He spent his career thrashing grain n beans, as a logger, a volunteer fireman and drove propane truck. He worked for Idaho Power as a janitor and was also a bus driver.

His hobbies included going to the mountains, camping, ATVing and hunting. This brought him great joy and happiness. David enjoyed sports and played 8 man football (offense and defense) and basketball at Salmon High School. He would watch or listen to most any game but liked the Boise State Broncos and went many times to watch in person. David did number puzzles to stay sharp through the years. Gardening, reading and watching Ol’cowboy movies and shows rounded out his hobbies.

Church and his love for his Savior Jesus Christ guided him through his life. His church family only came second to his actual family.
