“David was like a brother to me, we spent a lot of time together during his college years and pre marriage years. David was not the tallest player on the basketball court but he was smart player and I set a lot of screens for his accurate set shot., nothing but net. We spent a lot of time fishing up East Canyon and Strawberry Reservoir. He was a sports enthusiast And loved his University's of Utah Utes. We attended many Utes football and basketball games. My condolences to Dixie and family,”
