Sorry to hear about David’s passing. It is so sad to read of a former student passing from this life. You know the thing that really stands out about David was his Green Bay Packers jacket. I remember him wearing one in junior high through high school. God Bless family and friends during this difficult time. Coach Givens

Gloria, Pam and family,
I am heartbroken that David has passed. I have so many fond memories of David, especially Christmas mornings over the years when David would walk over the tracks for breakfast with the family.
Whenever we would come home to Lexa, David would make it a point to come over to visit. He was always so good to mom (Aunt Jean). He was always ready to help her in whatever she needed. Even after we moved her to Missouri he would watch over her place and take care of things.
Please know that I am thinking of all of y’all and sending my love and prayers for strength to get through this difficult time.
Much love,
Your cousin, Bobby
