To you all that new Dave know what a great guy he was. He will be missed terribly. i have many fond memories of him mostly out playing pool and getting so agrevated that i could only win by luck maybe 2 out of ten times. I loved to watch him shoot. He usually separated me from a few of my bucks, i always chalked it up as a pool lesson, sometimes they dont come cheap. I will always remember his lagh and personality. My sincere and heart felt condolences to all who loved him. Peace be with him and us

Dear Aunt Vickie & Family,
Our sympathy and love goes out to all of you. We wish we could be there to give all of you a hug. My best memories of David are earlier ones when we used to play together as children at Mother’s house. Hopefully now, he has already been hugged by Mother and Daddy in heaven. I remember the last family reunion we had. I hadn’t seen David in so long, but he still had that same little boy grin in his eyes just the way I remembered him. Remember, we’ll have another reunion in heaven! We love you and we will continue to pray for you as we know the coming days won’t be easy. Trust in the Lord to bring you comfort. Proverbs 3:5,6
Love, Reida & Darrell
