Not sure what to say?





David, my old neighbor on Bailey st. Romeo, Mi. You were such a nice guy and I just loved your corvettes that you would polish weekly. I would always ask you to save one for me when I got older and you would laugh and tell me that you would. :) I know your family and friends will miss you as you were such a kind soul. Fran Downey

Barbara, so sorry to hear of the passing of David. I have so many girlhood and high school memories of your brother and consider myself fortunate to have shared even a small portion of his life. I am glad we got to connect a bit at our 50th high school re-union in 2008. My condolences are with you and your family.

David McNeven was one of the most genuine, and heart filled people I will ever meet. He brought a specialized service to the community, and supported schools, and youth athletics. He took care of his employees, and taught customer service, integrity, and business ethics without even knowing it, all through his own daily examples. Dave was a staple in the Clarkston and Waterford community that will be greatly missed.
