David Edward Masten, 51

David Edward Masten, 51, passed away unexpectedly April 16, 2017, in Rathdrum, Idaho. He was born Aug. 24, 1965, to John and Ruth Masten in Coeur d’Alene. David grew up in Hayden, Idaho, and graduated from Coeur d’Alene High School.

Growing up he was part of a roller skating team and loved to ride his dirt bike and unicycle. David was not a huge man but had a huge, kind heart. Some of his past jobs included baking pies at Pioneer Pies in Coeur d’Alene and Frontier Pies in Salt Lake City, Utah. After these jobs, he owned and operated his own pest control business in Salt Lake City. He was a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. The past several years, he resided in Rathdrum.

David is survived by his loving parents, John and Ruth Masten of Hayden Lake; brother Don (Wendy) Masten of Coeur d’Alene; sister Jane Masten of Coeur d’Alene; son Zachary Masten of Sandy, Utah; granddaughter Violet Masten of Sandy; and very special friend, Sue Miller, of Rathdrum and her son, Noah. He is also survived by many nieces and nephews.

David was preceded in death by his son, Nicholas Robert Masten, who died of SIDS; sister Karen Evans and Karen’s daughter, Hope Rebecca Smith, who also died of SIDS.

A memorial service will be held at a later date.
