David M. Nielson 
3/27/1948 ~ 7/19/2009 

Bountiful - David Merrill Nielson, known as "Dave," age 61, passed away Sunday, July 19, 2009 in Bountiful, Utah. He was born March 27, 1948 in Salina, Utah, the son of Merrill and Louise Nielson. He married Leslie 

Olson Cook in 1975. 

Dave graduated from Skyline High School in 1966. Following this, he served in the U.S. Air Force during the Vietnam War. He then graduated from the University of Utah in 1975 and received his B.S. in Geography. While at the U he was a member of Phi Sigma Kappa and was, to his death, an enormous University of Utah fan. Dave worked at the Salt Lake County Assessor's office for over 30 years as a real estate appraiser. He also passionately collected rare books and Navajo rugs. 

He is survived by his wife, Leslie, daughters Krista and Allison, three grandchildren, and numerous cousins. We hope he has found peace at last.
