David G Foster

Bellingham, WA ? David Foster, 62, of Bellingham, WA and formerly of Victoria, TX, died at home on December 30, 2022 after a recent cancer diagnosis. David was born on November 22, 1960 in Victoria, TX to Talmadge (Slick) and Evelyn Foster and spent a wild and happy childhood roaming the rice fields off Salem Road. He spent most of his life in Victoria, with a couple of years' sojourn in Scotland as a teen. He was coerced into moving to the Pacific Northwest, which he loved almost instantly.

He called himself a lost soul until such time as he was able to help his parents age in place at their home. David loved BBQ and cooking for the joy of it, reading history and historical fiction, watching baseball, building model trains, his steadfast and kindred sister, any and everything about World War II, and especially his grandchildren.

David was preceded in death by his parents and sister, Cindi Petrie. He leaves his wife, Jennifer of Bellingham, sister Lawaine Stubblefield (Bob) of Victoria, TX, brother Tab Foster (Marcy) of Portland, OR; Devlin Foster (Randeep Chauhan), Leah Foster (Jorge Pacheco de la O) of Bellingham, and Anna Foster of Chicago, IL, grandchildren Oliver de la O Foster, Sofia de la O Foster, and Asher Aries Foster Chauhan (the lights of his life!), and many friends, old and new. Many thanks to Whatcom Hospice, and his doctors Casey Lien and Michael Higgins.

A party celebrating David's life will be planned later. In the meantime, raise a glass of your favorite local microbrew in his honor. Love you, Grandpa Dew! David G Foster
