Hunsaker "Dax" Before dawn on November 26, 2005 Damien "Dax" Hunsaker unexpectedly died. A young man, just 22-years-old, lived life on his own terms, but whose life was tragically cut short in a house fire that also took the life of his beloved cousin, Carter. Dax was born August 29, 1983 to Jerald and Mariam Hunsaker. He was their only child. As a child Dax was curly haired and toe headed with a disposition that matched the kink in his locks. As he outgrew the curls, he matured into a loving, responsible, selfless young man. He was a proud member of the Jordan High School graduating class of 2002. He later attended business classes at Salt Lake Community College. Dax worked with his father at Covington Capital Corporation and often talked about someday taking over the business. He reveled in the benefit of the "mileage allowance" and volunteered his car for whatever the assignment required. He loved three-day weekends, road trips, hotel sleepovers, fajita parties at his mom's, holidays spent in the St. George condo, power shopping at Costco, detailing his car, movies, video games and his cell phone. How does one use 3,000 minutes of air time a month? He was truly a platinum T-mobile customer. Dax had a tender, kind heart and always sought out to befriend the weakest member of the group. He had a diverse range of friends. No one would ever feel uncomfortable in his presence. He was accepting of all and knew that judgment was not his to make. He taught his parents many lessons - not the least of which was patience. He had a charming, commanding presence, a brilliant smile and was just one handsome dude. He took pride in his appearance and was the consummate gentleman. You always felt important in his company. He loved animals and during his short life had quite a variety. He should tell you the story about the snake that got loose in his dad's Jimmy at Fish Lake. He leaves behind two dogs, Snuffy and Gizmo. He loved his family and was fiercely loyal to them and was never too proud to give his father a hug or tell his mother he loved her. Dax leaves behind his most prized possession; his family. Included therein, his father, Jerald Hunsaker, mother, Mariam (Paul) Kay, grandparents, Thomas and Vilda Hunsaker and Richard (Dona) Bell, four uncles, five aunts and 38 wonderful cousins. Dax is preceded in death by his grandmother Venice Bell. Friends and family are invited to attend a celebration of Dax's life Thursday, December 1, 2005 at the Marriott University Park Hotel, 400 South Wakara Way, Salt Lake City from 6:30 to 8:30 p.m. Graveside services will be held at the Larkin Sunset Gardens, on Friday, Dec. 2, 2005 at 11:00 a.m., located at 1950 East 10600 South, Sandy.

Thomas, David James David James Thomas 1929 ~ 2005 Our sweet husband and dad passed away on November 28, 2005. David James Thomas was born October 30, 1929 in Salt Lake City, Utah. He grew up in Salt Lake City and loved to tell his family stories of sledding down the hills in the "avenues" or sneaking a swim at the Wasatch Springs Pool. Dad was a good athlete and had a particular talent as a baseball player. While working as a groundskeeper at Derk's Field, he met the love of his life Joan Holt, whom he eventually married in the Salt Lake City temple. He graduated from Salt Lake Community College and retired from Hill Air Force Base after 34 years of service. A faithful member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, he held many callings and was also an amazing support for his wife in her callings. No matter how tough the job, you could count on him to see it through to the best end possible. Dad was a great handyman; he could fix anything, and could usually be found under the hood of a car, or crafting something out of wood for one of his kids, or grandkids. Treasured pastimes included whale watching and spending time at the family cabin. We will always smile when we remember the hikes, the campfires and rafting on the salamander pond. Dad was a champ at games and especially at "Skee-Ball". Through the years, he has won countless stuffed animals and prizes for everyone. He is survived by his wife, Joan Holt Thomas, daughters Tracie Hasselbring (Eric) and Laurie Nord (John) and seven grandchildren. We will all miss his sweet smile and steady presence. He was a great man. Services will be 11 am on Saturday, Dec. 3rd at Larkin Mortuary, 260 E. South Temple, where friends may call one hour prior to services. Interment, Salt Lake City Cemetery.
