David Osborn

David Osborn, 75, longtime resident of Dallas and Anna Maria Island, died Oct. 23.

He was born May 2, 1947, in Chicago to the late H. Larkin and Marion M. Osborn.

He grew up in Wilmette, Illinois, and, after earning his bachelor of arts degree at Northwestern University, served four years as an officer in the U.S. Navy.

Mr. Osborn had been coming to the island with his family for more than 60 years and it was one of his favorite places in the world. He was so happy to have spent his final years living on AMI.

His love of the ocean, fishing, sports, cigars and cocktail-making was superseded only by the love for his only daughter, Kristin.

A kind and generous man, he will be greatly missed by those who knew and loved him.

Memorial donations may be made to the American Kidney Foundation or the Ocean Conservancy.

Mr. Osborn is survived by daughter Kristin and son-in-law Jordi Rovira; sister Rochelle and brother-in-law Louis Cain; niece Lauren Cain; brother Robert and sister-in-law Jacqueline; nephew Christopher; and former wife Linda.
