Honoring a Tree Care Legend

David Mauk, Feb. 1974 – May 2026

Our industry lost a valued member this week with the passing of David Mauk.  We remember an outstanding arborist who understood how vital trees are and how they are worth protecting, preserving and caring for them.

He shared his wisdom and unbridled passion with all who were lucky enough to cross his path.  He was a person of faith and family and will be sorely missed.   

From Sachin Mohan, publisher of ArborTIMES™ and show manager of ArborEXPO™: 

“I’ve known David for over 20 years. His intellect, humor, and warmth were unforgettable. He was a passionate and amazing person. We lost a hero. We will miss him.”
