David was an energetic person with a larger than life personality. A 1979 graduate of Sam Barlow High School he lettered in track and was Class President and voted by the faculty as their Outstanding Senior Graduate. He continued his education at the University of Idaho in Moscow, Washington where he continued track and field. There were many athletes from other countries that were part of this sport too. He befriended many of them and helped with their English and studies. David graduated with a dual Bachelors Degree; one in Finance and the other in Accounting. His first job was in Portland with Deloitte, Haskins and Sells as an auditor. He was pursued by Goldman Sachs and hired as a Financial Analyst in their Manhattan office on Wall Street. After several years, the company needed a person to transfer to their San Francisco office and he was chosen. David loved the diversity of San Francisco and remained there until he took early retirement. New Orleans was his next destination. He found a historic apartment in the French Quarter on Royal Street just one block off Bourbon Street. He enjoyed many good friends, music, gourmet food and cooking. His last move was back to Oregon and Happy Valley to be near his family.
David was the life of the party kind of guy. He was kind to everyone and would help anyone in need. He had a steadfast faith and positive attitude. David was fun loving and enjoyed making up words. One favorite was, “elevated attitude”. This is a good descriptive of him.
Survivors include his father, Charles Kampmann; mother, Shirlee Kampmann; brothers, Mark and Scott Kampmann and sisters, Shelley Patterson and twin, Deanna Jury.
