Awards, Accolades, and Appreciation

Every year, David and I enjoy the annual barbecue and recognition program for the Utah County Search and Rescue—David's been an active member for more than 20 years, and the friendships he has there and the incredible work they do together truly defines him. I love seeing him in his element and am always so grateful that he has such a desire to help those who are lost, missing, or hurt, and to bring peace to their loved ones. This is an incredible group of people!


At this year's event, David was also honored with a special award—as the Utah County Search and Rescue Member of the Year. He's never sought the spotlight or any type of recognition for his work, and that's exactly why he deserves this award! He serves with conviction and unwavering dedication (always has!), with his only goal to serve others. I could not have been more proud of him—congratulations, David, you truly deserved this! I love you with all my heart.
