He leaves behind a brother and sister-in-law, Barry and Connie Worth; a sister and brother-inlaw, Sue and Craig Graham; a brother, Jeffrey Worth; four nieces and a great-nephew.

To the family of David. I was so sorry to hear about his passing. David was so sweet and funny I know he gave alot to my family when him and I were married. I was so glad to see him when dad died he had thought enough to come by with Sue I know Dad would have appreciated that. Dad never stopped talking about the times him and David would deliever newspapers. Now I know they are in heaven together probably having a good laugh with mom along side of them. May god bless your family. David's death makes me so sad but I know he will not suffer any longer.

I saw David a couple of years ago at my dad's funeral and I was so glad he was there because I hadn't seen him in such a long time. I didn't know he had been sick for so long. I will always remember his laugh and he will hold a place in my heart. He will be greatly missed.

Barrry, Sue, and Jeff, I was very much saddened to hear about David's passing. David and I became friends when we were about 13 years old. I loved him like a brother as well as one of my best friends. He was truly a unique person. I will miss him very much and I look forward to the day that we will meet again, where there will be no more pain, no sickness and where death will seperate us no more. My prayers and thoughts are with each of you.
