I'm sorry to hear of Dave's passing. I send condolences to Katie and his family. Although, I had not seen Dave since high school, I had heard he was a good family man and worked hard for them. God be with you in this time of loss and need.

David, it has been many years since we cruised main street Sonora, Ca but I remember it like it was yesterday. You were always my best friend and even though it has been a long time since we were together, I always knew we would remain friends. I am so happy how your life has been spent serving God and providing that leadership to your family, community and church.
To Katie, I share your grief as David left you far too soon!
With love, Peewee

My love and truly heartfelt sympathy to you, Katie, and all your family. Dave was larger than life, full of life, and full of compassion and kindness. What a great legacy to leave for this community and his family. His change of address was welcome for him and sad for his friends and family. May you take comfort in the knowledge you will see him again.

Whenever I was in Ola visiting family, and we would go to church, I was impressed how Dave would be Officiating a lot of the Service; whether it would be a normal Sunday or the Christmas Eve Service. I respected that he spoke with Command but with Compassion for people. Dave always made me feel Welcome. I was sad to hear of Dave's passing. He will be missed as not only a vital part of the Ola community but for the person he was. My heart and prayers go out to Katie and the family.
