I am deeply sorry that David is no longer with us in this world but I choose to remember him as he was when he was with us. I, and those who were there, will never forget the day we were sitting on Kelly's porch. We were visiting and watching the neighborhood when this little kid was racing down the street on his bike. He was peddling as fast as he could but he was looking backward for some reason. He failed to see the truck parked on the street and ran right into the front bumper. The truck actually rocked side to side. David picked up himself and his bike and shook his head side to side like he was shaking it off and got back on his bike and rode off. I will never forget that.

My family and I were so terribly saddened by the news of Davids death. What a senseless loss of life. Our hearts break for you. Our thoughts and our prayers are with your family. We were fortunate enough to meet David and Mike when they both came to clean our carpets, in Avon, and again when we moved to Speedway. We struck up a great conversation about the Cubs and a lovely, kind, and sweet friendship was made. My daughter Olivia was very upset at the news of Davids death. We are so sorry for your loss. No words can express or seem adequate to send you love and prayers.

There are no means to justify the anguish that has been weighed upon you during this time.
I'm glad to know that David was a soccer player, and a good one. When I look at that football I see a unique spherical design that illustrates the whole, the complete. Nothing quite like it, and a Good One!
May the feelings of helplessness turn into renewed hope.
