Timothy Patrick Pidgeon

1956 - 2022

After a valiant fight with the rare and aggressive cholangiocarcinoma, Timothy Patrick Pidgeon died peacefully at home surrounded by his adoring immediate family on July 22, 2022. Tim was born May 14, 1956 to loving parents James Matthew Pidgeon and Mary Helen Cruise Pidgeon. He is survived by his wife, of 35 years, Alice, daughter Shannon, son Ryan, mother Mary Helen, siblings Jim (Virginia), John, Elena (Grant), four nephews and one niece.

Tim grew up in Westlake and summered in nearby Marin County. He attended Our Lady of Mercy (‘70), St. Ignatius College Preparatory (‘74), and College of Marin. He graduated from San Francisco State University (‘79) with a BS in Small Business Administration and Management followed by an MBA from the same institution in 1981. Tim began his career in the investment industry by working alongside his father at Bateman Eichler Hill Richards. Over his distinguished 40-year career, he ascended to Managing Director-Investments and Premier Advisor while building The Pidgeon Group of Wells Fargo Advisors from a trusted family practice to a loyal team achieving #30 Forbes Best-In-State Wealth Advisors (2022). Anyone who worked with Tim knows that he was devoted to the needs and lives of his multigenerational client base. Tim had a passion for soccer - actively playing in high school, college and for Bay Area semi-professional teams. He helped expand the Mill Valley Soccer Club from a local resource into a club sharing international exchange programs with clubs in Sweden, England and Germany. While playing internationally, he visited White Hart Lane and forged a lifelong loyalty to his beloved “Spurs”. He co-founded and operated soccer camps, refereed, and later coached both of his children’s soccer teams in Marin.

Tim was a proud member of The Olympic Club for 52 years. He served on SI’s Board of Regents and Board of Trustees. He twice served on St. John’s Episcopal Church Vestry, is an Officer for The Most Venerable Order of the Hospital of St. John of Jerusalem and is a past President of the Greenbrae Property Owners Association (GPOA). Tim was a tactful fundraiser and faithfully served on the Development Committees for SI, St. John’s, and The Order of St. John.

Tim set his roots in the Bay Area but through his natural curiosity he enthusiastically ventured to Europe, Asia and Central America over his lifetime. He found joy and serenity in the great outdoors. He was an America the Beautiful lifetime member, hiker, avid fisherman (fly and deep sea) and lover of natural beauty. If you ever dined with Tim, you know that he was a connoisseur of fine food and finer drink.

A Celebration of Life Service is planned for 2pm on Thursday September 22, 2022 at St. John’s Episcopal Church, 14 Lagunitas Road, Ross, immediately followed by a reception at the nearby Marin Art & Garden Center (MAGC). In lieu of flowers, the family asks that any donations be made in Tim’s memory to By the Bay Health, whose team provided exceptional hospice care and support to Tim and his family.

David Carl Roos, 64, died peacefully in his Chicago, IL home on July 6, 2022. He had been living with diabetes and kidney disease for many years, and was on a kidney and pancreas transplant list.

David was born on October 16, 1957 and was raised on a farm in Holly Michigan, where he developed a deep love for animals. After graduating from Holly High School in 1974 he worked as a horse trainer while studying theatre and dramatic arts at the University of Michigan.

After attending U of M, he moved to New York City, where he initially acted in many musical productions. Soon, he became drawn to ballet, and danced for the American Ballet Theatre for several years.

In 1988, he moved to Los Angeles, CA and opened his own Theatre Arts Management company. In this role, he worked with many music groups, including the Manhattan Transfer. He also worked with the Catholic Charities and Bill Graham Presents to promote fundraising concerts and awareness for Bay Area Charities, including the emerging HIV / AIDS crisis.

After several years, he decided to return to his love of working with animals, partly based on his passion for horse training. He soon enrolled in the San Francisco SPCA Academy for Dog Trainers, run by Jean Donaldson, one of the foremost trainers in the industry. He was one of her top students, and afterwards helped produce a DVD for one of her books, which is still in production today and is studied by aspiring trainers throughout the country. He also earned many other training certificates.

In 1999, David opened Perfect Paws Dog Daycare and Training in San Francisco. Perfect Paws won awards as the “Best Dog Training and Doggy Daycare” by San Francisco Magazine. He ran this business for 18 years, successfully training thousands of dogs.

In 2017, he closed his business, partly due to health issues. After a stop in Palm Springs, he eventually moved to Chicago in order to become the head trainer at Tucker Pup’s Pet Resort. At Tucker Pup’s, he built the largest and most comprehensive dog training business in Chicago. He also created, trained, and managed a large team of trainers.

David’s humor and quick wit, while irreverent at times, was also disarming and he had a way of putting people at ease. David’s smile and charm always lit up the room.

He is survived by his parents, Carl and Shirley Roos of Holly, Michigan, his brother Raymond (Renee), his two sisters Barbara Roos and Beverly (Pat) Vondra, a nephew, many nieces, great nieces and great nephews, aunts, uncles and cousins. David also leaves many friends across this country and a dear friend of 40 years in England.

The family will have a memorial mass on July 30, 2022 at 11:00 am at St. Rita’s Catholic Church in Holly Michigan.
