LAKEPORT, Calif. – On Aug. 26, 2020, the Lord called home one of his own, Pastor David Henry Giron, passed away at his home in Lakeport surrounded by his loving family.
David has won the battle and now has a perfect body without pain, made possible by God, for whom he had much love and devotion.
David had many great qualities in life, most notable is his love for God. He adored quoting the Word of God any time a conversation would allow and was an enthusiastic conversationalist to boot.
He was a lay pastor for First Lutheran Church in Lucerne and taught bible classes in his spare time.
He was a champion chess player and fluent in Greek/Hebrew.
David loved people and was devoted to helping them however he could, either with the Word of God or just being by being there for anyone in need.
His family recalls his devotion to them as well, he was a great provider, a loving husband and father.
He was also an enthusiastic and passionate chess player who was a praiseworthy adversary.
He leaves behind his loving wife and best friend of 27 years, Kim P. Giron, and many close family members: son, Derek (Crystal) Eairheart and step-daughter, Sabrina Johnson; his siblings, sister, Darlene C. Brown (or as he liked to call her, Cynthia) and brothers, Daniel and Don; three grandsons, Courage, Zach and Steven; and two granddaughters, Harmony and Bryanna. His nephew and two nieces, Jonathan, April and Lindsay, and his parish family will always remember his words of wisdom and his great love of God along with being a great spiritual leader as well.
David’s memorial service was rendered on Aug. 31, at Jones Mortuary in Lakeport and a memorial Mass on Sept. 4 at First Lutheran Church in Lucerne.
He was laid to rest on Sept. 4 at Hartley Cemetery in Lakeport, with presiding minister, Pastor Chris DelCol, and musicians, Pastor Chris DelCol and Gloria Scott.
In David’s Voice
“PSALM 19:
13…Keep your servant also from willful sins; may they not rule over me. Then I will be blameless, innocent of great transgression.
14…May these words of my mouth and this meditation of my heart be pleasing in your sight, Lord, my Rock and Redeemer.”
