I have so many memories with David that I will cherish forever. He was one of the best friends you could ever ask for. Words can not even begin to describe how much I will miss you Dave!
My heart hurts! I know that I will see you again one day but until then I will hold on to each and every memory.
Prayers to all of his family, you have always treated me like I was one of your own and I know how deeply you are hurting. My heart breaks for you all.

Bill & Bobbi.....I was really saddened to learn of David's passing. There's nothing to compare to loosing a child. I know the deep valley you're walking now as I walked the same one in January 2014 when my daughter Dana Lyn left us. I've learned a lot during that time & have realized the best thing that I can do for my family is to "move on" for their sake. But....there's not a day (or night) that goes by when I'm not reminded of her love, her beautiful smile & wonderful attitude! I'm sure your experience the same with David. Cherish those times. I'm thinking of y'all & want you to know if I can help in anyway.....even if it's just talking....."holler" at me anytime!

Dave you were such a unique one and as your sissie said you lived life your way for sure! Even though our relationship as husband and wife ended we always kept a friendship and love between us and I'm very thankful for that and I have a lot of great memories. You will be very missed by so many!! I pray God will comfort all who loved you especially your family.

David always had a huge smile on his face and was always looking to make others happy. He will be greatly missed at bingo. He always went out of his way to make us feel welcome. Making Christmas cds for me and Mom and always loved to talk about music showed his love for it.

Bill, Bobbie and all your family, I cannot imagine how much pain and sorrow you are experiencing right now. Our children are supposed to be here for our last walk.
David has always held a place in our heart. He had a kind, sweet spirit and always, a smile. He still called me his other Mother. We will cherish the memories made while he was a part of our family. I had not talked with him in a while but we shared a text on his birthday and our anniversary on June 4th. We have done this for a long time.
We pray that God will give you the strength and comfort to carry on. Love you guys.

David was a special guy. I think everyone that spent any amount of time with him would feel the same way, and would probably also own a cd that he made for them. :) My heart hurts for you all, but I pray you all have peace in knowing that David loved his family big, and he knew his family loved him the same. We will all miss him but his memory will carry on! Love you guys!

Nanny, Sis, and family,
I am so sorry to hear of David's passing. I know your heart is broken in a million piece. David was always kind to me and could crack me up with his dry humor. Sometimes I would say your kidding right??? He would just look at me...Then laugh. He will be missed. There are no words to take away your pain or help you in the days ahead. I am praying for you all and that God gives your comfort in the days ahead. I love you all.
