My condolences to the family. I remember Davey as a young mischievous boy up at the lake. He always had a smile on his face and a sparkle in his eyes. He was a kind person and will be missed by many.
Much Love From

I have always had a vivid memory of David at Steven's Pass on Big Chief. The moguls were high and I was following him wondering how I would make it down. David took off and he blasted through the moguls by rebounding off each one like a pin ball machine. I was in awe of his coordination and ease of going down that big face.
