David Sharp Obituary

David Carl Sharp

1942 - 2025

Salt Lake City, UT-David didn't want an obituary with a lengthy list of accolades and life achievements or a long, sad funeral. However, he didn't say that he would mind a notice of his death in the newspaper. So, on that technicality, it should be said that he was loyal, kind, and funny. He will always be loved and never be forgotten.

Dave was one of my Dad's, Jerry Trapp, best friend and golf buddies. He helped spread his ashes at a favorite hole at Mountain Dell. My husband, Frank, and I enjoyed many Sundays golfing with them. Dave was the king of finding golf balls, and I'd come home with seemingly dozens. He was a great man and will be missed. Our condolences to Janet and family, Lise Trapp Herriott

David taught me to fish and play guitar. I have advanced on both. He was the best bro he could be and I hope to be a good of an example and support as he was for all!!!

through our High school years at South High.

High School.

I will always remember working in the daycare below his office. He´d peek in and say hi every day, bring me sandwiches, and movie memorabilia for the kids to play with. Love you uncle David!

So sad to see the last of my `Old Guys´ foursome, Jerry Trapp, John Zaccheo and myself-disappear. Hope they still have tee times in Heaven and you´re still doubling the bet before the last hole ends.

Hi Dave, when I was a young girl you were my idol. So handsome. I have so many great memories of you, Carol, Ron and I from third east. The big back yard, the apple tree. The comic books. Mr. Mann. Trixie. Sleeping on the back porch. I remember when you left to join the Air Force. I love you big brother and have and will miss you dearly. Your biggest fan Beet doot. Debbie

That's Great Janet...
You are loved and appreciated. David loved you and was lucky to have you as his wife. I'm sure you feel lucky as well. Handsome and funny and polished. He is forever in my heart, as are you. Thank you for being so good to Our Brother. Always Fun to be around, my brother Dave.
Love you, thank you
Always, Carla
