About David

David was an energetic young man who had big ideas about changing the world. He was intelligent, funny, and compassionate. He had many interesting hobbies from the time he was a small boy. In more recent years, he loved mountaineering, summiting Mt. Whitney, The Grand Teton, and Longs Peak, among others. He was interested in becoming an investor and entrepreneur and was an early proponent of cryptocurrency.

 

David was a graduate of Hoggs Hollow Preschool & Kindergarten, Palm Crest Elementary, La Canada Junior High School, and the Fusion Academy. David was a student at Brigham Young University.

David will truly be missed. He is remembered as a meticulously dressed, well-spoken young man with a large vocabulary and an equally large number of quips at the ready.

​
