David Griggs, born September 7, 1939 in Portland, Oregon, went into space aboard Discovery (STS-51-D) as mission specialist in April 1985. He and fellow astronaut Jeffrey Hoffman conducted an unscheduled EVA (the first in NASA history).
Griggs passed away in June 1989 when the vintage World War II-era training aircraft he was piloting crashed near Earle, Arkansas.
