Service map data © OpenStreetMap contributors He left this life surrounded by his loving wife to Levi and Virginia Larrabee Hunt in Provo his life was filled with lessons on resilience His response to hardships embodied this quote he often shared with his children: “Life is to be enjoyed David was the fourth of six children and grew up in Centerville He contracted polio at the age of two and spent much of his childhood receiving care at Primary Children’s Hospital Part of his care included straightening bones in his feet with braces and aiding his lungs by placing him in an iron lung His parents were able to visit him once a week he anxiously watched out the window for their car only to see them arrive and soon drive away one of his legs was slightly shorter and weaker than the other David would jump up and down on that leg to try to strengthen it and he would have a hard time sleeping because of the pain David would get choked up as he talked about his dad trying to take away the pain so that he could sleep David treasured the strong bond he had with his siblings and parents Some of his favorite times with them included camping behind Timpanogos and trips to Yellowstone He also enjoyed their Sunday drives with his grandma Larrabee to the Uinta Mountains starting his first job at Dick’s Market at the age of twelve which is remarkable considering the way polio affected his leg One of his greatest achievements and memories was winning the All-Church Basketball Tournament with his cousin Brian and neighborhood friends The friendships forged among these boys continued throughout their lives David threw his heart and soul into serving the people of Houston as a missionary for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints After attending BYU and working for Zion’s Bank he met and quickly fell in love with Diane Richins Diane knew she wanted to marry David when she watched him play with and care for his nephews and nieces – she had no doubt he would be an incredible father They were married in the Salt Lake Temple in 1977 and made their home in West Bountiful They raised six children and built a beautiful life They loved the people in their neighborhood so much that Many of their neighbors became lifelong friends and camping companions Those friends often accompanied the Hunt family on expeditions to Capitol Reef which he later bought from his uncles and dad He loved his customers and took pride in the trust they had in him worked as his secretary; he appreciated that time with her so much They loved the opportunity to visit church properties on and around Temple Square and spraying trees at numerous Forest Service campgrounds David’s greatest passion was his kids (and later his grandkids) He loved life and taught them to take pleasure in the simple but it’s nicer to stay in bed.” He made the perfect pancakes flipping them when he’d counted 30 bubbles in the batter which he called “The Devil’s Tool.” He cheered for (and sometimes yelled at) the BYU Cougars He loved listening to the rain on the roof of the camp trailer and playing late-night Monopoly games by lamplight If there was an impressive lightning storm in the middle of the night he would wake everyone up and pull them out of bed so that they could huddle together on the front porch and enjoy it Every night he made sure that Diane got some alone time—he sat in the upstairs hallway in between the girls’ and boys’ bedrooms Everyone would hurry to get ready for bed so they wouldn’t miss “The Lion and the Wardrobe,” or his original adventures of a young Indian maiden named Little Fawn David could be found driving up to the family property He made everything about going up Cottonwood fun starting with opening the yellow gate at the bottom of the canyon Hunting and hiking; snowmobiling and four-wheeling; camping with the whole family or just one lucky kid; pushing the grandkids on the swings and teaching them to drive the four-wheelers—it was his favorite place to be Countless hours were spent making improvements and making memories when David became too sick to ride up the bumpy road his nephew Curt flew him up in one of his helicopters giving him a view of the mountains he loved so much David couldn’t understand much of what was going on but when we told him that Curt was going to take him on a helicopter ride wanting to put on his shoes and coat so that he wouldn’t miss out on this lifelong dream his only concern was that all the kids and grandkids got a ride as well His last trip up Cottonwood was one his family will never forget but mighty testimony of the gospel of Jesus Christ and looked for opportunities to help others and volunteering to be one of the priesthood brethren at girls’ camps when his girls were there he was thrilled to be able to take several scout groups on high adventure camps after spraying an apartment for a family that had fallen on hard times he invited the West Bountiful 5th Ward to donate everything the family needed to furnish their apartment and live comfortably for several months The response from the ward was overwhelming he learned that the daughter of an acquaintance of his He made it his mission that Fall to help her fill her tag When his children asked him recently what he wanted his legacy to be David and Diane were able to serve for almost three years as inner-city missionaries where they helped refugees in Salt Lake City and built incredible friendships David and Diane honeymooned in Yellowstone and returned with their family at least once a year These trips always included hiking somewhere new (hoping they would have the trail all to themselves) They’d wake up early for the chance to spot animals in the Hayden Valley mist and go out to eat at the Lake Lodge if he could convince Diane to scrap her dinner plans His retirement dream was to work at the Lake General Store David enjoyed eating lunch with the “old boys.” He found a love for photography and took countless pictures of wildlife and his grandkids which he delighted in printing out and sharing with others He cherished his fishing trips with his brothers and boys and any opportunity to be in nature with family and friends He loved building block towers with the grandkids making popcorn with extra butter and watching Hallmark movies with anyone who would watch with him He attended as many of his grandkids’ events as possible and was always interested in their lives He could tell you who got an A on their test and how potty training was going for the preschoolers His kids knew that if they didn’t call or visit him during the day Dad would call them to see how they were doing and get an update on their lives During his last days—and since--tributes have poured in from those whose lives he touched We are all so grateful for his example and influence He is survived by siblings: Richard (Karen) David’s family would like to thank the Enhabit Hospice Team including Linda who educated us on hospice and facilitated a smooth transition; his long-time physician Scott Southworth; his internal medicine doctor Lisani Estopinan; the Kidney Transplant Team at the University of Utah; and all who cared for him at Lakeview Hospital always treating him with dignity and respect We are forever grateful for David’s sister Sherrie who selflessly donated her kidney five and a half years ago We also appreciate her husband Dan and their children who wholeheartedly supported that decision Their invaluable gift gave us more time with him and the chance for several of his grandkids to build memories with a grandpa they would never have met at the West Bountiful 5th Ward building (840 North 800 West with a viewing prior to services from 9:30-10:30 a.m Services will be streamed

Panthers were too good to wilt despite a double-digit second half deficit “They’re just too good of a team to hold down like that and the catalyst wasn’t the player Burton expected Bountiful sophomore guard Maleah Nelson hit back-to-back 3-pointers in a span of 34 seconds — one of which she turned into a four-point play — as her personal 7-0 run helped Bountiful pull away from top seed West 57-47 to secure its third straight state championship West battled back to take a 41-40 lead early in the fourth quarter Milika Satuala hit a jumper to put Bountiful back in front 42-41 and Nelson’s 7-0 outburst pushed the lead to 49-41 “The response didn’t necessarily come from the person I was expecting it would and so I wasn’t surprised she hit those shots either Nelson finished with a career-high 15 points but admitted it took her a while to settle into the game but I just stayed focused and looked to play as a team and just had an opportunity that no one really gets,” she said Satuala led Bountiful with 17 points to go along with her six rebounds Her poise and calmness under heavy pressure from West’s defense was one of the catalysts to the 3-peat she was trying to figure out how to be a passer and assist-getter,” said Burton adding that there was a gradual uptick in her productivity throughout the season but it’s the one that I wanted to work towards and I wanted to play a guard since I was little,” Satuala said all my teammates and coaches and my dad have helped me get to being able to lead the team and control like the tight situations that we get in.” even after falling behind 26-18 at the half and then 32-21 with 5:15 left in the third quarter Led by Kylee Falatea’s five points and four more from Tiana Fa the Panthers cut the deficit to 38-36 by the end of the third and then took that 41-40 lead after a 3-point play from Falatea and a bucket in the paint by Ale Fonoti Falatea finished with a team-high 16 points for West Bountiful star Taylor Harvey wrapped up her decorated high school career with nine points and eight rebounds but struggled with her shot The fact the Redhawks still won by 10 points despite Harvey’s offensive struggles is a testament to the culture Burton has built the past three years It hasn’t been about necessarily who scores or who’s getting any of the glory Burton said one of the unsung heroes for Bountiful was Brynna Castleton who’s defense on Falatea played a key role in holding West to just 35% shooting for the game Roxanne was born to Alvin Clampitt and Birdena Hemmert Roxanne attended college after graduating from high

Association Executive Director Carrie Butler said police in Utah aren’t really able to verify if that person has handed over all their guns "I think some states have a mechanism to create a search warrant to go in and search a home and removes the firearms when somebody becomes restricted but the state of Utah doesn’t have that,” Butler said people who commit intimate partner violence are 40 to 60 percent more likely to commit more violent crimes in the future "You are much more likely to commit a violent offense if you already have committed this interpersonal violence," she said Gill said it’s nearly impossible to predict which suspects will become more violent “There are only a very few restrictions on which we can prohibit your access to a weapon," Gill said The city of West Jordan
