David Saltsman Obituary

Visit the Larkin Mortuary - Salt Lake City website to view the full obituary.
David lived with an entrepreneurial spirit and a natural ability to lead. Throughout his life, David held multiple leadership roles where he didn't just build businesses and teams, he helped build people. He believed deeply in second chances and had a rare gift for seeing potential where others might not. David genuinely wanted to see people win, and many are better for having been encouraged, trusted, and championed by him.

Driven by adventure, David embraced life with energy and curiosity. He found freedom on the slopes while skiing and joy on the trails while mountain biking, always seeking the next challenge or experience. His quick wit and sometimes dark sense of humor were unmistakably his; often catching people off guard, but always delivered with warmth and authenticity. David lived boldly, cared deeply, and left a lasting impact on the lives he touched.

David is survived by his father, Robert Saltsman of St. Petersburg, FL, his mother, Gail Miller of Baltimore, MD, and his daughter, Aryani Odie also from Baltimore.

A celebration of life will be held on Monday, February 2nd, 2026 from 6-8pm at Larkin Mortuary, 260 E. South Temple, Salt Lake City, UT 84111. You may watch the celebration online through Zoom using the "Watch Service" button above.
