David Hyles ’89

The class of '89 remembers the life of Fort Worth, Tex., classmate David Hyles, who lost his lengthy battle with cancer of the esophagus June 18, 2003. David is remembered by one old friend for his "friendly candor, his modest temperament, his scholarship, athleticism, and his gentle dedication to doing what was right."

"David was an ambassador of what was best about Texas to the older corridors of tradition and intellectual pursuit on the East Coast," remembers another friend. He was 36, and never stopped being proud to have been a Tiger, both on the varsity football field and in the lecture hall. The class extends its sympathies to David's wife, Amy Blevins Hyles, and their two young children, Zachary and Jordan.
