I met David while he was Chief Pilot at Louisana Pacific, as a young pilot at just 21years old he allowed me to fly in the corporate jet in the jump seat. Remember it like it was just yesterday. Rest in peace kind and generous man. I´m sure you´re missed by many. God Speed!

I only met David briefly one time thru my father Marvin Bryan. My father told me that he gave David his first airplane ride at Sonoma county Airport. Then from that time David was in love with aviation. He inspired me to become a pilot and I always admired him for the ferry flights from Kansas to Australia. And later as chief pilot for Boise Cascade. May he rest in peace, I'm sure he will be missed.

David, I will always remember your love of motorcycles and how that inspired me to someday ride my own. I will never forget your old Triumph project bike that you restored in the mid 1980's. Today as I ride my own 2010 Triumph Bonneville T100 down the road I will know that you too are riding your dream motorcycle in the sky. God Speed.

You were the brother I never had, Bubba. May the sun always shine on your face and the wind always be at your back.

Steve and I are so terribly sorry to hear of David's passing. We will think fondly of the few rides we were able to accompany David and Rick and their friends on. David was a true gentleman, very generous and extremely capable on a motorcycle.
AdMo-Tours will not be the same without knowing we would get a yearly call from the Dix group. Rest in peace David, and our sincere condolences to his family. Thank you, Rick for keeping us in the loop.
