We are deeply saddened to report that our beautiful son David passed away today at about 11:00 a.m.
David was an exceedingly generous, kind, and loving person. Words cannot express the sorrow that we are feeling, borne of the inexpressible love that we have for him. We will strive always to keep his memory alive, and carry him in our hearts.
We thank the rescue and medical personnel that helped our son for the professionalism and compassion that they demonstrated.
We have been strengthened immensely by the outpouring of love and support we have received from our friends, family, and community, both here in North Carolina and in Utah. There are wonderful, good people everywhere and we have learned much about compassion, love, and kindness through this experience.
We love you and thank you with all of our hearts.
Love,
The Heiners – Mark, Vickie, David, Rebecca, Daniel, and Nathan

Dr. Heiner and family:
I have been thinking about you a lot since I learned about your son. It brought a lot of memories back for me and I had to say again how sorry I am. I am saddened beyond words that your family is going through this.
Your son was obviously loved by many, many people and I am so sorry that you didn't get to have him with you longer. I know that there are no words that will really help. Just know that my thoughts will be with you.
Dr. Heiner and Family-

We enjoyed having him in our home and always being such a great friend to Brittney.We will always miss that contagious smile and laugh. He was always so happy with everything in life. These are the things we need to remember so that David's legacy will live on in our hearts forever. We are so sorry and send our deepest sympathy at this time to your family.

Mark, Vickie and family -
Thank you so much for having this blog so that we could know about David and what a wonderful person he is. I went through this with my best friend three years ago as she lost her 24 year old son in a motorcycle accident. I know your pain is so great and my heart is breaking with you. Please know that you are loved and held to the highest regard in this community. David's life is a tribute to the kind of people you are. You have a wonderful family. God has told us he will not put more on us than we can bear. Right now the pain feels unbearable and I know that God will wrap his love around you and give you peace to get through.
You have been in my thoughts and prayers since last Friday. Please let me know if there is anything I can do.
God Bless all of you.
Vicky Dinkins, HCMH
Dear Heiner Family,
I am so sorry for your loss. I am honored to have met a such a wonderful family that I was able to work with. The love and support that surrounded David and your family at the hospital was truly amazing. Having lived in Elkin, I know the love and support that comes from a small town as well.
I pray God gives you strength for what is to come. You all will continue to remain in my prayers. From all the things I have read I know that David will always be remembered and never forgotten.
- Andrea Westmoreland
Child Life Specialist @ CMC
Dear Heiner Family,
I have never met any of you or your son David, but your family has been in my prayers every since I heard the call go out on Friday. I know there are no comforting words right now, but do know that God is with you right now and always. Our message tonight at Bible study was from Isaiah 57:14-15. In these verses God promises to revive the spirit of the humble and to revive the heart of the contrite. Our pastor was able to explain it quite eloquently. I cannot quote directly but the idea is that God will come down and be with you when you are depressed, crushed or bruised in spirit. May God be with you now and in the days and weeks to come. Your son obviously meant a lot to so many, he won't be forgotten.
Mark,Vickie, Rebecca,Daniel, and Nathan
We wish there were words we could say to help ease the immense pain each of you are feeling at this time. We can only tell you, you've been in our prayers daily since David's accident, and our prayer is for God to give you the peace of heart and understanding at this difficult time. With our Love, Garry, Tonya and Mattie
Dr. Heiner,
One last comment..
You taught me so much about compassion and support while I was pregnant with my last baby.
David will always live on in your hearts, and there will always be happy memories...
Know that he is now in heaven shining down on you and your family.

We are saddened by the tragedy that has taken David’s earthly life. We cannot imagine the pain of loosing a child and brother. It is our faith in God gives us the strength to bear such sorrow. Our thoughts and prayers are with David and family.
Carol and John Anderson
Dear Heiner family,
I am so sad about David's passing. I loved him for his loving acceptance of those around him. When we left Logan last fall, the only thing that made me feel okay was that Erik was with David. I have wanted to thank you for a long time. Thank you for David. God bless you, wonderful family.
Love, Julie Olson
We're so sorry to hear of David's passing, but we pray that your family will be strengthened at this time. We never know when our time is up here. Heavenly Father does have a plan, but we must cherish every minute we have with our children and loved ones. May you find peace at this time in your lives, as you bond together as a family to celebrate David's life. We send our love and support. -Ryan & Keri Allred
Mark, Vickie, family and Erin,
I heard the news this morning of David's passing and my heart is heavy. I will always remember his contagious smile, upbeat personality, witty sense of humor and scooting into the office on his skateboard-happy as can be! We will miss him. The world will miss him. David has obviously touched many lives and will be remembered forever in our hearts. I wish I were there to give you all hugs but please know that you are in my thoughts and prayers. Mark and Vickie-PLEASE call if you need anything. We love and miss you.
Sincerely, Heidi
Dear Heiner family,
David's passing has left many struggling to comprehend the incomprehensible and questioning why a beautiful young person has been taken from this life so prematurely. Although I cannot truly understand the depth of your pain, I have often heard it said that what God doesn't deliver you from, He will see you through. May God grant you and your family His love and peace. I sincerely hope that knowing that so many are praying for all of you will give some small measure of comfort.
Dr. Heiner and Family,
We are so sorry to hear about David. We can not begin to imagine the sorrow that you are feeling right now. Our hearts and prayers are with you during this difficult time.
God Bless you all,
Michael Irwin, Rebecca Wells and Family
Dear Heiner Family,
We are continually keeping you all in our thoughts and prayers. May the Lord comfort and strengthen you. With heartfelt sympathy and love, Dusty and Jessica Simmons
Dear Heiner family,
I am so sorry to hear of the passing away of David. That would be so hard. I can only imagine. It's comforting to know that families are forever. I know that you'll be able to see and be with him again. I learned of your story from my sister Holly and my friend Jessica. I actually know your daughter Rebecca though I don't know if she remembers me. I don't know you all but I love you and my prayers are with you and Rebecca, I remember you being the sweetest girl and I'm positive that everything happens for a reason whether we find out why it happened or not. Once again, my prayers are with you.
Sincerely, Natalie Walker

Dear Mark, Vickie, Rebecca, Daniel, and Nathan,
There are no words I can offer to express to you my heartfelt condolences and love over the tremendous loss of such a great young man in your son David.
I am praying for you all, as well as praying for your larger family and the friends who David's heart and spirit have undoubtedly had a great impact on. I pray that his legacy of love and his spirit towards life and it's meaning will be tangible to you in these days ahead. And I pray that you all feel the Lord upholding you with His hand and His perfect peace that passes all understanding. I am so sorry for this devestating loss. May you find comfort for your grief, solace for your suffering, and joyful memories that flood your hearts to bring you peace and life, in the place of regrets or pain.
Please know you are loved and that we are with you.
God Bless you...

From one parent to another....
Many times we get caught up in the world and the things it has to offer and we think of all the things our kids must have and do, but the most important thing in life is that we help them to learn about and know Jesus and to follow in his guidance. We must teach our children to Love and respect others. From all of the blogs it sounds like David had lots of Love and Respect of others and has left his mark in the hearts of many and that has to make you as parents so proud. My prayers are with your family that God will give you grace and comfort thru this difficult time. God's grace is sufficient!
Dear Vickie, Mark and family,
We are so sorry to hear of the loss of your dear David. I can't imagine the pain and despair that you must be feeling. We pray that the you may feel the Savior's comforting touch. We will be praying for you.

We are often reminded, and too soon forget, how precious is this life and the time we spend with one another. In the coming weeks I pray you find peace within your saddness as you remember the wonderful life of your son. May God heal your hearts and bring comfort.

Dear Mark, Vickie, and kids,
I cry with you. David had a wonderful smile and a beautiful soul. He asked fabulously hard questions about life. Because of God's grace and peace, David is smiling still.
Your brother in Christ.

(See you sometime soon, David.)
Dear Mark and Vickie,
Our paths crossed several years ago and mutual friends from Maranatha Baptist Church in Logan informed me of your son's tragic accident by e-mail. Tonight, I am in Palmyra, New York meeting with evangelical and Mormon scholars as I think of you and the loss of your son's life. Having lost my beloved nephew to a car accident in 1998 at the age of 17 I feel some of your pain tonight while sitting here in my hotel room. Actually, my heart aches with you for your loss and tears feel my eyes as I type this brief note. I offer my prayers to the many others on your behalf, that the God of all peace will comfort your both as parents and as a family in ways that only He can. May you be reminded of David's words in Ps. 46:1 and 10, "God is our refuge and strength, an ever-present help in trouble. Be still, and know that I am God."
Keeping you in my prayers,
Pastor Greg Johnson
Standing Together, SLC
Your family is in my thoughts and prayers through this difficult time. I am so grateful to have known your family, especially David. I always had so much fun with him because of his happy-go-lucky, witty personality. You raised a wonderful son and again I am so thankful I was lucky enough to have known him. He will always have a place in my heart.
My family shares their deepest sympathy for your family and for Erin. We continue to pray for you.
~Becca Boman (Thorne) and the Thorne Family
The unfathomable tragedy of David's death reminds me that life is precious and that it is not all in my control. My thoughts and prayers remain with you in the difficult days ahead.

Words cannot convey our sorrow for all of you, at this most difficult time.

I pray for the Holy Spirit to comfort you. I pray for the peace that passes all understanding to come upon you. My heart cries out to Jesus for all of you to feel God's presence during this time.
I thank you for sharing about David's wonderful life. He has touched so many lives through his accident. I hope you can continue to celebrate his life and the time you had with him. I trust we will see him again.

Erin, I am so sorry in my earlier entry I put "Emily" instead of your name. Please know that though we haven't met, I have been praying for you as well as the other members of David's family and those who loved him. May God bring you peace and comfort in this sad time.
Dear Heiner Family:
We are so sorry for your loss. David was a remarkable young man and will be missed by many. We enjoyed living near you while you were in Utah and grew close to your family. Our prayes and sympathy are with you.
Steve and Delsa Thorne Family
Dear Heiner Family:
You have been in our collective prayers as we, the neighbors and friends of the Edgleys and your family here in Centerville, Utah, have followed the story of the loss of your dear son, David. Our prayer is that you will find peace in knowing that there is a loving God in heaven who will give you comfort and peace in knowing that your David still lives and will continue to be a part of your lives.
We extend to you our deepest sympathy and friendship.
Scott & Stana Kjar and the rest of the Centerville neighborhood
I am so sorry to hear about David, but am so very grateful for the opportunity I had to get to know him. Through much of Junior high David was my very best friend and it hurts to know we wont see him for awhile. But being a missionary has really helped me gain a testimony that this life isnt the end and at some point in time I know that we will all be able to hug, and speak with David again.
My love and prayers go out to the Heiner family.
Elder J.J. Hansen
Someone said to me once, "God doesn't give you more than you can handle." Those words have often given me a little peace.
You are a strong, loving family. Please know how sorry we are for your loss.
Yours in support and friendship,
The Mantero's - Jack, LeAnne and Adriana
Dear Heiner family and Erin,
We are grief stricken by your loss. You may recall that it took us 12 years of trying before we gave birth to Sebastien, and he just turned 2 last week. We believed we loved him completely these last 2 years, but we have spent countless hours looking at him differently, and consciously cherishing every moment with him since David's accident. When the news came that David had passed, we were distraught for you, and nearly panicked at the possibility that this could (and does)happen to any parent, any time, anywhere. We are all just on loan to each other it seems, and at the moment, it would be hard for anyone to find comfort in that.
Your family has built several larger families in the different places you've lived - church families, school families, and of course your patients. Hundreds and hundreds of people admire you, respect you, and love you deeply. Every one of us wishes we could take away your pain, and the most we can do is tell you that we love you and try to hold you up with our thoughts and prayers. However, every one of us loves someone dearly and deeply, as you love David, and every one of us doesn't want to lose that person. The best way to honor his life and his place in the Universe would be to love our dear ones thoroughly, every moment of every day. People who have suffered a loss like yours already know this, but for those of us who haven't, David's life and passing is a profound and lovely lesson. I am grateful.
Thank you so much for including all of us in your lives during this very difficult, tragic, and sad time.
We love you,
Catherine and Howard Tanner

Dear Dr. Heiner:
No words are adequate in the face of such a deep and profound loss. Please know that you and your family have been and continue to be in our prayers.
Brian and Beth Rummage
Dear Heiner Family
Please know that you are in my thoughts and prayers. Dr Heiner, I have yet to find a Doctor as kind and as compassionate as you were to me. As I read through these comments and memories of David it sounds like he was following your great example of love for all mankind.
I remember him as a little boy in the Providence 8th ward many years ago. May the Lord comfort all of you and bless you at this difficult time.
My deepest sympathy,

We are so sorry to hear of your loss. We know that there are no words that will make it easier, but just know that we will continue to pray for you as we have been doing since last week. Thankfully our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ will get you through the tough times ahead.

Dr. Heiner:
We were all extremely blessed to have you in our lives when we gave birth to our own children. There is no way to describe the love a parent has for a child. We cannot even imagine what your family is going through, or how as a parent you cope with this kind of loss. There really are no words that can be said other than our prayers are with your family at this time. May god bless you!
Love,

Dear Heiner Family,
We too are saddened by David's passing. We're so sorry. Just know that you are loved. Sincerely, Eric & Vickie Jenson and our four kids Dr. Heiner helped deliver (Lia, Dallin, Chase, and Joslyn).
"And until we meet again may God hold you in the palm of His hand."
Dr. Heiner & Family(including)Erin
There are no words to ease your pain but time will soften the edges of your grief and make it more bearable. I know each of you will use the rest of your lives as a tribute to David, and the Lord will hold him in his loving embrace until you are reunited someday. As his parents you raised a wonderful young man who was able and willing to share his life with his family, friends and strangers; many people live their whole lives unable to do that. The world will be a better place because he was here. Please let us know if we can help you in any way.
Paula & Jon Saylor
Dr. Heiner & Family,
We are so sorry to hear this news. We cannot even begin to imagine the hurt you guys are experienceing right now. God bless all of you though this difficult time. You're in our thoughts and prayers.
With Love,

To the Heiner Family:
Our hearts go out to you during this time of incredible loss. Our family was among the lucky ones that knew David well....Ryan and Dave shared a great friendship. Their love of debate, philosophy, music, video games, and "hanging out" together made for many memories and good times together. We will all miss him. Dave had so many great qualities....he was a beautiful person and our family will not forget him.
With love

Dear Heiner Family,
I first want to extend my sincere condolences to you. I had the opportunity to work side by side in Student Government with your Son and Brother, He was always giving more of himself than anyone could ever ask. He touched many peoples lives and we will all have a hard time trying to fill the space that he has left in our hearts. May God bless you and help you through this tragic time.
Bryan Olsen
Dr. Heiner and family,
You and your family are such fabulous people! You are loved so very much. I wish I could hug every one of you right now.
The loss of David is so unfair, no one should have to go through this! May the coming weeks & months bring your family closer together than ever. David would want that! He is yours forever, and you will be with him again. Our thoughts and prayers are with you!
Lots of love,
Brandi Barnard
Dear Heiner family,
You are in our thoughts and prayers.
Please let us know if there is anything we can do for you. May God bless your family.

Joel & Leslie Hooper
Beloved Heiner Family,
I know this is going to get lost in the out pouring of love and support, but I want lend my heart and tears for the family.
Mark, You've touched so many lives, but not quiet as much as you did with my Brother's Paul and Aaron. They are wonderful men today because of the love, support, strength and intelligence that you gave to them while you still lived in N. Logan. You were a very good mentor to both Paul and Aaron. Your talents are far reaching and it is amazing the gifts that you carry. You are truly a wonderful man. Most importantly you are a wonderful Father, the profound effect that you had on my family alone speaks volumes and without a shadow of a doubt you were the best father David could have ever asked for.
I wish it were different, I wish it weren't true, and I wish above anything that this did not have to happen to your family.
I can only respond to this from my point of view, which is Families are Forever...I know this to be true!
The Lord loves us so much, however in times like this it's hard to even comprehend it. We start to question, and naturally we find ourselves in more sorrow, more grief, and more pain. Although our grief is very powerful, the only way to find comfort is through our Savior and his teachings. Even in times like this, the Savior is teaching you something, what that is I do not know, but whatever the lesson is, please listen to it for our Savior will provide you with the comfort, peace, and joy, more so then anyone here on earth can provide.
We all love you, and we all have been and will continue to pray. I am so sorry.
~Love the Trappett Family in Logan Utah and the Birckhead Family in St. Louis MO!~
Dear Heiner Family,
We are deeply sorry to hear of your loss. We've only just met you this year, but have enjoyed your son, Nate's, sense of humor. In this challenging time of your life, please try to remember how healing humor can be. Your son David would probably rather see you smile than be sad. We firmly believe that he is alive and well in a better place and is looking forward to seeing you again. In the meantime, our prayers are with you and we wish only blessings for your family.
With love,
The Schell Family
Dearest Heiners,
Is there anything that any of us out here in Utah can do to help prepare for the Memorial service out here? Do you guys have food and housing covered? Rides to and from the airport? Anything like that? Please have Erin call me if there is anything that I can do to help...
-Jane A McBride
Dr.Heiner and family,

You have been such a blessing to this community..and I am sorry to hear of your sons passing. I extend my sincere sympathy to you and your family. May God be with you at this time of need.
Your friend and patient,
Jamie Blevins
Dear Heiner Family,
I found this blog through a comment on the funeral home website. I am just in tears. I can't imagine what the last week has been like for you. But I am so glad to see that you have so many people that love you and your son and it seems like Heaven is getting bombarded with prayers in your behalf. Dr. Heiner, you showed me such care and compassion when I miscarried my little baby. That was so devastating to me. I can't imagine losing a child you've actually held and loved for almost 20 years. I want so much to be able to do something in return for you. Please let me be of some help when you are back in Logan for his memorial services. In the meantime, I will continue to pray for your peace and comfort.
DR. HEINER
You are someone so special, who's hand helps bring so many lives into this world. As a parent, saying goodbye to a life so close to you must have been the hardest thing for you to do. It takes a lot of strength, and the Lord will bless & help you during this time.
Your son David lived a great life because he had you in it. When I was in labor 2 years ago, I remember you bragging about how smart he was and his desire to succeed. May your memories of him be cherished forever!
Thanks for the daily updates and for allowing so many of us to be part of this time of sorrow. It has helped so many of us reflect on our individual purpose in life and why we are here on this earth.
I hope that your family can feel the strength, prayers & support we have for you here in Utah.
We love & miss you so much!
Dr.Heiner & family,

Dr. Heiner, I worked as a nurse at Logan Regional Hospital for ten years and remember you very well as a person of much kindness and compassion. I am so sorry for what you and your family are going through.
Four weeks ago today, my two youngest children were taking a bath in the tub when my youngest, Evan, 19 months old, got some water splashed in his face. He suddenly was unable to breathe. I was right there and tried to heimlich him, thinking he was choking, and then started CPR as he lost consciousness, but it was all to no avail. We believe he suffered a laryngospasm in response to aspirating a little of the water and we were unable to get any air into his lungs. My husband laid his hands upon his head to give him a priesthood blessing, but we felt that right at that moment, his spirit was gone.
We have missed him so much and this last month has been so hard for us without our baby. We are so thankful for the blessings of the Lord upon our family during this time. We have prayed for you and your family, that you will be also blessed.
The end of David's beautiful obituary reads "the pain passes but the beauty remains." I am coming to find out that this really is true. Bless you all.
With much love,

I am saddened to hear about the loss of your son, David. I didn't know him but know you, Mark, my favorite Doctor in the world. I know he was a fantastic son because of all I've read and heard, plus he's your son. Thinking of you and your family and sending my sincere sympathy and thoughts at such a difficult time.

Dr. Heiner and family,
I am so sorry to hear about your dear son David. Dr. Heiner, I worked with you at LRH for 8 years, you served as the chairman of the OB/GYN department. I watched you shed a tear when patient's were hurt. You are a man of great compassion. At this time I wish to share with you my deepest sorrow and let you know that you have been in our thoughts and prayers. Everyone here in the Quality Mgt. department extends their prayers, sympathy and friendship. You are a wonderful person and I can't help but imagine that your son David was much the same.
God be with you till you meet again.

Dear Heiner Family
We are so sorry for your loss. We can't even begin to imagine what you are going through. You have been in our prayers ever since Carole first called us to let us know of the accident. We are so sorry we will be out of town for the service here in Logan. Please know that we are thinking of you and hope that you will find peace as you deal with this tragedy.

Dear Mark, Vickie, and family,
How can we express the sadness we feel for your family at this incredibly difficult time? It is nearly impossible. All that we can say is that you are in our prayers and thoughts quite regularly. My memories of David are that he was a darling boy that made me laugh and was kind and sweet. My even greater memories are of his special mother and father. Mark delivered our last child and the experience of having him for our Doctor was exceptional. Not only was he a excellent Doctor, but a compassionate friend. I can only imagine that David was a chip off the old block (of his Mother too). Our hearts go out to all of you and hope that each of you will have the peace of knowing that David is in a wonderful place, I'm sure of it. We consider ourselves blessed to know the Heiner family and know that God will help you through this time of sorrow.

Dear Mark, Vickie, and family,
As you've been in my thoughts and prayers a verse keeps coming to mind for David. It is John 12:24
24"Truly, truly, I say to you, (D)unless a grain of wheat falls into the earth and dies, it remains alone; but if it dies, it bears much fruit.
I believe David's life/death will bear much fruit.
Love, Janel Krull
Dear Mark, Vickie, and Family,
We are so sad to hear about David. You are all in our thoughts and prayers to receive peace and comfort in this difficult time. Thank you, Mark, for your kindness and listening ear last year after Kent's brother had died. Time dims the pain, but the good memories find a way back into your thoughts when you're not expecting them.
With much love,

Dear Mark, Vickie & family-
We were saddened and absolutely heartsick to hear of David's death. We are praying the Holy Ghost will comfort you and guide you through the difficult days ahead. You have always been very special to us.
With love,
