I went to the same church and was in the home fellowship group with David in Carrollton in the mid to late 80s. He was always kind and friendly. Out of the blue I thought of him today and after I remembered his last name- hey, I'm getting old- I looked him up and was very disappointed to know that he passed at such a young age. All my condolences to his family and friends. He was a good guy.

From time to time I run into a situation and I think about how David would have suggested I handle it. I wish I'd been able to spend a little more time getting his opinion about things. I look forward to opportunities in the eternities.

I was very fortunate to work with David in Irving Texas early in my career with JCPenney. David was a true friend that supported me during my fathers illness and was concerned about my spiritual well being. He was truly a special man...his smile and laugh would fill a room. My thoughts and prayers are with his family and friends.

I feel I was a lucky person to have known David even though I never had the pleasure of meeting him in person. I met him thru work at his most recent company and we instantly got along. Of course it didn't hurt that he was a reality show junkie like me...he would call my office and say he was my big brother after one of our favorite shows. I will miss our talks...and his laughter. I know he is in a better place now. My thoughts and prayers are with his family,friends and fiance.

Dear Monica and Morgenson Family,

Words cannot express how sorry I am. I too had the pleasure of knowing David during my early days in Dallas where you all became "my extended family". I remember the big fun gatherings at Jack and Greta's with lots of chatter, laughter and of course delicious food. David was a true gentleman and a great guy.
Blessings to each of you.
My love and sincere sympathy.

May God bless the family and friends in this time of sorry. David will be missed by all who knew him. That big smile could turn a bad day into a good one. He was not afraid to share the loving grace of God, through witnessing of Jesus Christ to his friends. Rest in peace David.

When I first came to Dallas in the late 80’s I got to meet and work with David. All I can say is that he was the most honorable person I ever had the pleasure of meeting. Most of our conversations at lunch would be work related but often we ended the time talking about our families. I knew David as a very devout person to both his family and to God. It was easy to be friends with David and we continued to keep in touch but less frequently after he moved back to NH. David did move around quite a bit but maybe it was God’s plan to have David touch as many lives as possible. He was a strong influence and the many kind words said here is testament to his character. I look forward to meeting you again David. God Bless!

I would like to express my deepest sympathies to all of David's family in this time of sorrow. Our family saw David last in 2004, when Mark, Matt, Meagan and I came to visit him on our vacation to the great state of Texas. We enjoyed our time with him at the aquarium, having lunch, seeing Texas stadium and visiting with his great family. I got to see him briefly for dinner one night when we were in Dallas for a meeting in 06. I have missed his smiling face and his big laugh since the many days I used to work side by side with him in Nashua, NH. at JCP. We had many lunches in the food court with good friends; Chris, Ray, Bill,Dorothy, Scott, Filkins etc. Mark and I played softball with him on the JCP team for awhile and that was a blast with Scott and Jerry and Chris. We also lived in the same condo complex in Merrimack at Webster Green. We even did some carpooling with Scott Gerlach for awhile, which was lots of fun in the car. He will be greatly missed by everyone who ever knew him. I wish I could be there for the services, but since we are so far away I want to say how sorry I am for your loss and want you to know that my thoughts and prayers will be with you all tomorrow especially.
Love, Lisa Sturgis

With his wonderful smile, David was one of those rare people you meet that make a consistently kind and positive impression. I am blessed for having known him. My thoughts and prayers go out to the family and friends who are feeling this loss.

To the family and friends of David - I'm so sorry for your loss. I've been praying for months and will continue to pray for so many reasons. I always enjoyed dealing with David in business. He always made sales people like us work harder than normal! And I loved him for it. I learned and grew from those experiences. My heart is with you all and my spirit is at peace knowing that he is with God.
Lovingly and Respectfully,
Jess C.

Occasionally, into each of our lives, walks a person whose presence is subtly influential yet truly notable and who possesses that rare quality of putting everyone around at ease. That was David from the first moment we met and continuing throughout the time we worked together.

What a blessing and comfort David was to to all around him. He will always be loved and respected by those whose lives he influenced.

In the 3 years I had the pleasure of being associated with David and the 6 years I have known him, I never saw David without his trademark big smile and wonderful sense of humor.

David always kept things in proper perspective and consistently demonstrated character and leadership in both his personal and professional life.

David exemplified the best of what a father, son, brother and teammate should be.

I shall miss him greatly and will always remember him fondly...I pray the Lord will bless and keep David and his family, always.

I haven't seen David since I worked at McDonald Technolgies. I do remember that he always made me laugh and smile. He was a good person. I am so sorry for his friends and family. Loosing someone that was just a wonderful person is truly devastating, but you have to look at the bright side that you are blessed with an angel that will always be on your side. My thoughts and prayers are with all who were close to him.

Uncle David was a role model for me. His attitude was always one of positivity and joy. Although we will forever miss you David, your passing was a blessing. It is heartbreaking how one day you were here and in a flash was your time to move on. Away from the world we live in you are probably an angel now. At the least, I know David is in a peaceful place where his soul will shine eternally. You will not be forgotten, thanks for being such a great person and inspiration; we will see you soon.
