David Shulder

November 7, 1957 - November 4, 2019

Suddenly on November 4, 2019, David Bernard Shulder (61) passed away at his home in Austin, Texas. David was born in 1957 in Baltimore, MD. David graduated from Pikesville High School prior to attending Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute and Arizona State University. He spent his 30+ year career working at IBM as a hardware/software engineer making computers easier for the rest of the world to use. Dave enjoyed a full life of music, volleyball, outdoor activities, volunteering, cats, quirky theater, travel, fireworks and of course ice cream! David had a passion for real estate investing and was an avid gardener and protector of the natural environment. Though Dave lived in Austin and was a big supporter of University of Texas sports, he never forgot his hometown Orioles, Colts, and later the Ravens. David is survived by his long-time girlfriend Wendy Hiles and brothers Stephen Shulder (Brian and Stephanie) and Edward Shulder (Rachel and Nicholas) and sister-in-law Kristin Shulder. He was preceded in death by his beloved parents, Alan and Julia Shulder. A celebration of David’s life will be held at the Brentwood Neighborhood Park in Austin, TX on November 10, 2019 at 1:30 PM.
