David “Dave” Richard Lampe, a lifelong Henderson resident and accomplished multi-sport athlete from Sturgis, tragically passed away on September 1, 2026, leaving behind his devoted wife and family.
His journey, marked by resilience, began with a battle against cancer that claimed his life at 62, yet his spirit continues to inspire those who knew him.
David’s athletic prowess shone brightly at Sturgis High School, where he earned eight varsity letters, embodying dedication and excellence. Beyond sports, he thrived as an entrepreneur and real estate professional, building a career defined by innovation and service.
Born March 2, 1963, in Sturgis, Michigan, to Donald R. Lampe and the late Lois L. Crowl Lampe, David’s early years laid the foundation for a life of purpose and passion.
At Sturgis High School, he excelled not only academically but also athletically, setting the stage for a future filled with achievements. His commitment to service was evident as an Eagle Scout in Troop 402 and an avid golfer who cherished time on the course.
Entrepreneurial Spirit and Community Impact
Post-graduation, David pursued higher education, earning an associate degree from Glen Oaks Community College and a bachelor’s from Eastern Michigan University. His career spanned roles as a sales executive at Coldwell Banker Premier and a consultant at Holiday Inn Club Vacations, yet his true pride lay in real estate and entrepreneurship.
Relocating to Arizona in the late 1980s and later Nevada, David became a trusted figure in the community, known for his integrity and vision. As a husband to Susan Jacoby Lampe, a patient care coordinator, their 21-year marriage was a testament to love and partnership.
David’s family includes his father Donald, sister Darcy Hill, nephews Jeffrey and Danny Herman, Alexandra Hill, Jacob Hill, and extended relatives across multiple states.
Preceded by his mother Lois and sister Diana, David’s legacy endures through those he touched daily—colleagues, neighbors, and loved ones.
