Our beloved father, grandfather, and great-grandfather, David Cannon Piggott, passed away at his home on May 15, 2010. He resided at 885 East Millstream Way (1450 South) in Bountiful, Utah at the time of his death.
David was born in Glenco, Wyoming on January 20, 1923 to William C. and Hazel R. Piggott, the sixth of seven children.
David's childhood coincided with the Great Depression. In order to make ends meet, he helped his father in the blacksmith shop. The large family lived in a sturdy, two-room, log home with no plumbing, a pump for water outside, and a path to the outhouse; it was crowded. He hitchhiked to Salt Lake City with a friend, determined to make something of his life.
He began studies at LDS Business College before being drafted into the US Army in 1943. David was a decorated veteran of World War II, serving in the Philippines. He went to college after the war on the GI Bill and graduated from the University of Utah in June 1951.
Shortly after, on June 22, 1951, he married his beloved Phyllis Norris in the Salt Lake Temple. Together they raised six children in their home in Bountiful Utah.
David worked in many different fields of business; the majority of his career was spent in the banking industry. After retirement in 1983, he devoted his full time to real estate development and investments.
David was a devoted member of the LDS Church who served as an ordinance worker at the Bountiful Temple as well as filling many other callings. His passionate hobby was genealogy, he even travelled to England searching for distant ancestors. On any fair weather day, he could be found on the golf course or at the fishing hole. He and Phyllis travelled widely and often. More than anything, they enjoyed time with their extended families and a good game of cards.
David is survived by his six children, Rori (Nancy), Karen Piggott-Brenner, Joanne Piggott, Laureen Wilson, Nathan (Bonnie), and Richard (Angie), thirteen grandchildren, and one great-grandchild. He was preceded in death by his wife, Phyllis, his parents, and his siblings.
