David Emanuel Shusterman

David was a loving husband, father, brother, uncle, grandfather, and great-grandfather. He was the patriarch of his family, who all cherished him. His 15-plus year battle with cancer got the best of him, but not before he held his great-granddaughter, Lily Katz.

He was married to the late Susan Fine Shusterman for 47 happy years before she passed away in 2006. He was also preceded in death by his parents.

Survivors are his children Debbie (Bruce) Katz, Daniel (Amy) Shusterman, and Doug Shusterman, all of Dallas, and Hilary Sherman, his partner, and her family.

PaShu, as he was called by his grandchildren, was adored by Jared (Mackenzie) Katz and daughter Lily, Justin (Delaney) Katz, Jenna (fiancé Jeremy Stein) Katz, Sydney Shusterman and Max Shusterman, all of Dallas.

He is also survived by his sister, Sara Lee Jacobson, and nieces, Judy (Rick) Morrison all of Baltimore, Maryland, and Betsey Collins of Boca Raton Florida; brother-in-law Larry (Linda) Fine of Denver, Colorado, and their children Landon (Kristen) Fine, and Melissa (Tim Campbell) Fine.

The family thanks Dr. Gill Kirpatrick, Carlos, Devora, Abby, and Brittnay of Texas Oncology along with Allison Thomas, PA and Dr. Matt Wilner for their wonderful care over the years.

Funeral services were held at Congregation Anshai Torah Jan. 30; interment followed at Sparkman/Hillcrest. Rabbi Stefan Weinberg, Congregation Anshai Torah, officiated the funeral service.
