Dave’s greatest joy in life was his family. Whether it was at the lake, running down to St. George, attending grandchildren’s competitions and sporting events, as well as having the infamous “movie night”, he loved spending time with his family as often as possible. Dave also enjoyed golfing, bowling with his league, watching the Utah Jazz, football, especially his Utes & his Cowboys, and just hanging out with friends. Dave & Chona’ loved spending time together, traveling to some “beach” location, one of the many lakes around, St George, or just snuggling up on the sofa together.

“Dave’s greatest joy in life was his family.”

Dave was known for his humor, his generosity, his hospitality, and all-around caring nature. He made an impact on everyone he came in contact with. He was the life of any gathering, telling jokes and entertaining stories or offering his warm smile and hugs to everyone. He loved watching all of the Disney and children’s shows, even if it was just the adults watching!

Dave will be deeply missed by his family, his friends and anyone who was lucky enough to have met him.
