What an amazing man! I had the pleasure of meeting David in 2019 while working at Wright-Patterson AFB, OH. His positive energy & spirit were infectious. He always made time to ask how my family and I were doing. During those discussions, the sense of pride & love for his own family shined bright. The news of David's passing hit me hard because he was one of the great ones. Long after we moved on to other offices, David continued to check in and see how I was doing. What a role model for others and a wonderful person! My condolences and prayers go out to David's entire family. He will be missed by many & will not be forgotten.

"Live your life so that when you die, the world cries and you rejoice".

I came to know David through his work... USAF/DoD and the Kittyhawk Chapter (Association of Old Crows) will mourn the loss deeply, particularly for David´s significant contributions to the national defense and the positive impact to the Electronic Warfare community, including his support to the STEM activities.
David, your family will be proud of the difference you had made to this nation and the lives of many.

My deepest sympathy for Ivette and Dave´s entire family. I had the pleasure of serving with Dave on the AOC board for several years. As important and impactful as he was in his professional day job, he made time use his expertise to pay it forward whether fundraising for STEM scholarships, judging science fairs, or organizing session for our local technical conference. Dave´s energy and enthusiasm make all these events better.
Respectfully,
