David S. Shughart II, 65, died Monday, Sept. 8, 2008, in Flagstaff, in the presence of his loving wife, Rosie, after a lengthy battle with esophageal cancer.

Mr. Shughart was born on May 1, 1943, in Carlisle, Pa., to Marie and David Shughart. He and his brother, Greg, spent their younger years in Michigan and Pennsylvania.

He began his legal career as a lawyer for the Securities Exchange Commission in Washington, D.C., and subsequently in Los Angeles. After his first wife, Susan, preceded him in death in 1974, he moved to Arizona and worked in private practice in Arizona, mostly as a sole practitioner.

Mr. Shughart lived a full and adventurous life. He deeply loved and was deeply loved by those close to him. He was one of a kind and will be missed and remembered with cherished thoughts of many wonderful times.

Mr. Shughart is survived by his mother; his wife, Rosie; children David III (Cindy), Jason (Charyece), Brooks (Sarah), Jordan (Jason), and Jarrett; seven grandchildren; and many wonderful family and friends.
