David John Lasater, O.D., passed away peacefully on July 25, 2026, in Seattle, Washington, leaving behind a legacy of family devotion, military service, Christian faith, and dedicated community care. He was a beloved father, grandfather, great-grandfather, retired Army Major, and trusted local optometrist.

David was born in Vancouver, Washington, on September 26, 1961, to Audrey (Spencer) and Neil Lasater. Living in Camas-Washougal for 20 years, he attended St. John’s Presbyterian Church, became an Eagle Scout in Troop 308, playing Little League, hiking, camping, trail riding and traveling with his family.
