What an honor it was to have known such an awesome person as David was. I'd never met anyone as generous with his time. He did so much for me. We enjoyed many hours with our coffee or iced pepsi on my back porch. Not much of serious conversation, Just a lot of laughing, injoying life and just plain old chit chat. Oh and his most talked about subject was always about "his girl". He bragged a lot about little Mckenzie. I've never seen so much love in such a little person as I saw in her for him and the feelings were the same with him to her. They had a bond like no other. It was a beautiful relationship! Angelic almost. I know that he devoted his time wanting to watch his babies, Skylar and Mckenie! He loved taking care of them!

I'm going to miss David awefully bad. He was a truly a great friend to me. He'll always have a place in my heart , and has given me a smile on my face when I think of him and in my thoughts... great memories are attached!


I know its hard on all of you. I'm so sorry for your pain. I know he was loved by you all and thet he's going to be missed terribly. Just comfort each other by sharing memories of the happiest of times with him and God bless you all.

Kenny jr, you hang in there, honey. I'm praying for you. You'll be alright. I know God has plan for you and your family, Just pray on it. I love you guys, If you need me let me know.
