DAVID LUNDQUIST

David Ross Lundquist 1930 ~ 2010 David Ross Lundquist passed away on May 2, 2010 from heart and kidney failure. He was 79. Born in Salt Lake City, Utah to Roscoe Alexander and Jean Louise Fowler Lundquist on June 23, 1930, David graduated from South High School where he excelled in sports and played baseball with the state champion Cubs. Going on to play baseball for the University of Utah, David was drafted into the army in 1951 and served in Korea during the war. Returning home from Korea, David met and married Charlene Lillian Rowser in the Salt Lake Temple on June 1, 1956. They had three children and were later divorced. A veteran of the Korean War, David retired from military service with the rank of Major in the Army Reserves and throughout his life imbued in his children an abiding love and reverence for God, family, and country. An educator by profession, David held a bachelors degree and two masters degrees from the University of Utah. He was a long time member of the Crimson Club and was a "Utah Man" through and through. David's career was in education, but his interest was in developing others, especially youth. As a coach and later counselor in the Salt Lake City School District, David's greatest sense of accomplishment was not in administration, but in the youth he coached, taught, and counseled. A faithful member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, David served in many leadership positions, but his most fulfilling callings involved working with youth and coaching the young men to stake and region championships in basketball and softball. Above all, David was a deeply devoted father, known for his soft and subtle humor, and his generous heart. David is survived by his sister Barbara (James) Reed, his children Lori (David) Evans, Susan Lundquist, and David (Kay) Lundquist, a nephew, Michael Reed, a niece, Diana (Bart) Payne, seven grandchildren: Ashlee (Tommy) Chapman, Amanda (David) Noland, Alyssa (Dan) Golden, Ryan Evans, Stephen Lundquist, Scott Lundquist, and Libby Lundquist, and one great-grandchild.
