David, we didn't even know you were gone. I wish someone had told us. You will be terribly missed by us and our boys Bobby and Patrick. You alway gave us a helping hand with your computer technology, and you were a friend to the boys. We will always remeber the paint ball fights, the games and the fun you had with our boys. I know that Shannon will be lost without you. You were her life. You left at such a young age, and we don't know why, but I'm sure God just wanted to bring you home with Him. We will miss you and you will be in our thought for along time. Shannon and your family will be in our prayers

I am very sorry to hear of the loss of Dave. I knew him since he attended Bartlett High. He was a character. People who met dave did not easily forget him. My prayers go out to Shannon and her family in this time of grief
