Ten short days ago, David left his wife, children, brothers, sisters, and parents, for a place free from pain and sickness. His passing left a gigantic hole in our lives that will never be filled. My brother was a wonderful person who would have done anything for anyone. There won't be a day the rest of my life that I won't think of him and thank God he was my brother. David, we love and miss you. God bless you always.

Back about a hundred years ago, before Dave was a nurse, he learned to cut hair. I was lucky enough to be his instructor. He was delightful, fun, and dedicated. I am so sorry to hear that after years of healing others, he died just days away from a possible cure. Please accept my sincere sympathy. He was a great guy!

Dave was my mother's nurse while she was bedbound her last three years. His thoughtful, joyful care sustained us through her final hour. Through many dark days and storms, he was steadfast, bringing light and humor. I couldn't have done it without him. Whenever I feel the sun on my face, I'll remember Dave Atkin.
