Stahl

Dr. David Marion Stahl, age 95, passed away on Saturday, Oct. 29, 2022. He was born on July 23, 1927 to Joseph and Clara Stahl in Schulenburg.

David attended Texas Medical Institute in San Antonio from 1942-1944 and The University of Texas in Austin from 1944-1945. He was a member of the Phi Sigma Delta Fraternity and was elected to the honorary pre-med (AED) and honorary medical society (AOA). In 1945, he voluntarily interrupted his medical career to join the United States Navy as a Naval Corpsman until 1947. During his military service, David extended his medical career as a Pharmacist. His service enabled him to assist fellow military men who were wounded in WWII. After his honorary discharge, he continued his medical education at Baylor College of Medicine from 1948-1952. He completed his internship at the University of Kansas School of Medicine from 1952-1953 and became a resident of Urology in 1953-1956. He then became board certified and started a private practice in Houston. He was a physician at St. Luke’s, Hermann Memorial, and North Shore Medical Center hospitals. He proudly served patients from 1956-1994. He was a member of the American Urological Association, Harris County Medical Society, American Medical Society, College of Surgeons and South Central AUA.

Dr. Stahl married Lois (Bobbie) Sabrsula on Sept. 2, 1966 and he was blessed with 56 years of marriage to his soul mate. Dr. and Mrs. Stahl turned their weekend retreat into their fulltime residence in La Grange in 1997. Dr. Stahl was a devoted husband, dedicated father, and loving grandfather. He would go above and beyond for the happiness of his family and friends. He touched many lives with his generosity and always making others laugh with his quirky sense of humor. He loved his furry companions whether it was his dog riding along side of him in his truck or the cat lying on his office desk or in his lap. He enjoyed watching game shows and westerns and was an avid reader. He was a member of First Baptist Church of La Grange where he was blessed with long lasting friendships. He will be greatly missed by all.

Dr. Stahl is survived by his loving wife, Lois; daughters: Jennifer Stahl-King and husband, Patrick; Pamela Stahl Lambert and grandson, Alex David Lambert; daughter-in-law, Michele Stahl and grandsons: Cameron Michael Stahl and Conner David Stahl; sister-in-law, Mildred Lauraine and numerous nieces and nephews.

He was preceded in death by his son, Judson Landa Stahl; sisters-in-law: Minnie Meyer and Betty Reed; and brothers-in-law: Vivian, Frank, John, and Jack Sabrsula.
