So many in the autism community benefited from David's tireless advocacy and his great ability to cut through the red tape to see that people in desperate need were helped. May he rest in peace, and he will never be forgotten.

He brought hope and peace to so many. It was a honor knowing and working for David. He was an inspiration to us all because he believed in his dreams and created a caring and compassionate place for children and families affected by autism. He will always hold a special place in our hearts.
“Keep your dreams alive. Understand to achieve anything requires faith and belief in yourself, vision, hard work, determination, and dedication. Remember all things are possible for those who believe.”
