David Lucy Obituary

David Lucy

April 26, 1937 - January 7, 2026

Winton, California - David A. Lucy will be remembered as a devoted father, grandfather, and great-grandfather; a loyal friend to many; a gifted athlete; and an extraordinary psychologist who dedicated his long career to helping thousands of children and families.

His greatest gifts were his boundless love of adventure and competition, his rare ability to make friends wherever he went, and, above all, his deep devotion to his family.

He truly was, as he so proudly liked to say,

"The Man. The Myth. The Legend."
