To David's Familia:

I am so sorry for your loss. I just learned of David's passing and want to extend my condolences. I went to Marshall Elementary School with David and have the fondest memories. I had him in most all of my classes and remember his "clowning" around. He left us much too soon. Peace

I remember David and my Little brother Casper De La Cruz always hanging out together whether it was on "C" street or at the Washington Center or at McKinley Park. I will always remember him as "Lil David." He was a sweet young kid and turned into a wonderful Husband and Father as shown to me by his brother Jamie via FB. I am so saddened to hear of his passing. I wish I would have been able to attend the services, but unfortunately I had to work. May God bless you David Zuniga. Rest in Peace my dear friend and old neighbor.

My heartfelt sympathty to the Zuniga family. I have lots of good memories making music with David back in the day. He was so funny and made us all laugh on those long roadtrips in that crowded van. I am so sad.

David was always a nice respectable man. I remember his creased khaki's and pedeltons with his shiny shoes. He always dressed nice and was super friendly. Iam sorry for the Zuniga families lost. May he rest in peace. I did notice last night that even though his spirit has lifted his work was still being done. He brought a whole bunch of us together last night. All of us were his friends and family. Gone but never Forgotten play your congo's in Heaven my friend until I see you again.

Pray that God comfort the Zuniga family with his grace & mercy. Appreciate the sincerity of the long conversations David and I had over the years about his love for his mom & dad, his family, his wife, his children (old & young), his hopes and desire to do the right things in life. I will miss you my friend & neighbor! Oh my servant you've been faithful over a few things, now come on up higher and enter into his gates with praise. In your absence I will continue to pray for your family & children; I will miss the laughs & our coffee talks my friend; now rest!
