Wow. David was such a good guy. I knew him from high school. Any time I saw Dave, he was always genuine and gave pure at heart. He never let the opinions or negative thoughts of others seem to penetrate his mind or spirit. A very solid guy. I actually gained more respect for him the more as the years went by. To see him beam as he discussed his wife and life. To see he never left his pure moral grounds was so refreshing. He reminded me so much of my own brother. Even as he reached out to over condolences when our family lost my brother (we all went to Patterson). This news is heartbreaking. My prayers are with David´s family. You have an amazing person in him. Sending my sincere condolences to his entire family. What a positive gentleman.
