David Bergeron

David Warren Bergeron, loving son, brother, husband, father, and grandfather, passed away peacefully in the early hours of April 1st with his wife, Deborah, by his side. Family was everything to David, who was also lovingly referred to as "Big D" or "Pops." David was born on October 4, 1949 in Baton Rouge, LA to Mary Sampson and Thomas Bergeron. Even as a child, David's steadfast work ethic was apparent. From the early age of thirteen, David began working for his father's accounting practice and by the time he completed undergraduate studies at Louisiana State University (LSU), he was managing the practice himself. He continued to work full-time while attending LSU Law School. While at law school, David met his wife, Deborah, while she was attending LSU as an undergraduate student. Oddly enough, on a blind date! David and Deborah danced through their dating year and were married in 1973. Shortly after graduating law school in 1974, at the top of his class, David and Deborah moved to Houston (and into their first apartment near the Galleria), where David accepted a role with Arthur Anderson. In 1980 David went into private practice and founded his own tax firm. Later, in 1996, David expanded his firm to encompass a wealth management practice where he also served as a Certified Financial Planner. David loved his craft and continued to work until his last days. He would have had it no other way. David was known to many as a companion, friend, mentor, and confidante. He had an unmatched work ethic, a meticulous attention for detail and an unparalleled moral compass. The combination made him a successful entrepreneur and a trusted advisor to many in the Houston community. David touched many lives, both professionally and personally, leaving a part of himself with everyone he knew. Strangers became acquaintances, clients became friends, and friends became family. David was a voracious reader and an extraordinary storyteller. He had an insatiable curiosity for travel and was everyone's favorite tour guide. He loved nature and spending as much time as he could outdoors, including spending the summers in the Berkshires, where he could most likely be found hiking or enjoying time by a fire. David is survived by his wife, Deborah, his children, Aaron, Kara (Jacob), and Brian (Stephanie), his grandchildren, Joshua, Raph, Ella, and Charlie, and his sister, Laurie. He is already and will be forever missed. If you would like to make a donation in David's honor, please contact Camp Young Judea Texas, Inc., (713) 723-8354, in memory of David W.
