Dave spent a lifetime honing his skills in the outdoors. Most of these days were spent on a river in the summer and on skis in the winter. It’s safe to say his three passions in life were his family, backcountry skiing and fly-fishing.







When it came to skiing, Dave was a true veteran. He took to back country skiing long before it’s popularity of today. This would be a novel if I went into his experience, and his understanding of winter travel in the mountains. I will say that Dave always toured as a family man, by this I mean every decision he made out there was based on going home at the end of the day. Countless people credit Dave for their own experience and safety in the mountains, either as first timers learning the ropes or more refined skiers furthering their knowledge. Not only was he an absolute delight to go on trips with, he was an absolute delight to watch. Many ski poles have familiar dents in them from the clapping together as you watched Dave turn skiing into an art form.






Dave’s time on the river is as equally impressive. He is easily one of the most seasoned fly-fisherman out there. Countless people also credit Dave for watching other anglers gets skunked as they are yelling, “got one, fish on”.






Dave was one of a kind, and in his case “kind” is the key word. His calm demeanor made everyone around him enjoy his companionship. Once again I’ll say “countless people” just thank Dave for being Dave.







A memorial fund has been set for Dave’s son.
