Dave's Autobiography
David Norman Loupot, Class of ’61, passed away on
April 17, 2024, in Denton, Texas.
Born in Dallas, Texas, David grew up in the Oak
Cliff neighborhood and attended Sunset High School. He went on to graduate from Texas A&M
University in 1961 with a BS in civil engineering. Following his graduation, he proudly served
his country in Vietnam with the United States Air Force as a pilot (T-37, T-33
& C124).
After his military service, David pursued a career
in aviation and flew for Braniff (1966-1982), Republic Airlines (1983-1986),
& Northwest Airlines (1986-1999).
(20000+ flight hours for career) DC 9, B727 & B757. His passion for flight was matched by his
love of travel, which took him to many corners of the world.
David had a deep appreciation for History,
researching through books and traveling to historical sites. He was an avid golfer as well since age 5,
driving it 200 yards at 83! He was also a devoted fan of all Aggie sports and
remained connected to his alma mater throughout his life.
He is survived by his beloved wife of 56 years,
Suzanne Donahue Loupot; his son, Stephen David Loupot and wife Hilary;
granddaughters Elise and Gwyneth Loupot; niece Pamela Loupot Brummett and
husband Kevin; great-nephews and niece Thomas Brummett, David Brummett and wife
Riley, Lauren Kaylee Brummett; and nephew Michael David Loupot.
David’s life was marked by dedication—to family,
country, and the skies he loved to navigate.
David left us with a quote in his belongings,
“It’s been a great ride. Great wife,
Great son and his family. Been Lucky
with a Good family, friends and golfing pals, who have put up with me, my golf,
and the Aggies all these years. Going to
miss it all. Take care”
In his memory the family asks to please donate to
the David Loupot '61 Aggie Ring Scholarship fund which will help a Cadet in the
Texas Aggie Corps afford a ring.
