Obituary: David Bailey
Dave Bailey passed away peacefully with his family at his side Nov. 2, 2019.
Dave was born in Alamosa, Colorado. When he wasn’t helping with the family ranch, he worked at the local parts store. Dave married Jeanette (Jan) Fowler and they moved to Granby in 1964 and purchased Granby Auto Parts.
They had three children, Kenny, Gary and Tawnya. Over the years, Dave participated in many hobbies, such as flying model airplanes, bowling, fishing, and snowmobiling, only to name a few.
Dave loved all animals, especially his dogs. He also enjoyed feeding and watching the birds, which likewise led to other wildlife venturing into his yard. He had a huge heart and never wanted to see a furry friend in need.
