WA7LJU is a silent key. David Hughes Horne, P.E., passed away on April 27, 2019 following an extended battle with Lewy Body Dementia and Parkinson's Disease.

David and his twin, Jonathan, were born October 25, 1935 in Salt Lake City to Dr. Lyman Merrill Horne and Myrtle Clara Swainston, their third set of twins. He attended East High School and later studied chemical engineering (B.S.) and engineering administration (MEA) at the University of Utah.

David married Barbara Alice Davies in the Salt Lake Temple on August 31, 1967 and was immensely proud of their six children.

He was a lifelong member and missionary for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. In addition to serving a mission in Germany, he was a Seventies Quorum President, Gospel Doctrine Teacher, Scoutmaster, Emergency Preparedness Coordinator, Family History Consultant, and Veil Worker in the Salt Lake Temple.

David wrote the 1976 Utah Indoor Clean Air Act, prohibiting smoking in public places. He was the test engineer for the Air Force's F-16 fighter aircraft, a corrosion specialist, and held a patent on a technique to improve efficiency in gasoline engines.

David loved being a ham radio operator and started a program using QSL cards with pictures of temples, the Tabernacle Choir, and the Book of Mormon. He also loved doing family history work.

He is survived by his wife, Barbara; children, Lillian Angelovic, Lyman (Jennifer), Benjamin (Erika), Sylvia (Rob) Wagner, Heather (Whitney) Leary, and Rosemarie; nineteen grandchildren; and siblings, Robert (Kathy), Jonathan (Colleen), and Alice Chamberlain. He was preceded in death by his parents and siblings, Richard, Harriet Arrington, Marilynn Farr, and Carolynn Allred.
