David Eugene Endicott

David passed away unexpectedly May 29th, 2025. He was a passionate and well known figure in the Seattle music, Rotary and political circles. David co-founded Music4Life a 501c3 whose mission is to donate and repair musical instruments at no charge to public schools for families in-need. This non-profit has grown to 15 chapters in the Puget Sound area. David was a member of Rotary #4 serving on the programs committee. In 2016 the district leadership asked David to start a virtual Rotary chapter #5030 serving as its first president. This chapter was the birthplace of Music4Life. Prior to that, David was in the public relations industry most prominently serving as press secretary for Senator Slade Gorton from 1982-87. He was later appointed by Governor Lowry to WA State Healthcare Advisory Board. A proud Norwegian, born and raised in Viroqua Wisconsin, he was a graduate of the University of Wisconsin and an active member of the Madison Scouts Alumni Marching Band. In memory of "Tuba Dave" he requested that donations be made to Music4Life on their website at Music4Life.org. David will be dearly missed by his Wisconsin and Seattle friends and family.
