He who has gone, so we but cherish his memory, abides with us, more potent, nay, more present than the living man. ~Antoine de Saint-Exupery

Dave and Kristin moved to Roy and had two beautiful girls Gracie and Jade. They recently moved to Arizona to find their own little paradise.

From the time he was a young boy he had determination and the ability to do anything he put his mind to. He was a hard worker and was very successful as an Allstate insurance agent. He was an amazing water skier, wake boarder, and an avid runner. His greatest pleasure in life was to be a father and husband. He loved his wife and girls more than anything.

He leaves behind his sweet wife Kristin, and two daughters Gracie and Jade, siblings Bart (Stacey), Stephanie (Korey), KeeLee (Eric), Tawnya (Mark), Lynndee (Mike), Richard (Sherrie), and Creed (Lacey). Parents Steve and Merla Naylor, Grandmother ElNora Naylor. Some of his last words were, “It’s not goodbye. We’ll see each other again.” So we say to you Dave, we love you and we’ll see each other again. He was our Superman and he will be truly missed until we are together again. Dave touched the lives of many people with his sense of humor and zest for life.
