David Allen Lavender, who passed away in 2021, will have his ashes launched into space as part of a Celestis Memorial Spaceflight mission called Serenity. Scheduled for mid-2025, the mission fulfills his lifelong dream of becoming an astronaut. Lavender had an immense passion for space, defining his life through rocketry and sci-fi. He once built his own rockets and a model of the International Space Station for educational purposes. The launch will occur from Cape Canaveral, Florida, utilizing a SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket.
Ever since he was young, David wished to be an astronaut. He had a deep love and infatuation with all things space-related.
We are honored and pleased to have David on board Serenity. Our memorial spaceflights are tributes to a life well-lived and to those who are reaching the stars.
