Paul David Navar
February 25, 2009

Buzz up! ST. GEORGE - Paul David Navar, M.D. was a young 52 when he
passed away in St. George, Utah on Saturday, February 21st. Paul
passed away enjoying an activity he loved, bicycling. He was found at
the top of Chuck-walla Trail, surrounded by beautiful red rocks, with
the view of Pine Valley Mountain in the background. Paul did not die
in an accident; he rode to the top of the mountain, dismounted his
bicycle, grabbed his water bottle, and laid back to take in the view.
This was where Paul went peacefully, and if he could have chosen how
he would go, this would have been it. Paul was born September 27, 1956
in El Paso, Texas to Macedonio and Julianne Navar. The oldest of
seven, his favorite phrase was "Mom and Dad have loved me the
longest." As his five younger sisters grew into beautiful women, Paul
became the protective, older brother. He was a star athlete at his
high school, and it is there where he met his future wife, Marsha
Sales. Paul went on to Stanford University where he played football
his freshman and sophomore year. He graduated in three years on
January 5, 1978, with a Bachelor of Science. Paul was then accepted to
Southwestern Medical School. While in medical school, he married his
wonderful wife, Marsha, on June 20, 1980. He graduated in the top 10%,
and was a member of the Alpha Omega Alpha medical honor society. In
1982, he and his wife moved to Salt Lake City to complete his
residency at the University of Utah, where he received the outstanding
intern award. It was there that his first son, Jon Paul, was born.
When Paul completed his residency, he moved back to El Paso where he
became the director of two major emergency rooms. While in El Paso he
welcomed his second son, Kirk, and his little angel, Allison. In 1999,
Paul moved his family to St. George, Utah where he opened his own
practice in Age Management Medicine. Paul had many hobbies. He would
strive to become the best at one and then would move on to the next.
He was an expert golfer, tennis player, hiker, pilot, heli-skier,
rappeller, dirt biker, geocacher, and mountain biker. He was the best
husband, father, son and brother. Paul was also a bit of a nerd. He
enjoyed coin and rock collecting, chess and reading. Paul was a
brilliant, athletic, healthy, handsome, happy man. Just like Clark
Kent, my daddy was "Superman!"

I'll bet that part about Paul being a father is especially hard for
Mike to take being as Synanon forced him to get his ball sack snipped.

For them, LYING takes the place of communication.

I believe this counts as an example of schadenfreude, taking pleasure
in the misfortunes of others. Mikey is so biased against mountain
bikers that any time one is killed, injured, or dies from natural
causes on the trail he is pleased.

Hey, I don't like mountain biking either, I think looking for low
traction situations isn't very bright, but that doesn't mean I would
deny it to people as a recreation. On the contrary as long as you
tread lightly on existing trails, or build trails in approved areas
I'm all for it. I view "outlaw" trails in the same manner I would view
"outlaw" roads, except that "outlaw" roads are much harder to clean up
after. I also view "outlaw" hiking trails in much the same light, if
you are where you're not supposed to be then you're wrong. But I also
think that if there are hiking trails then ther should be bike trails
or the trails should be shared by all non-motorized trail users.

I'm just getting tired of Mikey gloating every time there's an article
about MTB'ers dieing or getting killed. Give it a rest Mikey.

Michael J. Vandeman, you are hereby ordered to turn in your membership in
the human race. You are a disgrace to all mankind, and an embarassment to
friends and family. You are an idiot too, but that's beside the point.

I have made this point in the past only to have Mike dispute it. It
seems his memory is selective and short.
