E. Illinois Rd, Lake Forest, IL 60045, on March 9th, 2024, at 10 AM, followed by a reception.

In lieu of flowers, contributions can be made to the Rheumatoid Arthritis Foundation or Help Fight RA Inc.

Rest in peace, David J. Allabastro. Your presence will be deeply missed by all who knew and loved you.

Mary Ellen introduced me to David when I was helping them look for a house years ago. When he found out my name was Anne and my husband's was Don...he humorously kept mentioning " Don and Ann" from the tv show, "That Girl." We laughed and laughed! I'm so sorry for your loss, Mary Ellen.

Haha he let me have his MG for a day in high school. Thank you Dave that was a very special time for me and you trusted me and I delivered it back unharmed.
I think of that often, nobody else would have done something like that. Miss you

Even though we were states apart, we would call each other and talk about things going on with him and the family. Laughing at all the things we went through when we were younger. I loved him dearly and he was a big part of my life even though we were miles apart. My thoughts and prayers are with Maryellen, she was his rock.
