David “Davey” Pearson’s life was one filled with love of family and passion for adventure. At the tender of age of four, he would discover a life-long love of swimming. He would go on to play water polo in high school, but being in the water was more than that. He was at peace when he swam and it was grounding when life got busy or complicated.
The bond and love he shared with his loving parents was incredibly special. The three traveled the world and David savored the experiences, cultures and cuisines. And of course, he would schedule “water time” during their travels cherishing the opportunities to swim in various oceans.
David graduated from Santa Clara University (SCU) in 2023 with a degree in economics and went on to serve as a research assistant in the Economics Department in the Leavey School of Business.
While an undergraduate, he was an accomplished swimmer in the Swim Club Sports Team and served in leadership roles with the club, including president during his senior year.
David swam with soul and he loved every stroke, every dive, every race.
Your gift to the Santa Clara University Swim Club Sports Team honors David and his passion for life and the sport he loved.
