Dr. David Menton

Dr. Menton was a great Christian and teacher to young adults. He took the time to help my late, college student son, to think about creation versus evolution while also learning to use an electron microscope. His example was to note how a birds wing could only come into being via creation. By learning to use an EM, one could finally see that the spine of a birds feather had hundreds of tiny “fishhooks” that gripped all of the feathers together to allow the entire feather to act as a unit. This unit then acted as an airfoil, allowing for lift and glide. If the tiny hooks had not been created,by God, the bird could never fly and, thus, never survived . I have never forgotten his example. May he peacefully fest in God’s house……………George Tomazi

I met Dr. Menton at the creation museum where he was giving a lecture series. Hearing him talk refilled my enthusiasm for creation science and for biology. I still remember how much fun it was to take an eyedropper of pond water and use a projector and microscope to display all the microorganisms hiding inside.
His loss is felt by all who knew him. God bless.

We were so fortunate to have Dr. Menton (Dave) join us for a few years to join our team teaching Gross Anatomy to first year medical students. He brought his abundant knowledge of histology to enrich our course, and was, quite simply, a marvelous teacher. He understood how to connect with students, and we have many wonderful memories of his terrifying magic tricks at the podium! We send our deepest condolences to Debbie and his family: we were grateful for his presence in our lives. Sincerely, Jane and Glenn

I met Dave Menton in July 1970 when I started working in the Anatomy Dept. office. He was friendly, outgoing and very committed to his teaching duties. Several years later he came to my office one day and said – I want to ask Debbie out, and I’d like to take her somewhere nice…where do you think we should go? So one of my Menton memories is your first date. And the rest, as they say, is history.

With deepest condolences.

I taught with Marcia and we joined Dave in mourning her death. DEbbie brought new happiness for him and we all liked her.
Dave was fun to be with and loved hi s daughters. We all enjoyed Dave’s wit and his amazing skill as a magician. So sorry to lose him.

30 years ago, we hiked the Grand Canyon together from rim to rim, my tent-mate. That was not the start nor end of the wonderful times together. David lives on in the many people he taught, presented to, encouraged, laughed with, and shared with.

We will miss you so much. It was such a joy to see you the many times we visited the Creation Museum. We all learned so much from you.
Now you are with your Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.
Thanks to the family for all the wonderful pictures on this site.

Dr. Menton was an amazing teacher and man of God. He will be greatly missed. We loved learning from him.

Thank you for your boundless energy and sense of humor. Thank you for caring about me and introducing me to jazz. I will see you again and miss you greatly.

“For whether we live, we live unto the Lord; and whether we die, we die unto the Lord: whether we live therefore, or die, we are the Lord’s.” (Romans 14:8)

“These are they which came out of great tribulation, and have washed their robes, and made them white in the blood of the Lamb.
Therefore are they before the throne of God, and serve him day and night in his temple: and he that sits on the throne shall dwell among them.”
(Rev 7:14-15 )
