<< BackThe David F. Mobilio Memorial Scholarship
David Mobilio graduated from the Butte College Law Academy in November 1995; and, soon thereafter, became employed at the Red Bluff Police Department as a patrolman. Not only did he feel great pride as he worked the streets protecting his community, he was also able to positively influence the lives of children through his work with the D.A.R.E. program.
While filling in for a fellow officer, David Mobilio was ambushed and fatally shot … just because he was wearing a uniform. David left behind a loving wife and an infant son. A true hero, he possessed undeniable courage, was fiercely determined, and was willing to take risks in order to achieve his dreams, no matter how difficult the journey. David truly believed that the spirit of America lies not only in the opportunity to look up to others as heroes, but also in the chance to be a hero to someone else. In the end, David gave up his tomorrows so that we could have safer todays. Butte College is proud to count David Mobilio as one of our alumni, and one of our heroes. His name is included along with 13 other brave graduates of the Butte College Law Enforcement Academy who lost their life in the line of duty. We are honored to celebrate his memory.
To honor David’s memory, his family and friends have established a scholarship in his name. This tribute to David’s sacrifice will be awarded to a law enforcement cadet who demonstrates superior leadership and perseverance. If you would like to make a contribution to The David F. Mobilio Fund, or wish to establish a memorial scholarship in memory of one of your loved ones, please contact the Butte College Foundation.
