Graduating from Tulsa Edison High School in Tulsa, Oklahoma in 1979. David was a member of the Sigma Chi Beta Kappa Fraternity Chapter at the University of Oklahoma where he graduated in 1984 with a BS in Construction Science. In 1984, David started his professional career in residential new home construction with Murry Homes in Plano, Texas. David's true passion was building and always said he would build until he died. The family and friends of David's are so glad he got his wish. David ended his building career all too soon due to his untimely death, but his last project was his most loved and his greatest building accomplishment. David was building homes on the Texas Coast for Legacy DCS out of Austin Texas. Cass Brewer, Owner and David Lange, Chief Operating Officer made a good team and David will forever be missed by his Legacy family. David's immediate family will be doing their best to continue his legacy with grace and dignity. In 1995 David married Linda and together they brought three wonderful children into their home which David built for his family in Richardson, Texas. Spencer (22), Tanner (20) and Hannah (17). David loved soccer, the ocean, cooking for his family and friends and taking his beloved dog Tucker for long walks. David was a family man devoted to his wife and kids. David rarely missed a football, soccer game, track or cross country meet. David just beamed with pride cheering those kids on. David was known for his quirky sense of humor and the more he joked with you the more he loved you. His hobbies were playing soccer, running, horse races and building computers. His meticulous attention to detail and adamant determination to do a job well inspired all who knew him. David's love of God, his family and his work in the residential building arena are a testament to a life well lived. Those left to cherish his memory are his wife Linda, children, Spencer, (UTD Dallas), Tanner (Texas Tech Lubbock) and Hannah, Rockport, TX., his mother Clara Lange, Tulsa, OK, brothers Tom Lange, Oklahoma City, OK., Mark Lange, Delores, CO., and Susan Lange, Bisbee, AZ as well as many extended family and friends.

David Lange: His Story as we know it from 2004-2019 From Cass and Carrie Brewer David was somewhat of a renaissance man who had many talents and areas of knowledge. His family was very important to him and one of his most important accomplishments. Linda, David's spouse were together for 34 years and truly enjoyed time spent cooking and entertaining together. Together, they had three children, Spencer, Tanner and Hannah. Always his main topic of conversation were those kids! Praising their activities and scholastic achievements while stating he didn't know how he got so lucky. David being the dedicated dad rarely missed a soccer, football, track or cross country sporting event. A soft spot for David was his dog Tuck, who Linda tells us is still waiting for him to come home. David will be remembered as a loving family man who never missed an opportunity to tell those around him how proud he was of his family. Cass and David met in 2004 in Dallas while they both worked for Centex in a new division called Centex Destination Properties. They had the opportunity to work and learn together building and creating dynamic products in amazing communities where David who was already great at purchasing and construction became passionate about high-end residential construction. The two of them found a deep friendship, trust, loyalty, passion in making a difference and enjoyed working together. Cass could rely on David and felt that he could read his mind on what he needed which lead to David coming to work with Legacy DCS in 2008. Bringing with him a valuable skill needed in construction of saving money or finding money in projects while ensuring best practices. Together, we had uncountable late nights working at the office, our house, working dinners and countless deadlines to meet the demands of a start-up company. Legacy expanded to the coast building beautiful coastal homes which needed leadership on point due to the extreme working conditions. David had raised his family in Dallas, but he offered to take the promotion and uproot his family to Rockport, Texas. David loved the coastal life expressing that he would love to always live there. This story is only a fragment of David, it's our story, but everyone that worked with him or knew him has their own. David was not a soul that lightly touched this earth, he left a mark on each of us for different reasons. Everyone that knew David or worked with him had their own unique relationship, but we thought we would list some of his character traits that bring a smile to our faces and remind us of what we will be missing…. He worked late and was early to rise He loved spending the weekend with family His kids were his priority and joy He talked about his wife and children at work all the time He would always take peoples stuff at work and hide them He had office antics that kept everyone on their toes He had play names or "AKA" names for everyone He told many off color jokes He knew what was going on in everyone's life and cared He loved Matt's El Ranch and would order the Crenshaw Steak He loved LaPlaya and would eat too many chips and loved the Guacamole He would sleep just about anywhere when he came to town He loved to cook and to stock his liquor cabinet so he could serve everyone He loved the hottest sauces or food that he could possibly eat He always showed up for overnight stays with his clothes in a laundry basket He loved to fish with his kids He loved the coast and his new home with Linda/kids He was always worried about his mom He helped everyone else when they were going through hard times He loved Crown Royal and frozen margaritas He would call you if he knew you were sick and wish you quick recovery He would give advice to people if he knew they needed it. He would start or end meetings with a joke He loved the people in his life He appreciated quality construction Lazy people drove him crazy Bad morals or disloyal people disappointed him He always wanted to learn and grow as a person He was a great friend He was kind and preferred to not speak ill of people He played soccer most of his life and loved to watch it David was VERY frugal David could fill a conference room with his paperwork Above all, David was a teacher to us professionally and personally We can all be sure that he played a great pre-game here on earth before leaving us to go home and that he left a ripple effect that will live on forever in all of us. David will be forever missed and we shall see him again one day. Carrie and Cass Brewer
