The founder of Westgate Resorts, David Siegel, has died at 89, according to the company.

Siegel founded the timeshare resort company in 1982 and oversaw its expansion from Orlando to Miami Beach and outside of Florida to locations in Arizona, Virginia and Utah, among others.

In a release, Westgate Resorts Chief Executive Officer Jim Gissy said, "David worked hard to leave us a company that will continue to preserve its family origins, and the significant resources and ambition to instill joy in the lives we tough through the hospitality we provide."

Siegel and his wife Jacqueline founded Victoria's Voice Foundation after their daughter Victoria died of a drug overdose in June 2015. The foundation seeks to prevent substance abuse and drug overdose deaths.

In a Facebook post , Seminole County Sheriff Dennis Lemma said, "Not only was he an incredible entrepreneur and businessman, but his advocacy work following the tragic loss of his daughter, Victoria, to an overdose has profoundly changed the landscape of addiction awareness and treatment." Lemma serves as a board member on the Victoria's Voice board of directors. He continued, "Rest in peace, David. You will be deeply missed. You will leave behind an incredible legacy."

A celebration of life will be held for Siegel in the coming days.
