David Warren Mount

February 19, 1947 — December 27, 2024

David Warren Mount was born on Feb. 19, 1947, in Jefferson, Iowa. His parents were Warren and Nina Mount. David grew up working on the farm and helping with the horses. After graduation from high school in 1965 his Mother suggested he help his older sister and her husband, and their 4 children, move from Iowa to Southern California where he eventually met his wife.

He spent his life working in the construction industry, starting as an estimator for a metal building company and ending his career as a Construction Manager for an industrial developer, building concrete tilt-up buildings. One of his last projects was a one million SF building which was on his "bucket list" to do.

When he retired in 2013, they moved to Bend, OR. While living in Bend, he volunteered for 6 years at Healing Reins, a therapeutic riding facility. There he worked with children and adults, but his favorite was working with at-risk teens from a local ranch. He taught them how to care for horses then eventually how to ride them. But seven years of shoveling snow was enough, so in 2020, in the height of Covid, they moved to Keizer to be closer to family.

He is survived by his wife of 55 years, Diane; sons Scott (Barbara) of Tualatin, OR and Steve (Tonya) of Duvall, WA; and 5 grandchildren, Stephen (Jenna) of Bothell, WA, Jake of Portland, OR, Lauren Lum (Taylor) of Boise, ID, Warren and Katy of Duvall, WA. He is also survived by his brother Paul of Bloomington, MN, sisters Darlene of Story City, IA and Margaret of Ozark, MO as well as many nieces, nephews, and cousins.

A Celebration of Life for David will be held on Saturday, January 18, 2025 at 2:00 PM at Countryside Christian Church (corner of Lockhaven and McLeod in Keizer, Oregon).
