David Alexander Salcido Cantu was born on February 27, 1997 in Los Banos, CA and moved to San Juan Bautista, CA in 2001 growing up on our Grandparents beautiful farm. He attended San Juan Elementary school, then San Andreas High School before graduating from San Benito Highschool. He worked a couple of jobs really trying to make a life for himself. David was big on sports, including Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu even once spending a significant amount of time in Brazil to train. He absolutely loved family trips to Yosemite, day hiking trips to Fremont’s Peak in San Juan Bautista, and summer days at the beach. David had a huge heart and loved family nights with dinner and a movie.

David had a huge heart and was with no doubt the best person we knew, he was an amazing little brother, son, nephew, uncle, and cousin to all of us. He accepted everyone that came into his life, making many strangers family. From him we have learned to love, listen, and except life the way it is. At such a young age he was already so grown up. He was born with a pure and strong soul. Making everyone around him feel loved. We will be celebrating his life at Black Cooper Sander Funeral home in Hollister, CA.
