Steamboat Today - August 16, 2014
David was born & raised in Cincinnati, OH. He enlisted in the army after graduating from high school in 1971 and was honorably discharged in 1979. After leaving the service he moved his family to Steamboat Springs, CO.
David was an easy going person that could talk your ears off. David never knew a stranger. He loved the outdoors, snowmobiling, camping, his horses & his pets.
David's favorite sport was football; both of his sons played for Steamboat Springs and David got involved with helping the coaches but mostly the kids. He was a devout Ohio State Buckeye fan. There was nothing better than watching Buckeye football & basketball on game days. He even became a closet Nebraska fan for his daughter-in-law but would never let her know that.
David is preceded in death by his son David Jr, and his parents Art and Ruth Girty. He is survived by his wife Diane, son & daughter-in-law, Jacob & Elly, his greatest blessing, his grandson, Nicholas Peter and his brother Paul.
A memorial service is scheduled for Tuesday, August 19th at the Hayden High School at 10am.
In lieu of flowers a memorial fund has been set up for his grandson at Mountain Valley Bank in Hayden.
