May 10, 1962 – September 5, 2023

We announce with sadness the death of a loving father, son and family man David Langenmayr. David was a Master Educator with specialties in science and technology who was renowned for his innovative programs and curriculum. He was in constant awe of the natural world, and never stopped his chase for knowledge. David created and implemented a Marine Environmental Education program in Collier County while at Pine Ridge Middle School. He and His family spent years in India where he taught high school science before being recruited as the Academic Principal at a school in Chongqing, China. David returned to Naples as a teacher at East Naples Middle School.

He was a kind, patient, loving and brilliant man who dedicated his life to education and his students. The principal shared with us how David made a point to greet every student coming to school each morning with a smile and stayed through dismissal until each student was gone. Throughout his thirty-year career in education, he continued to attend student recitals and chaperone dances to show his support of the children.

David loved marine biology, was an avid reader, and a Scuba Diving Instructor. David is survived by his beloved children, Ocean and Orion, his wife Kimberly, his mother, sisters and other extended family and friends to whom he was devoted and generous.

Donations in his name may be made to the East Naples Science Department, attn Principal Maryann Gallegos.
