Winder in Granger, Utah June 8, 1932. David was surrounded by his loving children at the time of his passing. David graduated from Granite High School in 1949. David's time in high school will long be remembered for his campaign for class president during which he led a Jersey Cow, obtained from his families' dairy, through the halls of the school. The campaign, while unsuccessful, resulted in a nickname that followed him for much of his life, "Jers". After graduating from Granite High, David attended the University of Utah from 1951 until 1952 when he joined the United States Air Force. David returned from the service and reenrolled at the University where he obtained his Bachelors Degree and met and married the love of his life Pamela Martin in 1955. After graduation the couple left for California where he attended Stanford University. David graduated from Stanford University with his Juris Doctor. After his graduation from Stanford, David successfully passed the California and Utah Bar. David and Pam returned to Utah where David took a job with the firm Clyde, Mecham and Pratt. While working at the firm David was offered the opportunity to clerk for the Utah Supreme Court, he accepted and served Chief Justice Allen Crockett. In 1959 David left the Supreme Court to work as a Deputy Salt Lake County Attorney. In 1963 David Worked as an Assistant United States Attorney then in 1965 he returned and took the position as Chief Deputy for the Salt Lake County Attorney's Office.

In 1977 David was appointed to the Third District Court by then Governor Scott Matheson and in 1979 President Jimmy Carter appointed David as a United States District Judge for the 10th District. David Served the United States Federal Court in several capacities. He was appointed as Chief Judge in May of 1993 as well as Chair of the Disciplinary Panel. The law was the central element of David's life, he loved his service and all those with whom he associated, that admiration was often returned. David received numerous honors including an Honorary Doctorate Distinguished Alumnus from the College of Humanities, Outstanding Judicial Service Award from the Utah Chapter of the Federal Bar Association, Honorary Order of the Coif conferred by the University of Utah College of Law. David was also named the Best Judge in the Tenth Circuit by the American Trial Lawyer Magazine, 1978 Outstanding Judge of the year by the Utah State Bar Association as well as the 1996 highest rated State or Federal Trial Judge in Utah.

Winder and his wife Shawn Winder, Salt Lake. David will also be grieved by his five beautiful grandchildren Laura Ann, Andrew James, David Patrick, Alexandria Grace and Atticus James and two great-grandchildren Maximus Trout and Victor Huckelberry. David lived a life blessed with work he truly loved and with the company of many friends. He was also unfortunately burdened late in life with the affects of an illness that so many will eventually succumb too. The burdens associated with this illness were made significantly easier by the many friends and colleagues with whom he had associated and who never left his side. The family would like to especially thank the entire staff of the United States Federal Court of Utah, The United States Marshals Service and the Staff of Brighton Gardens. A public viewing will be held Tuesday May 26th from 3:00 to 7:00 p.m. at the Frank E. Moss Federal Court House, 350 South Main Street, Salt Lake City. A memorial service will also be held at a date and time to be announced. Funeral Directors Neil O'Donnell and Sons.
