David Alexander Crosby passed away on June 20,2021 in Murray, Utah at the age of 68. He was born on October 27, 1952, in Farmington, Utah to Byron Barlow and Sophronia Bernice Jamieson Crosby. Dave married Pamela Kay Dellinger on April 29, 1972, at the Seville Reception Center.
Dave’s first and only true love in the world was his high school sweetheart of 52 years, Pamela Kay Crosby. Later, their love grew to his three children, his daughter-in-law and son-in-law, his 6 grandchildren and then his one great grandchild. His hobbies were vast from woodworking, turning rocks, making soap, rosaries, fermenting vegetables, to roasting coffee, coaching sports, to creating a new experimental recipe for dinner. His true passion/hobby in his life was our family bookstore, Our Lady’s Gifts. His enormous heart extended through the Catholic Church, teaching classes, hosting Rosary, readings, and more. Dave was a 3rd Knight of Columbus. His love and best friend, Noopie, was always right by his side! He served honorably in the United States Air Force as Staff Sergeant, David A. Crosby. His passion to learn, lead him to graduate from the University of Utah and Westminster College with a Master’s Degree in Accounting and Business. He never stopped his yearning to learn and grow. He loved to tell story and teach all that would love to learn! We would like to thank everyone at the South Valley Dialysis Center for their kindness love, keeping David alive throughout all these years, along with all of his Doctors and Nurses.

I was very sad to learn of Uncle David passing he was a kind and loving man, I always enjoyed seeing and talking with him at family gatherings.
My thoughts and prays are with you and your family in this time of loss.
Dave was such a beautiful man with a heart of gold he always had a smile on his face, you could feel God’s presence when you were around him.
I knew him from classes he gave at Blessed Sacrament and of course from Our Ladies Gift Store.
May he Rest In Peace 🙏🙏❤️

Although we lost contact with each other I have some great memories of you both (mostly softball with our little girls) and working with you both to build your beautiful home in Sandy. May God bring you peace and comfort. All our love, Jack and Sue
