It was saddening to hear about Dave's passing. I loved having Dave as a home teacher. It seems like he always had our family laughing by the time he was leaving. I remember going caving with Dave and the ward. I remember being excited and not scared due to the confidence in our leaders and guides like Dave. It was an awesome activity!

Kristi, Linda and family,
I´m sorry to hear of David´s passing. He was a great cousin with a lot of fun memories of Lake Powell and Bear Lake. Most of all the Christmas Piñata!

Thinking of you all!

We are saddened to hear of Dave's passing....I've known Dave for many years since I moved into his boyhood neighborhood in the early 80s. We loved his parents who lived next door, and it was always nice to visit with Dave when he was visiting them. Our heartfelt condolences to Kristi and family as well as to Linda.

I didn't know Big Dave well, but he was a joy to be around and was a very good man! He'll be missed!

I´m so sorry to hear of David´s sudden passing. I was lucky enough to meet David, Kristi, Marc, and Shelbe on a whitewater rafting trip (of course!). ;) David loved his family so much and was happy to share fun family stories. Again, I´m sorry for our loss, but David is surely enjoying eternal joy!
