Dear Navajo Nation Employees:  We are saddened to announce the passing of  Mr. David F. Shortey, Jr., who passed away on Wednesday, January 18, 2006. He managed the Navajo Nation Risk Management Department and was a great advocate of Navajo custom and tradition. Many of you knew Dave in his role as Risk Manager for the Navajo Nation.   Dave was responsible for securing property and casualty insurance to protect the Navajo Nation and it's Enterprises.  He took his job very seriously and cared about the Navajo Nation, it's people and enterprises.  As part of his job, Dave was responsible for buying insurance policies for the Nation.  Dave made sure the policies were customized and tailored specifically for the needs of the Nation and it's Enterprises.

Dave put his heart and soul into everything he did. You have heard the saying, "you can't be all things to all people," well Dave was all things to all people.  Apart from his job, he was a family man.  Dave loved his family first and foremost, Rose, his wife, Tracie and Miranda, his daughters and his two sons Robert and Michael.   Dave also volunteered his time helping in his community and at his children's schools.  He was a good friend to many and will be missed by us all.
