Stand In The Door! Hey I’m Outta Here!

Born July 1st, 1941 to his parents Carlos & Katherine Chavez in Salt Lake City Utah. Very proud to have been a part of the family’s farming operation which began in Hunter Utah, ending in Riverton Utah. Class of 1959 Bingham High School, attended Utah Trade Tech School and obtained an Electronic Technician Certification. He then forged onto working for AT&T Long Lines & US West, Etc. He proudly served the Utah National Guard 19th Special Forces Green Beret (Airborne) Special Forces Communication. Though he had many challenges in life he met them with a can do attitude & succeeded with the tasks given.

He married the love of his life “Little Lady” Lydia Villalobos April 24, 1965. He is survived by his children, Joanna K. Timothy, Daughter-In-Law Lisa Chavez (Jim) Chatwin. Grandchildren, Harrison Timothy, Donovan Timothy, Megan Timothy, McKenzie (Ripken) Guevara, Dylan D. Chavez, Tyler Chatwin, and Jordan (Niki) Chatwin.
Siblings, Sarah (Larry) Nifong, Roger (Gail) Chavez, Raul (Luanne) Chavez, Rebecca (Martin) Houck.
David’s son Douglas proceeded him in death and his wife Lisa wonderfully remarried Jim Chatwin. He would do anything for his grandchildren.

Thanks to all who were in his life, both good & those he questioned.

“Hey that’s what this life is all about! Gotta Love Them All & I mean that”.

Thank you for everything you’ve done for me and the family. I can’t think of someone more honorable or caring. Thank you for such a great influence on my life. I still have the book you gave me when I was a kid; Rich Dad Poor Dad by Robert Kiyosaki. I will always remember and live by the phrase repeated to me, “ take care of # 1.”

Lydia and Family,
i am sorry to hear of David's passing. He was such an extraordinary person. He gave his best in whatever he was doing. He enjoyed life and LOVED his family.
"Eternal rest, grant unto him O Lord. and let perpetual light shine upon him. May he rest in peace. Amen. May his soul and the souls of all the faithful departed, through the mercy of God, rest in peace. Amen."
And "I mean that"

I loved Dave. He was a great person with such a big heart❣ When I seen him at work in Salt Lake City, Utah, always greeted me with a hug and smile. You'll be missed. Have many pictures of him over the years but I'll have to find them. Sorry I missed the service, had other obligations on Friday. Prayers for all the family to get through this difficult time. 🙏 RIP DAVE!

- DON IPSON

I just learned of Dave's death. I'm sure you miss him dearly. I am so grateful for the many Sundays the two of you would drop me off at my parents farm as I was teaching myself to play organ at the church. Your kindness certainly assisted me in seeking God and becoming a religious. I will remember you in prayer. How are you doing? When I am on my home visit, I attend some of the weekday Masses at St John the Baptist. I go when I have access to a car. I have managed to get to Logan. Several of the retired professors have died in the past few months. They were pillars of the parish. I have known them for eighteen + years.
May God enfold all these people into his loving arms. God's Peace!
