David Lomax Obituary

David Burton Lomax May 5, 1962 - May 21, 2020 David Burton Lomax, beloved son, brother, nephew and friend, died unexpectedly at the age of 58 at his residence in Venice, CA. He was born to parents, Peter and Nancy Lomax in San Francisco, CA on May 5, 1962. David grew up in Greenbrae, CA, attending school at Bacich Elementary School and graduating from Redwood High School in Kentfield, CA, the Class of 1980. David and his brother Michael often worked at the family restaurant in San Francisco, where David enjoyed the restaurant business, eventually continuing his career in Southern California where he established residence. David loved sports and he was very active in soccer and baseball. He was a gregarious, fun loving guy with a great sense of humor. Most of all, he enjoyed spending time with his family and friends. During his parents illnesses, David was very attentive and caring during that difficult time. David was preceded in death by his parents, Peter and Nancy Lomax, and brother Michael Lomax. He is survived by his aunts, Lenore Whalen, Carole Maskell, and Jeanetta Payne; and several cousins and friends. "Rest, now David, Your flight from this planet is sinking in upon everyone who knew and loved you. Our hearts are beating to a very slow beat...until we see you again." (Jeanetta Payne) Due to Covid-19 a private interment will be held at a later date. David will be laid to rest in the family plot alongside his beloved parents and brother at Mt. Tamalpais Cemetery in Marin County, CA.

Oh David...and to all the Lomaxes. Now, even your Aunty Caroline Lomax Maskell (my sister) has joined you.
Our days on earth are like "a puff of smoke that appears briefly and then disappears" James 4:14.
And we´re left here. Treading water, so we don´t sink.

David it's been a year since you left us. I keep waiting for your phone call every week. Sure do miss you. I know you are together with your family and it saddens me and others that you are all gone. The only peace I have of you and your father, mother and brother, that you are all together. The Lomax Family was very special and we'll thought of. Until we meet again someday. Love, Aunt Lenore

I am shocked and saddened to find out about David,s passing.
I lived in Marin Co. for many years, before moving to Canada.
I became very friendly with the family and watched the boys grow.
I am happy that David will be laid to rest with his family.
R.I.P. David.

This is just so unexpected and sad. However, as you stated above Jeanetta, ...we will see you again. This is the only promise that matters in life. These fabulous relationships that are given to us over the years are imprints in our experiences and become part of who we are. I knew both the Lomax brothers. Michael and David...they were such a part of my early years in Greenbrae and in High School. I am glad to learn that there is a family plot as I am certain David was greeted by his family in spirit upon his last breath. It is with all my heart that I send my condolences to the close family and friends of David..I am certain this is a soul who touched many people...as I am forever changed from knowing David...God Bless...
