David Allen Hebert, died in his sleep on the morning of July 5, 2012. He was 57 yeas old.
Born in Seattle on January 14th, 1955, Dave grew up in Bellevue before it turned into its current state: fishing the culvert’s (yes, native trout once ran under your feet, Eastsiders), sneaking into the Bel-Kirk Drive-In movie theater, or simply hanging with his pals. He attended Sacred Heart Elementary, Chinook Junior & Bellevue Senior high schools. He was a carpenter by trade and could build just about anything.
Dave had some pavement under his feet. Lots of paths traveled. Some for good, others not so much (his own definition). But he never lost the spark that separated him from just about everyone else: the guy could take up with anyone: kings, queens, jesters, politicians, proletariat & bourgeoisie, young and old alike. He’d get you to the now, and soon it was two people conversing on equal footing. He would find a thread of commonality and feed it. The end result was usually a friendship, or at the very least it was time well spent, you’d walk away untangling the ball of yarn you had just spun with him and doing it fondly.
This is sad and it stings, because there was a whole lot of living left do for brother Dave. He is survived by his son Anthony-28 and daughter Shawna-26 (and their mother Vicki), all of Kirkland. His mother Doreen, brothers Barney (wife Nancy, children Allysen and Jordan – and their spouses Joey and Christina), Ken (Linda), John (Zoe, children Margaret & Audrey) and Joe (Jennifer, and Ben). Sisters Mary (Tony), Julie (Kelly, and children Aaron, Emily and Claire) and Kris (Bob and daughter Monica). 
Remember Dave kindly. He really did have a heart of gold.
A memorial will be held on Thursday, July 19th, at 11:00am at Sacred Heart Church in Bellevue.
