To all of Dave's family & friends;
Our most heartfelt condolences go out to you during this time of loss & grief. We are certain that Dave is back in Jesus' arms right now and watching over us all.
We only knew Dave for a very brief while when we played there last year at the Den, but he was truly a joy to work & talk with. He was an inspiration of the type of people the Lord calls us to be. He will be sorely missed, but forever as a bright spot in our lives. We are better for having known him.
Again, our deepest and most sincere sympathies go out to everyone there.

Dear Anita,
I was absolutely shocked to hear of David's passing. You, David, and your entire family will be in Valerie and my prayers. You and David are such an inspiration to me--having seen firsthand the amazing work that you do for our Lord and Holy Mother Church. God bless you, Anita, in this time of difficulty, and God bless David Eversole--a true warrior for Christ.

Anita,
My deepest regrets to you and your family as your grieve the loss of David. Although I haven't seen you in years, just in reading the comments from previous entries I can tell that David was a Godly man, with a passion for sharing Christ. My thoughts and prayers are with you as you continue on this journey of life and carry on the legacy that David left.

Thirty plus years ago I graduated from Moweaqua HIgh School with David. Our paths have not crossed since then that I recall. Just a few months ago I spoke to a man on the phone who had the same name and I inquired if he were your David. He wasn't but I started wondering where you all were. What a shock to read the paper and see of your great loss. The tears flowed though as I read about his life and the fact that he was following the Lord. My heart was so encouraged as I hope yours will be in the days and months ahead.

Dear Anita and Family;
I just heard,tonight, about David crossing over from this present earthly life into the presence of the Father. I rejoice for David and extend my heartfelt sympathy to you. Thank you and David for showing me around Daniel's Den and extending the invitation to come back. I am sorry I never made it in to enjoy before David passed.
The first time I met David was when he took Therresa's high school graduation pictures. He was truely an artist.
I will stop in to see you soon.
Again, I want to extend sympathy to you and your family.

So many people go through life just existing... Dave lived life and followed God passionately and whole-heartedly. His zeal and devotion was nothing short of admirable. I will truly miss his introductions and prayers before each concert. He always made me feel welcome and at home and was always encouraging me in the ministry that God has me in. It's easy to see that my life is not the only one that was touched.
I'll miss you Dave... but one day I'll see you again.
