David Jesse Capps
FEBRUARY 8, 1974 – APRIL 18, 2018

David Jesse Capps, 44, went to be with his Lord on April 18, 2018, at his home in Gresham, Oregon, of natural causes.
David loved working and helping others and was a very giving person. He attended Woodinville high school in Woodinvile, Washington, where he volunteered working with handicapped students, assisting them in both educational and physical activities. Out of school he volunteered as a community basketball coach, often playing in games himself. He loved to cook, and was known for his famous ‘potato soup’. He especially held a high priority for his family, and during family gatherings it was common for siblings, nieces, and nephews to receive special gifts. He loved to camp and enjoy the outdoors with his family and friends.

He served with distinction as an Aviation Technician in the U.S. Marine Corps, joining on July 29, 1996, and receiving an Honorable Discharge November 30, 1998. He took pride in being able to serve his country. After discharge he attended Portland State University where he majored in criminal justice studies. In June, 2002, he began his lifetime dream of becoming a federal law enforcement officer, joining the Department of Homeland Security, where he performed his public safety duties until his death. He loved his work, During national critical incident events, such as providing security for Super Bowl Games, political conventions, and olympic games, his presence would routinely be there. He was held in very high esteem by his fellow law enforcement colleagues, he felt comfortable in any setting, and being an excellent communicator, he excelled at problem solving, regardless of the situation at hand.

He was born in Portland, Oregon, February 8, 1974, to the late JB Capps, Sr., and Ellyn Jones Hurst. He was preceded in death by his father, and a brother, Jon Capps. He is survived by his wife Stephanie Lynn, daughters; Madelynn Elizabeth, Leila Ellyn, and son, Jesse Joseph, all of Gresham, OR.
