I was saddened deeply to hear of the loss of David. He was a good hearted & trust worthy man. I always thought of him as a gentle teddy bear. My prayers are with Michelle and mainly the kids, whom he loved so dearly. Rest in peace David until we meet again!

My heart is saddened by the great loss. He was not just my cousin he was my friend. We never missed the chance to hug each other and tell each other I LOVE YOU. My words will never describe how much he will be missed. He encouraged me and I him everytime we saw each other. I truly will miss him. He had a heart of Gold and always willing to lend a hand out to others. He is now being held by the hand of his savior and in that I find my comfort in this time of loss.

I am deeply saddened by the death of my friend David. David did a lot of work for us but it was more than just work--he put heart and soul into everything he did. And there was very little that he couldn't do! He was trustworthy, honest and fair. I see reminders of David in just about every room. He always said we were like family, and I felt the same about him. I will never forget David. I pray for his wife, children, siblings and parents during the difficult days ahead.
