Dave HUMES

HUMES, Dave a fixture in San Antonio's real estate industry and golfing communities stretching from Michigan to Texas to Florida, passed away on August 14, 2024 in Tampa, Florida, while surrounded by his family. He was 90 years old. Dave grew up in Lansing, MI, and graduated from Sexton High School as its Senior Class President. He was awarded an Evans Caddy Scholarship to Michigan State University, where he played on their Big Ten golf team and met his wife of 64 years, Marian Humes. After two years of service in the U.S. Army and beginning his career in Michigan, Dave and Marian, with their three boys, Steve (Leigh), Tom (Lisa, decd.), and Jim (Jillian Rudman) moved to Texas, where Dave distinguished himself during a 56 year career in the real estate business. As an executive with several property management organizations and then founder of FDH Asset Management, he helped to fuel the growth of the region, holding leadership positions in professional associations such as President of the San Antonio Apartment Association, President of the Society of Real Estate Appraisers, and Chairman of the Commercial Divestment Division of SABOR. Upon retiring, Dave and Marian moved to Tampa, FL, to be closer to Steve and Leigh. He spent the last eight years building new friendships and celebrating his Scottish heritage as a member of the St. Andrews Society. Those who knew Dave will remember his unfailing integrity, warmth, sense of humor, gentle manner, and ability to bring a smile to anyone around him. They will also remember his love of golf, a sport he pursued throughout his life. He first shot his age at 72 and repeated the feat hundreds of times over the following years. He will be greatly missed by Marian, his children and their spouses, his grandchildren, Sera, Nicholas, and Devon, his extended family, and countless friends from every chapter of his life.
