       David Horowitz, a conservative commentator, author and activist,   
       died on Tuesday at the age of 86, according to the David Horowitz   
       Freedom Center, the conservative think tank he founded.   
      
       Horowitz died after a lengthy battle with cancer, the center   
       wrote on X.   
      
       "On behalf of the David Horowitz Freedom Center, we are very   
       saddened to announce the passing of the Center's founder, David   
       Horowitz," the center said.   
      
       His son, Benjamin Horowitz, a co-founder of the venture capitalist   
       firm Andreessen Horowitz, shared an obituary on social media   
       highlighting his career in media and activism, including several   
       books he wrote and his endorsement of President Trump.   
      
       When the younger Horowitz met Trump last year, he told the   
       president about his father.   
      
       "President Trump's face immediately lit up and he insisted that   
       Benjamin get David on the phone immediately," the obituary   
       reads. "Hospitalized and weak, David was still delighted to   
       speak with the President."   
      
       A former Marxist, the conservative commentator was born in   
       Queens. He earned a bachelor of arts from Columbia University   
       and a master's from the University of California, Berkeley.   
      
       David Horowitz is survived by his wife, April Mullvain, sons   
       Benjamin and Jonathan and daughter Anne. His other daughter,   
       Sarah Rose, died in 2008. Mullvain is his fourth wife.   
      
       "In the end, David helped countless people and expended every   
       fiber of his being pushing society towards freedom," the obituary   
       reads. "He may not have saved the world, but he most certainly   
       made it a better place -- especially for us. He was our super   
       hero and we will love him forever."
