David Hill Keyston

August 1925 - September 2016

David Hill Keyston passed away peacefully September 6, 2016, at the accomplished age of 91. Born August 2, 1925 in Burlingame, California to Hazel Elander and George Noel Keyston, David loved the San Mateo Peninsula and contributed much to its prosperity and development in the 1960's, 1970's and 1980's, with his brother, George Noel Keyston, Jr. through Anza Pacific Corporation. After his service in the Navy, David graduated from Stanford Business School, as part of the class of '48.
David was the beloved husband to Dolly Janisch Keyston; father to David L. Keyston, Douglas A. Keyston and DeeAnne Keyston Howe; as well as grandfather to Chase, Oliver and Victoria Howe and Sarah and Graham Keyston. He was also married to Norma Jean Hodges Keyston.
David Keyston was a life long Conservative, helping to establish many early Free Market "think tanks" promoting and preserving conservative political and economic ideals. He was a member of the Mont Pelerin Society as well.
David Keyston was a life long Christian Scientist, actively serving his church and sharing his deep and abiding love of God.
He will be remembered for his love of family, truth, principle and self governance. David was a fixture at Pebble Beach's Beach and Tennis Club, daily reading his Wall Street Journal, and always willing to discuss ways to restore America.
Greatly loved Dad and Grandpa......you will be profoundly missed.

Mr. Keyston and Norma Jean were my neighbors in Carmel. I enjoyed watching him on central coast access and making him apple pies. I miss them both.
