David Platt Obituary
DAVID PAUL PLATT
November 2, 1972 ˜ December 3, 2018
Jesus called his son, David Paul Platt, Home on December 3, 2018. He was born in Anaheim, California on November 2, 1972 and has called the Pacific Northwest his home for over 30 years.
David was an avid inventor and a master of his craft, with a God-given gift for science. He was an invaluable contributor to Microsoft, Xerox, and Tektronix. With a Bachelor’s in Science from Washington State University, Engineering may have paid the bills, but David’s passion was for family, friends, going FAST, his WSU Cougars, and our Lord Jesus Christ.
Family was always on David’s mind and he is survived by his loving wife, Shirley Platt; daughter, Alixandra Platt; son, Tristan Platt; four step-children, Benjamin, Abbie, Shelby and Logan Henry; his brothers, Daniel Platt and Jonathan Schneider; his sisters, Amie Tadla and Crystal Schneider; his loving parents, Mark Platt, Rainy Schneider and Joseph Schneider; and a host of loving aunts, uncles, nieces, nephews, grandparents and cousins.
A Celebration of Life will be held at Attrell’s Funeral Chapels located at 207 Villa Road in Newberg, Oregon on Thursday, December 13, 2018 at 11a.m.

May you be shining in heaven just as you did on us.
You can never be forgotten or blown out.
You are Our shining star.

I am saddened to hear of David passing. I thank God for bringing me the gift of Dave in my life. I have many fond memories of Dave during our college years at WSU. He is greatly missed. I offer my prayers to his wife and family that their sorrows will be consoled.
