David Schley Obituary

Published by Legacy Remembers from Apr. 29 to May 1, 2023.
It is with great sadness that I announce that David Schley of San Jose left us on April 13, 2023, at the age of 73. He is preceded in death by his father, Leland, and is survived by his mother, Beverly, daughter Stephanie (Phil Hulme), and his uncle Van (Mary) VanBuren. He was a beloved son, father, nephew, and friend. David was born in Iowa, moved to Arizona at age 8, and spent the last 55 years of his life in California. When he moved to California, David spent ten years in the horse business before transitioning into commercial real estate in the South Bay, where he spent the last 40+ years of his career. He loved horses, playing golf, watching sports, dancing, and socializing with friends and family.He will be greatly missed and will always hold a special place in our hearts.
