In his youth, David enjoyed playing outside with his siblings. They would play on rock buttes by the snake river near their home. Avoiding rattlesnakes was common practice during their many adventures on the rock buttes. As children they would swim in the canals to pass the hot summer days. To do so was still safe back then, that was before the introduction of chemicals into the canal water.

By the time David reached adulthood not much had changed, he still loved the outdoors. He enjoyed hunting, fishing, camping, boating, anything that got him out in nature.

David graduated from Minico High School, Rupert, Idaho, in 1960. Shortly after high school he married Carolyn Miller. They had four children; Annette, Alan, Gregory and Brian. David and Carolyn later divorced. David went on to meet and marry Lettie Parker Dockstader on May 7, 1976. Lettie brought four more children to the family; Shawn, Tate, Donita and Wanita. David and Lettie, created a happy home for their new family. The home was always full of love. David instilled many good virtuous values upon his children including working hard, honesty, compassion, integrity, but most of all how to be a loving and kind person. He had a big heart and would help anyone he could. His deep love for his family was obvious in his actions every day. David had an unique love of life and touched many lives with his positive attitude, humor, and his big teddy bear stature. He was truly loved and will be missed by many.
