David A Hassler

David was born in 1977 to Shana Beth Park and George Andrew Hassler at the LDS hospital in Salt Lake City, Utah.  The youngest of three siblings, David did his growing up in Glendale, Utah.  

He was an avid artist as a child, which carried on into adulthood and grew into a love of designing and getting tattoos.  Though David's epilepsy kept him from working, he still held dreams of buying, repairing and flipping cars.  His enthusiasm for this desire to work on cars stemmed from his love of driving anything fast.  This was evident even as a young boy, when he could be found skateboarding, riding his bike, or roaming the neighborhood on his big wheels trike, in cowboy boots.  All who knew him knew he loved big, fast cars.  

But the absolute loves of his life were his three children; Isaiah Thomas Hassler, Tyson Joseph Hassler and Alivia Jean Hassler.  Once his children were born, they took the primary place in his heart and became his sole focus.  He was a devoted father who loved teaching Isaiah and Tyson about cars, and Alivia about what a man should be.  Though he has been ripped from our lives as a seizure finally claimed him on June 1, 2024, and the hole he has left in our hearts can never by filled, our love for David will carry us through the rest of our days as will our memories of him.  

He is survived by his mother, Shana Beth Park; his father, George Andrew Hassler; his older brother Mark Andrew Hassler; his older sister, Cheri Lynn Mercer; his sons Isaiah Thomas Hassler and Tyson Joseph Hassler and his daughter Alivia Jean Hassler;  He is also survived by many nieces and nephews.  

He is  preceded in death by his grandparents, Herman Hassler and Thelma Romano, Avon Park and Hazel Park and his best friend since childhood, Joey Bishop.
