DAVID L. WOLTERS
David “Dave” Wolters, beloved husband, father, grandfather, and great-grandfather, passed away on December 18th, 2025 at his home in Payson, Utah, with his devoted and loving wife, Antonia “Toni” Wolters, by his side.
Dave was born on February 17th, 1945 in Salt Lake City, Utah, into a loving family with three sisters and four brothers. Family was always an important part of Dave’s life, and the bonds he shared with those closest to him remained special throughout his life.
Dave was a hardworking and dedicated man who took great pride in his work and his strong work ethic. He spent many years working at C.B.I. Structural in Salt Lake City before continuing his career at Rayloc in Payson, Utah, where he eventually retired. Throughout his working years, Dave was known as a dependable man who was always willing to work hard and help others.
Dave proudly served his country in the United States Marine Corps. He had a deep love for the outdoors and enjoyed hunting, fishing, and riding his Harley with his wife. In his latter years, some of his happiest times were spent with Toni enjoying their property in Fremont (Wayne County) surrounded by their beloved dogs and the beauty and peace of the outdoors.
Dave was also a talented artist who enjoyed expressing his creativity. Most of all, he treasured his family and the time he spent with them. He was a kind and considerate man who was always willing to lend a helping hand. To the kids in his life, he was the one who would happily put the worm on the hook (no matter how old or young they were) and help them enjoy the experience of fishing.
Dave’s quick wit, humor, and unforgettable one-liners brought laughter to those around him and will be deeply missed by all who knew and loved him.
Dave is survived by his loving wife, Antonia “Toni” Wolters; his two children Kelly Walker, David Wolters; four grandchildren; four great-grandchildren; and one great-great-grandchild.
Dave leaves behind a lifetime of memories, a family who loved him dearly, and a legacy of hard work, kindness, humor, and creativity. He will be deeply missed and forever remembered by all who had the privilege of knowing and loving him.
A Celebration of Life honoring David L. Wolters will be held on Saturday, September 19, 2026, from 1:00 PM to 3:00 PM at Payson City Park, 300 South Main Street, Payson, Utah, at the Northwest Pavilion.
We invite all those who knew and loved Dave to come by during this time to share memories, laughter, and stories as we remember and celebrate his life.
