David C. Westley Master Canyon Lodge 1988
David
C. Westley 1942 ~ 2007 With a passion for life and an insatiable
curiosity for knowledge,
David
Carroll Westley was never short of adventure. The diagnosis of
pancreatic cancer in October served only to invigorate his quest to fill
his hands with a fishing rod or shotgun. David died peacefully at home
in Thursday's early hours, his wife Nanette by his side. He was
65-years-old. Born on July 1, 1942 in Salt Lake City, Utah, David spent
his childhood getting into, or "weaseling" out of, mischief. At 17, he
joined the United States Armed Forces and served in Korea and Germany.
He often bragged that the Army gave him a tank before he had a civilian
driver's license. After fulfilling his tour honorably, David returned
home and lived much of his 20s as a free spirit. He spent a summer
working in Hawaii and worked a multitude of jobs in Utah including
railroad brakeman, Salt Lake County Sheriff's Deputy and lumberyard
foreman. He received his welding skills from the Utah Technical Trade
Institute. Those skills led him to the shipyards of Boston where in 1971
he would meet and, 11 days later, marry Nanette DiMino Westley in
Sharon, Massachusettes. They moved to Utah shortly after and built a
life together. Their trips to Florida during their retirement were some
of the happiest times together. Their son, Michael Nathan Westley, was
born in March of 1975 and soon became the pride of David's life. The two
took many trips together hunting, camping, fishing, snowmobiling or
scuba diving where David's two greatest strengths - as a teacher and
father - were ever-present. Shortly before Michael's birth, David gained
employment at the Salt Lake Community College as a welding instructor.
He would remain there for nearly 30 years and would eventually design
the college's metal sculpture curriculum. His artwork adorns buildings
throughout the college's Redwood campus - an everlasting legacy to his
years of faithful service. He received his Bachelor of Science degree
from Utah State University's School of Engineering. David was involved
in several social groups including the Utah Westerners, Mountain Men of
the Wasatch, St. Barbara's Society, The Shriners, Knights of Columbus
and many others. He is a past Master Mason. He formed many close
friendships through these groups and his association with Gallenson's
sporting goods store. David is preceded in death by his parents, Carroll
and Pauline Westley; and two sisters, Shirley Seegmiller and Janet
Dorset. He is survived by his wife and son; along with brothers, Ernest
Jerry Booker (Lerma), Tim Westley (Tupou); and sisters, Charlotte Heinle
(Gerard) and Ilene Safford (Bill); brother and sister-in-law, Richard
and Esther Feagins; godchild, Cameron Presley, and many nieces and
nephews. A funeral Mass will be celebrated at the Blessed Sacrament
Catholic Church, 1700 E. 9800 S., Sandy, Utah, Monday, December 10, 2007
at 10:30 a.m. with a one-hour visitation prior to services. A luncheon
will follow in the Parish Hall. A committal service by the Canyon Lodge
F&AM, will be conducted at the Lake Hills Cemetery Mausoleum, 10055
South State St. Sandy on Tuesday Dec. 11th, at 1 p.m. In lieu of
