January 31, 1958 – April 3, 2026

Dr. David Eric Condon (68 years) died Friday April 3, 2026, in the comfort of his home and with the love and care of his cousin, Jeff Peterson. He graduated from the University of California, Davis, then attended California School of Podiatric Medicine in San Francisco where he earned a Doctor of Podiatric Medicine (DPM) degree. After an early career at El Camino Hospital in the Bay Area, Dave established a Podiatry practice in Truckee, California. For 32 years he successfully led that practice, serving thousands of patients in the greater Tahoe Basin. He also opened a second office in Incline Village. Dave considered his medical practice to be his greatest accomplishment in life. It brought him great sorrow that, as he prepared to retire, no successor could be found to continue the work he was so proud of.

Dave was a lover of the outdoors and of animals. He was happiest carving turns on the mountains and camping, hiking, and biking his way up and down the Sierras, often with his trusty golden doodle companion, Hobie. Hobie was also Dave’s medical office mascot for more than a decade, loved by many. Dave was an avid supporter of the Humane Society of Truckee Tahoe; they noted that he was “always in their corner.” One of Dave’s other passions was the game of tennis, which started as a youth playing with his parents. As an adult, Dave found great joy in playing in The United States Tennis Association Leagues, often representing his home club, Tahoe Donner. He valued the camaraderie, going from battling fiercely on court to having an IPA and great laughs with his teammates and opponents after the matches. Dave also captained the team, curating lineups and motivating the team with his competitive enthusiasm. He led his team to win the Reno/Tahoe league four of the six years he captained.

With over 20 years of playing in the league, Dave’s tennis prowess, generosity with medical care, dedication to the team, and most importantly, friendship, will always be remembered by all who played by his side and across the net. When it was time to take a break and get away, The Big Island was the place for Dave. He spent many happy vacations there during his lifetime, sampling microbrews and swimming with local fish, turtles, and dolphins. Dave is survived by his cousins Jeff Peterson, Rachael Peterson, Matthew Peterson, and Kenneth Arnopole. He was preceded in death by his parents, Bob Condon and Sylvia Condon. Dave was a wonderful son, husband, cousin, and friend. He will be missed by many. One of the last things Dave texted to his former wife and close friend, Marie Borges, was: “Time is the most valuable commodity. Live life large. I know you will!” Dave elected to go quietly and without fanfare. He may be remembered with a donation to The Humane Society of Truckee Tahoe. https://hstt.org/
