David died at home on June 18, 2016, surrounded by his family. A lifelong resident of Seattle, David was born to Helen Marie Ryan Wyman and David Evans Wyman Sr. on February 23, 1945.
David graduated from Lakeside School in 1963 and attended St. Mary's College in Moraga, CA and the University of Washington. After his schooling, David joined the US Air Force, serving in many missions to the Vietnam warzone from his base in Thailand.
Upon returning from his military service David joined his father in the family business, M.A. Wyman Lumber Company which owned timber land and sawmills in addition to other investments. Additionally, he served as a long time director of Kinzua Corporation in northeastern Oregon.
In 1980 David ventured out on his own purchasing a large local steel fabricator. Within 24 months the recession hit and Stack Steel failed leaving David with challenges that he rose above and conquered with honesty and dignity. Moving forward after this disappointment, David found success in the early excitement of angel investing in companies such as Coin Star and Prime Advisors. Most recently, David joined Cascadia Capital where he served as director of business development until the time of his death.
The Wyman family has had a long tradition supporting charitable and cultural organizations in Seattle. David's grandfather, father and uncle created the Wyman Youth Trust in 1951 and David has continued this tradition as a trustee of the Youth Trust stewarding donations as well as serving as a trustee of Lakeside School, ACT Theater and Griffin Business College. He was a member of the Men's University Club, 487, The RUINS, Seattle Tennis Club, Washington Athletic Club and Ducks Unlimited.
In his early years David was an avid sailor, racing in Swiftsure races and sailing with the Seattle 6 Metre fleet with his shared interest in "Pacemaker," which competed at The St. Francis Yacht Club in San Francisco. During the '80's David began running daily out of the Washington Athletic Club with a group of downtown business men and women, and finished marathons in New York and London. His other passions were skiing on Bald Mountain in Sun Valley, fly fishing in Montana, bird hunting all over the world and reading history and biographies.
David is survived by his wife of 40 years, Linda Agustsson Wyman and their son Charles McCall Wyman and his three sisters, Ann Wyman, Deehan Wyman and Virginia Wyman.
David was a compelling and charismatic man who lived life on his own terms. He was the most loyal of friends and they will miss him dearly. We wish there had been more time.
A celebration of life will be held for David at the RUINS on Thursday, July 7, from 3:30 until 6:30 with remarks scheduled for 4:30 p.m. Valet parking will be provided. A donation may be made in David's memory to Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center or Seattle Public Library Foundation.
