Dave especially loved spending time with his grandchildren. He loved classic rock concerts, rodeos, traveling the world with his beautiful wife, spending time with friends, playing pickleball, snowboarding, horseback riding, hiking, hunting, and spending time at his ranch in La Veta.
Dave was currently a member at Christ the King Church and Pueblo Pickleball Association.

  18. I’m so sorry Karla 😞. I’m praying for you, as well as Jordan, Tyler and Sara. Some of my most cherished memories of Dave are the Big R baseball days. I loved helping coach the team with Larry. Dave did so much for those kids. They got to experience things as a team that most don’t. It was because of Dave’s generosity that left lifelong memories for them and myself. We were good! I will miss him, but will cherish his memory and friendship.

  21. Karla, Tyler, Jordan, Sarah and family. I am proud that I had a chance to get to know Dave through the Mid States group. He was the kind of guy that could walk in a room and light it up. His passion and energy was a great example to see. I was very sorry to hear of his loss. I hope it provides some solace to know that he brought a lot of light in this world, and I am sure already is doing the same thing in the next. He will be missed. Your family is in our prayers.

  26. CandleImageKarla, Tyler, Jordan, Sara and family. Our thoughts and prayers are with you today and always! While it is impossible not to mourn the loss of a husband, a father and a grandfather, take equal time and effort to rejoice in the life that Dave did live! He lived that life out loud and he lived it well! He has left a legacy in each of you, his business he has created and the Big R families and communities that he has touched! Just know that he has passed on into the hands of the Lord leaving this world in a much better place for having had him in it. No doubt he will do exactly same in his next mission! Godspeed to all of you! Mark, the D&B Team and the Mid States Team
