David Elmo Earl passed away peacefully on Sunday, August 12, 2018, surrounded by loved ones in Ogden, Utah. David was born to Elmo and Patricia Earl on May 24, 1942, at LDS Hospital in Salt Lake City, Utah.
He graduated from Granite High School in 1960, where he was active as both a cheerleader and a diver. After graduating from school, David served in the United States Army, stationed in Germany. Throughout his life, David had a taste for adventure, shown through his love of motorcycles. His favorite things we will all remember and cherish include cowboy boots, Jelly Belies, rock salt, being a diving coach, reading, and his love for his family. David was a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.
