My sincerest condolence to David's family & friends. I had the pleasure of working with David on a number of grants from the Round Up Foundation & LPEA to benefit local Veterans. David's passion to help Veterans was evident and infectious. His kind and generous spirit will be missed.

My condolence to the Family of David Coates. I had the pleasure of seeing David every morning at 6:00 am at the Durango Sports Club. David would come in and as we all are in the morning a little grumpy and I would say good morning and David would just hum bug. One day I open the door and said to him ok Mr. Coates you cannot come in until there is a smile on your face. He smiled then and he smiled everyday after that. WE will miss him. But our prayers are with his family. RIP Coates.
Love...
