Westgate Resorts CEO David Siegel had died, his family announced on social media Saturday. He was 89.

A political donor and activist, Siegel focused energy in recent years on addressing the opioid crisis following the death of his daughter Victoria Siegel, who died in 2015 at age 18. Those efforts included launching the Victoria’s Voice Foundation with wife Jackie Siegel.

“Unfortunately my father in law passed away early this morning,” Janessa Siegel posted on Facebook. “I will always miss him and the memories we created. Please keep our family in your prayers.”

Siegel stepped down as CEO of Westgate last year, and the Orlando timeshare company since significantly reduced its workforce.
