Hey so I know no one see this anymore but I just wanted to let you know I never met you but I´ve heard the stories my coach calls me deeds and I feel weird because I know of that as you so whenever I hear it I can´t help but Think of you and how I wish I could have met you and that I would have loved you.
May 27, 2015
I think about you every day. I wonder what you'd be doing if you were still here. it's fun to think about because you were great at so many things.
It's very hard to think that I have to live the rest of my life with this pain. It helps to reflect that life on Earth, no matter how long, is a blink of an eye compared to eternity in Heaven with those I miss.
I can't wait until Evy gets older so I can tell her all about you.

I will never forget the day that David was born. I can honestly say, I felt like I too, was having a little brother! He was amazing. I'm sad that I was not around him in the last few years. However, I know what a wonderful spirit he carried throughout life, and will continue to bless us all with. Amy may be my best friend, but the entire Dedo family is forever in my soul. I only hope that my own children and family can be just like you. Please take comfort in the fact, that I know I'm not alone in this feeling. I know that so many others feel exactly the same. I have never known such a close knit and wonderful family. I love you all. I'm so heartbroken and sad that I could not be there to give you a hug. Just remember that I am only a phone call away! I love you! You will always be in my heart and prayers. Dave, you'll forever be missed little bro..xoxo

Dave,
You were the light in so many lives. You made people smile, you made them laugh. In so many ways, you had the wisdom of a person much older. You were the sweetest, kindest, most thoughtful person God ever put on this earth. I wish God would have left you here longer, but he must have needed you. May you rest in peace David. I know you will be watching over all of us. You will never be forgotten. Ever.

Jan, Jerry and Family,
When we moved into the house next door to you in 1990, we had no idea we were getting such special neighbors. David was a sweet toddler at the time, obviously the cherished baby of the family. Watching Jan and Jerry parent their family made us certain that they could help us raise ours.
Their impact on our children Lauren and David as well as on Bill and I are lifelong. David Dedo was Lauren's faithful friend and the big brother she needed to help her through her babyhood. Bill and I remember him as a wonderful and very funny young fellow, always cheeful and sweet. I can tell that he continued to impact others in a postive light.
Our heartfelt prayers go out you. We love you, think of you often and will pray for you.
Bill, Carol, Lauren and David Moss

Dedo, I remember when we were in the planning stages of our trip, you came over before work and we would make a list of things to bring and everyday that list got bigger and bigger. Than the day came to leave and the last hours we spent together hanging out was the greatest time,I will never have a friend like you, You taught me so much and you didnt know it. I love you brother, R.I.P( rest in power)------inside joke.....

Dearest Chris, Jerry and your entire family,
I am so, so sorry to hear about your loss. Please know that our sincerest prayers are with all of you. We take for granted each moment we have, never knowing what God has is store for us...or for what reason. This tragedy has woken up many to the blessings all around us each day. I knew Dave only as the little cutie running around when I was over in Jr. High or High School. It just breaks my heart that you are all going through such heartbreak. I would imagine the only thing you can do is to "Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and lean not on your own understanding;..." (Proverbs2), because this is just too much for anyone to understand.
Praying for your grief to be put upon Him...love,
Amanda (Lulinski)& Phil
