David Eric Heinz

April 23, 1973 - August 22, 2024

David Eric Heinz, 51, of Beaumont, Texas, passed away unexpectedly on August 22, 2024. Born on April 23, 1973, David was a cherished husband, father, son, brother, and community member known for his dedication to both his family and his work.

David is a graduate of Lamar University, where he was a proud four-year starter on the Lamar Men’s Soccer Team. His career as a Financial Advisor at Sunbelt Securities was marked by his commitment to helping others achieve their financial goals. Beyond his professional achievements, David was deeply involved in his community. He contributed his time and efforts to Monsignor Kelly Catholic High School, St. Anne Catholic School, Boy Scouts of America – Three Rivers Council, Beaumont Rotary Club, Trinity Methodist Church, and various local youth sports programs.

David’s greatest joy came from spending time with his family and friends. He was a devoted husband to his wife, Caroline Winslow Heinz, for 18 years, and a loving father to his sons, Thomas Carlyle Heinz, William Robert Heinz, and Weston Everett Monroe. His enthusiasm for attending his boys’ sporting events and other school activities was unmatched, and he enjoyed hunting, fishing and exercising in his free time.

He is survived by his wife, Caroline; his sons, Thomas, William, and Weston; his parents, Gary and Jacquelene Heinz; his brothers and their wives, Corey and Brandi Heinz, Joshua and Kimberlin Heinz, and Jacob and Amy Heinz; and all his nieces and nephews. David was preceded in death by his grandparents, Carlyle and Joyce Heinz, Dovie Menard, and Robert Vela.

    Caroline, Weston, Thomas, and William: There are no words to express how sorry I am for your loss. I met and spoke with David many times during several holiday dinners at Anne’s house. He was always a polite, kind, and took an interest in our conversations. He will be missed by many, not only for his counsel, but also for the things he gave you all and the times he shared with the rest of us. Mary Nelson

    I only knew David professionally and I can’t tell you how much I trusted, counted on and appreciated him. I feel like he and I went through a lot with the market fluctuations during Covid and afterward. He always took my calls and helped me make the right decisions despite my anxiety. He was a good man and a great financial advisor.. I’ll miss him terribly and my thoughts are with his family and loved ones. I’m so sorry for your loss.

    Aimee Hulett says:

    Caroline, boys, and entire Heinz Family,

    We are so saddened by this great loss in all our lives. We all loved David very much and will miss him every day until we are with him again. The memories of David and all the Heinz family in Logan’s life are so significant. I can’t tell you the many stories that live in our household that Logan has always shared with our children. Logan may never have had a brother, but the four Heinz boys have always been brothers to him.

    Our sorrow is great and he will be so missed. We send our constant thoughts and prayers during this time.
    Love,
    Aimee and Logan Hulett

    Jerry Hurtado says:

    David Heinz was a first year graduate when I met him. It was my first year of coaching and I was assigned to the head soccer position. I knew absolutely nothing about the sport and Jackie introduced me to her son. He took the time to give me some ideas for drills and some tactics to the game. I am so thankful to him for helping me get my career started without fear. David you rest in peace brother, you made a difference with me and I can’t thank you enough. God bless the Heinz family and friends.

    Tina Shaw-Martinez says:

    Savannah Cooksey says:

    I was so saddened to hear of David’s passing this week. Words cannot express the deep condolences I have for Caroline & the kids.

    Growing up I have such fond memories of my Dad (Ryan), Chris, and David playing soccer and watching UFC fights by our pool late into the night with friends and family. The times they spent together were full of so much joy, laughter, and stories to stand the test of time. Boat propellors, funny halloween costumes, and even being in NYC on 9/11.

    David’s character has always been unwavering. He has never missed a funeral in my family — from my brother, Chris, to my grandmother, Brenda, he showed up for us regardless of when we saw him last. I’m deeply comforted to know he has reunited with these loved ones who adore him so much.

    I’ll always remember David as a compassionate and honorable guy that knew how to live life to the fullest. It was an absolute pleasure to encounter his spirit in this life.

    Jerry Hurtado says:

    I can’t say enough about David and his help in getting me started as head soccer coach in Lumberton. David helped me learn the game and got me through that first year by giving me ideas and methods to form a philosophy.
    I was a football coach and knew nothing about the game of soccer. David took the time to help me. God bless you my brother and rest in peace

    Jose Perez says:

    Sabrina Nelson says:

    Words can not express how deeply saddened I am to hear of David’s passing. David was a wonderful friend and neighbor to me. He always was willing to lend a helping hand when needed or just to talk in the street about family and friends. Prayers to Caroline, the boys, David’s parents and brothers. May God give you strength during this time. It was a blessing to know David and he will be truly missed. 🙏🏻

    Barbara LaRusso says:

    All of your Heinz cousins in St. Louis are sending love and prayers to the Texas Heinz Family. We have such fond and fun memories of family reunions with David.
    Our hearts are broken and we are sending prayers for strength, grace and support in the times ahead.

    Sandra Melton says:

    Very Deepest condolences to David’s wife, sons, and family. Hearing about the loss of David has been shocking. He was a wonderful person and so dedicated to his family and his career. He loved his family dearly and glowed just talking about them. He was dedicated to helping his clients in their investments and when he didn’t talk to one over a period of time, he made sure that we all knew where our Investments stood. He planned to be around to watch over our assets as long as we needed him. Prayers are being said over and over for his family. May God give each of you strength.

    Patrick Smetek says:

    David was a friend and a coworker. He always had a positive outlook and loved talking about his sons and sports and hunting and fishing. He will be deeply missed by our entire Sunbelt family and will forever be in my prayers.

    Marlys J Williams says:

    I am so saddened. Words cannot express my sympathy to Caroline, their sons, parents, and extended family members. God Bless you during this difficult time.

    Lauri Donnelly says:

    David was an awesome person to know. I am a client of his but he made me feel like family. David was always checking on me knowing I had health issues, making sure I was taking care of myself. He always filled me in about his family and how they were doing. David went the extra mile to put every ones needs before his own. He was crazy about his kids as he knew I am about mine, and of course his wife too. He has always been there for my financials needs no matter what day or time. He will be greatly missed.

    Cindy Carlin says:

    I am deeply saddened to hear of the death of David. He had been my financial advisor for at least 11 years. After my divorce he drove 2 hours to my house to explain all of the financials to me. We could have taken care of this over the phone, but he chose to sit down with me to explain everything. I appreciated that so much.
    Prayers for the family.

    Sue Landry says:

    David was truly one of a kind. So dedicated to his family and to all who had the pleasure of knowing him. You couldn’t talk with David without Caroline, one of the boys and usually ALL of his family coming up in the conversation. He loved for his family! We are sending prayers of comfort for the entire family. What a blessing it was to know such a wonderful person. He will be very missed.

    Rachael Coe says:

    David was a great guy, I too am a friend and client. This news saddened my heart ❤️ thinking about his boys and Caroline.
    Prayers for his mom, dad and his lil family.
    He was always excited to talk about his boys and baseball, this is just terribly sad.
