Violet & Junior,
I know there are no words that can ease your pain during this terrible loss.
I can't express in enough words what a great guy David was. Still to me this is unbelievable. Tree had so much going for him and he was so young.
In a lifetime you will meet many many people who will come and go. I had the pleasure of working with David for many years at Lear/IAC. David was one of those people whom you meet and you can never forget. David had a way of touching your heart. Even though we were no longer co-workers I never forgot Dave and thought of him often.
He was such a gentle kind hearted person. He never had a bad word to say about anyone. I never heard of anyone with a bad word to say against him. Everyone he met they loved him. He just left a place in your heart.
Dave I am going to miss you so much. I never got to see you that much but I knew you was there doing what you loved.
Now Dave you are an Angel in God's beautiful kingdom and friend I will miss you so much! I love you my friend.
Violet, Junior you had a wonderful son who will remain in our hearts forever.
My thoughts and prayers are with you all during this tragic time. May God guide and comfort you and place his healing hand upon your broken hearts and lead you through this terrible time until you can once again be united with your son.

I had the honor to meet David when he was starting out with the rescue squad. I worked in the ER and they would come in for training. David had high morals. His love and caring for his patients showed in all he did. I pray for you to have peace in knowing where David is now and that one day you will be with him again!

I pray that something that is written or said will comfort you in your loss. I was honored to have known Dave. I have been with him at many concerts/events and always felt so protected by his intimidating stature. He was so very kind to everyone. I always had a blast around him. If there is ever anything we can do for you please do not hesitate to ask.

I am very sorry to hear of the death of David. We go back so many years and this just does not seem possible we would have to give up our children. David was such a good son and I am certain God placed him here for such a short time for a good purpose. The memories you can cherish will certainly take you through this troubled time. I will be in touch with you Violet. May God Bless and I am sorry I could not attend the services.

I worked with David side by side for many years and he was always nice and full of life. When you were down he would always say something silly to make you laugh. i will miss him terribly. Violet, I wish I could say something to make you feel better but I know that is not possible. Just remember he is in a better place and we all love you.

Mr. and Mrs. Presley,
With a saddened and heavy heart I express my condolences to you. To have spent the time with Dave early in our EMS careers as we worked together and attended paramedic class together, I discovered that he was one of a kind. A very special person and friend with the kindest of hearts. As we would sometimes call him a Big Teddy Bear. A Great Man this world has lost but Heaven has gained. May God Bless you both.
