Dirk Facer, a former Deseret News reporter and everybody's friend, died Wednesday. 'The only thing that outshined his humor was his decency and kindness,' writes Gordon Monson.
Let me back up to a night a little over a decade ago to get a running start at what I’m writing here.
In his trademark manner, Facer had wisecracked his way throughout the contest, conjuring more than a few laughs from the ink-stained wretches as the Utes battled down below. He was typically the funniest guy on press row, game after game after game, and often I wished silently that he would inject more of that glorious dripping sarcasm into his honorable copy.
Sometimes, this life is too, too cruel. And this is one of those times. Like Austin wrote it, people who worked alongside Dirk forever enjoyed his company. Even the coaches and players he covered liked him. I had the pleasure of sharing many a lunch with Facer out on the road, hearing his tales, sharing his humor.
