David William Adams

Dave moved into the Ensign 6th Ward after building the highest house in the Avenues. He was immediately called to serve as the YM leader to a dozen of the rowdiest boys on earth, me being one of those boys. He was fantastic! We never doubted that he truly cared about each one of us. Despite forecasts to the contrary, all have turned out to be solid citizens. He skied , played sports, and even taught us to do a brake job in his garage one night. As I´ve passed this news on to many of...

I had the pleasure of working with and for Dave at the Department of Community and Development. He was a true gentleman and a terrific boss. My condolences to his family. He will be missed.

Dearest Bonnie and family, Our hearts ache to learn of Dave´s passing. What a wonderful Christ-like man! He touched our lives for good. We are sorry we will be gone for his service. We send our love, condolences and prayers for your comfort at this difficult time. May your strong faith help sustain you.

That picture of Dave must have been taken the very day I met Dave. I returned from my mission in 1972 and noticed a large house overlooking 18th Ave. My first Sunday back Dave introduced himself.

I have so many wonderful memories of "Bishop Dave" and Bonnie. He taught me so much about the Gospel and how to love and serve my fellow Brothers and Sisters. Serving as RS President under him was a joy and a privilege. He truly loved everyone under his stewardship and led by example. I know Bonnie sacrificed many, many hours in support of Dave as he served. RIP my "brother". I can´t wait to see you again at the feet of our Savior.

Living and growing up next to the Adam´s family was some of the best memories. Tending for Bonnie and Dave, skiing every Saturday. Playing in the Playhouse and a quick knock at the door and just walking in was the welcome feeling that I always felt from the family. David rest in peace and my love to all the family Carolyn Erickson Swanagan
