David Ladd Obituary

Obituary published on Legacy.com by Yampa Valley Funeral Home on Jan. 20, 2026.
Beloved husband, father, grandfather, uncle, brother, and dear friend, David Ladd passed away on January 17th, 2026, at the age of 89. David was born and raised in St. Louis, Missouri and lived his retirement years in Boulder and Steamboat Springs Colorado. His love for all things outdoors and his love of engineering was only surpassed by the love he had for his family. The seventy year relationship he had with his wife and soulmate Alice, was like no other. They shared an unbreakable bond. The times Dave and Alice spent hiking and enjoying the serene beauty of the mountains brought out the happy free spirit that defined him. Dave is survived by son Matt, daughter Kathy, daughter in-law Kris, and grandchildren Tyler, Kara, Katy, and Thomas, and brother Bill. A memorial service will be held at Crist Mortuary in Boulder, Colorado (3395 Penrose Place) on Monday, January 26th at 10:30 MST.

To the Family,
Sending deepest sympathies at the passing of David. He was truly one of the kindest people I have ever met! Both he and Alice were wonderful neighbors and I will never forget either one for their generosity, positivity, genuine caring, interesting conversations and authentic smiles.
Wishing you all peace moving forward.
Sincerely,
