David Kristopher Schafer April 8, 1990 - August 2, 2012 Oakland, CA David Kristopher Schafer, age 22, died in a tragic motorcycle accident on Highway 24 in Orinda, CA.

In addition to family members, David leaves behind many close, loving friends who will miss him dearly. David graduated from Calaveras High School in June, 2008. During high school, he participated in Future Farmers of America and volunteered for the West Point Volunteer Fire Department and Rescue Squad. After high school, David worked for his father, Rudi Schafer, at his construction company Schafer Construct-ion/Times Up Termite where he proved to be a skilled carpenter. From age 12, David volunteered for Christmas in April/Rebuilding Together, and later joined BAYEAST and PCOC. David lived at his grandmother's property in the Oakland Hills, where he constantly contributed to the significant work load and cared for the animals. David became a skilled welder, automotive mechanic and fixer of all things! David left us all too soon. His infectious smile, abundant energy and belief in the good we all possess was an inspiration. He chose a path of happiness and would want all his loved ones to follow suit. In honor of David, seek peace, happiness and forgiveness for yourself and your loved ones.
