He loved the outdoors and spending time at his cabin in Scofield Utah, riding the ATVs through the Utah the mountains with the grandkids, spending time with family and friends.
He loved the airline and air freight business, working for Emery Airfreight and UPS. He even resigned from a job with the FBI to work for the airlines. His favorite times was working for the original Frontier Airlines were he met his greatest life-long friends. The nightshift crew was absolutely the best!
Later he attended the University of Utah and became a stock broker for Fidelity Investments, but the airlines were in his blood and called him back. He went to work for UPS Airfreight so that he could work nights while Charlotte worked days at the Garden Center, this way the kids would always be with family not day care.
David had a larger than life personality, instantly energizing and commanding any room he walked into. With a booming voice, infectious laughter and a good looking smile, all that met him loved him. He never went anywhere not making a friend.
Our beloved Husband, Father, Papa and Friend will forever be missed and live in our hearts.
I will always love you Dave!
