Don't think I will be posting any thing this week on cancer. It time for me to put it back in safety deposit box. This will only be a few short lines on it. I want to know about history of it. It was even back in Egypt days. Look like it was found on mummies. Shortly after 1900's mechanism of cells growing and changing. But today with science has a better understand and treatments. But still dealing with it seems to bring up my anxiety. So it time for me to put back in safety depoist box for a while.
We are grieved to announce that David Elliot Wiley, 33, born in Logan, Utah, and residing in Bonners Ferry, passed away unexpectedly at around 6 p.m. November 26, 2021, as a result of a tragic train accident. Memorial services will be held at 2 p.m. Saturday, December 11, at The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, 6568 Alderson Lane, Bonners Ferry. The family is hoping to set up a Zoom or live feed for those who wish to participate virtually.
David grew up in Cache Valley, where he enjoyed skateboarding, the outdoors and making friends. Despite deep personal obstacles, his life began to thrive when he moved to North Idaho and began a family with XXX , marrying in June, 2021.
David was a proud and loving father of his and XXX son, XXX, two years old. He was thrilled to welcome a baby girl, due in February. He recognized what a blessing it was to provide for his family and enjoyed his employment at Caribou Creek Log and Timber Homes.
David had a beautiful way about him that saw the good in others and he made them feel seen and special. He was genuine in every way. He was witty and funny and unique; a rare sparkle in this world that will sorely be missed.
His widow describes him as "a great husband and an amazing father." He will be remembered for the positive impact he had on those around him and not defined by his personal struggles.
David is preceded in death by his older brother, Ike Shropshire, step-mother Ruby Spencer and grandparents.
He is survived by his beautiful wife XXX and their unborn daughter, son, XXX, mother XXX, father XXX, sister XXX and husband XXX, brother XXX and wife XXX, step-siblings and spouses, many in-laws including sister-in-law XXX and husband XXX, brother-in-law XXX, nieces and nephews; aunts and uncles; cousins and countless friends.
Where the XXX, this people are still alive and I don't use people really name in my blog post. But since Dave is no longer with us. To me, it ok to use his name now. Dave and I didn't agree much when it came to politics. But that didn't matter he was willing to show respect to me, ready to give hug. First time I meant him. I was going down and to get some food boxes and was willing to help me. And continue to help and make people life better. I will miss him.
It been a while since I got into a well being conversation. I haven't been to an overeaters anonymous for a while. But I still read there books. I just finish reading about humility. I have to say it was a diffucult chapter for me. I understand about being humble and even phrase "eating humble pie" OA has work book and the chapter I had hard time with it. One of the question in work book was...Question time...What do you do when you make mistake? Knowledge my shortcoming and or my mess up. Get back on track, and apologized to who I wronged.
For a while I was going though alphabet and now I'm letter "V" value is word I'm using. I find it sad how some people put value on material things. Not what there soul and or spirit offers.

Sad to read about Dave
ReplyDeleteSuch a devastating tragedy losing such a young man!
ReplyDeleteA sad thing, to die so young, and to have an unborn child who will never know her father. I am sorry for the loss of this young man, your friend. Alana ramblinwitham.blogspot.com
ReplyDeleteIt is sad we humans often value the material things over the intangible, love, family community.
ReplyDeleteWe are so very sorry to hear about David, our prayers to his family.
ReplyDeleteMay the young man rest in peace.
ReplyDeleteWas David Liz's son? You mentioned her son was in a train accident...
ReplyDeleteThere is a fascinating book on cancer called The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks. It's about Mrs. Lacks' life as well as the cancer that killed her and the use of those cancer cells in cancer research. I'm not sure if you want to read it now, however.
Yes Dave is Liz son.
Deleteso sorry to hear about Dave, he seems like such a good character for family friends and community.
ReplyDeleteMay David rest in peace. Hugs. Have a good day.
ReplyDeleteThat was a sad but beautiful epitaph for Dave. Blessings to his family and may he rest in peace.
ReplyDeleteIt is indeed a shame we aren't less materialistic on this planet - I have learned that when you don't have something non-essential but desirable, you think you really want it, but when you get it, the novelty wears off - half the fun is in saving up, waiting and doing without!
I'm so sorry to read about that beautiful young man losing his life at such a young age. RIP David., xxx
ReplyDeleteBeautiful tribute to Dave.
ReplyDeleteSad to read about Dave! Valerie
ReplyDeleteI am sorry about David. A silly mistake I suppose, and we all make them. It is reminder to us to hate their politics but that doesn't mean they are a bad person.
