David was born in Pueblo, Colorado, to his parents Benjamin and Rachel Perea, on May 17, 1957. He was the youngest of 12 born into the Perea family.

He received his Master's of Social Work from New Mexico Highlands University in Las Vegas, New Mexico. He began his career as a Clinical Therapist and worked in that field for over 25 years. Baboo, as he was known by his loving grandkids, loved being with and playing with his grandchildren and loved to hear them laugh. He enjoyed reading and studying the bible, philosophy, social sciences, religion and anything he could get his hands on. He enjoyed doing everything and anything with his "Lora Lina." He was an anointed therapist and had an impact on countless youth. He had a compassionate and empathetic spirit and made genuine connections with others. With the most unique personality and ornery sense of humor, he was the ultimate prankster.
