I remember David being my "best friend" during our years in elementary school. One memory that has always stuck in my head was when we were in 2nd grade. We tied our shoe strings together in a huge knot to signify that we were best friends and could not get them untied. Sis. Murphey had to cut our shoe strings and send us to the principal! I feel guilty not being able to stay close to david after switching schools but I do know that he was a great guy and my deepest thoughts and prayers goes out to your family. I was unable to attend the services due to military obligations. May God keep His hand over your family.

Ron, Diane, Eric, Josh, Janna and Becky,
Over the past week my family has reflected on the many memories that we share of David, especially on our daily carpool trips to ACA. One of the first memories that I have is that of David giving me a "will you go out with me?" note with yes and no checkboxes in first or second grade! We would have so much fun during those car rides and most of the time TOO much fun according to the driver. I'll always remember listening to David play the piano in your living room after school and how amazed I was at his talent. These are only a few of the good times we shared and I hope you are comforted by your many memories of David during this time of great loss. Our thoughts and prayers are with you.

We are so deeply sorry for the loss of your loved one. Inever really got to know David but I know he made sis very happy. I met David in Ky and he just blended right in with the rest of our family. The smiles he brought to sis' face when she just talked about him lets me know what a great person he really was . I know in this time of sorrow it is hard to hold fast but I know The Lord Jesus will help each one of you through this. you all are in our thoughts and prayers .. sis if yoou need anything please let us know

Sis, I am so very sorry for your loss. I only saw David once or twice, but he was a very nice young man. I know your heart is broken and you are still in shock that this could happen to your husband, a young man so healthy with his whole life ahead of him. The thing is, is that God has the plan, He knows the plan...we don't. It is sometimes so hard for us to understand and sometimes we never do. Not here on earth. But find peace in the knowledge that he is with God and everyone in Heaven is celebrating. We have a Hope in God. Hold on to that. I know that you have been through so much and already have had so many losses in your young life. Just hold on to God, let this make your relationship with him stronger. Give it to Him and He will walk with you, He will never leave you. To David's parents and brothers and sisters. Please know that my heart hurts for you. I, too, lost a son. He was 25. I know your heartbreak. God will comfort you. Hold on to Him in this time of unspeakable sorrow. You will miss him terribly, but he is in your heart and will never leave. You will always have precious memories of him.
Sis, know that I am praying for you.
God Bless and Keep You All

I was shocked to arrive at work Thursday morning and hear of David's sudden passing. I had just spoken to him at shift change the day before. I did not know him well, but it was easy to tell he was an exceptional person. He was always smiling and friendly. Everyone at work spoke highly of him as a hard worker. He was the kind of person everyone wished they could have on their crew. My heart aches for David's family. My prayers are with you in this difficult time.

Steve and I send our prayers for your family during this time of loss. Surely God has a plan for all of our lives, and David has gone on to be home with Him. There are no words appropriate to console your family, but may your faith in God bring you through this grieving process.

Sis- I don't know what to do to help this hurt that you feel. Just know that I love you and am always here for you. Anytime day or night. We have been through so much of life as sisters together but this is something we can't even begin to deal with. I felt good knowing David was here taking care of you and Tommy. I was so happy when you married him because I knew he was the one. I seen it in your smile and the way you lit up talking to and about him. But we'll always remember him and he'll never die as long as we keep him in our hearts.
Ron, Diane, Eric, Josh, Becky and Janna- I don't know you guys that well but from David and Sissy talking about you I have a sense of who you are. I am so sorry about David. I wanted to Thank You for letting him become a part of our family, and for helping to make him the man for my sister. I will always treasure the memories of my sister happy with David. Please know that I might not be able to do much, but whatever I can do I will. I know nothing will ever repair the hurt, but I will pray that God eases it with loving memories that brings a smile to your heart.

To my dear friends, Ron & Diane and their children...
I am still numbed by the message of your phone call last night. I struggled to find the right words to speak back to your broken hearts. I received a measure of peace, however, when you began to recount the events leading up to David's passing. It would seem that these for-shadowing events now serve to remind us that we whose hope is in the Lord, and who daily appeal that our footsteps would be ordered by Him who has conquered death, has now secured David, though beyond our mortal grasp to change, for eternity. His brief life was served out meaningfully and with honor. He now belongs to the ages. Take comfort my dear Ron & Diane... you will see and embrace him again. Until then, cherish the precious memories made with him. Recount them often to those who can appreciate and benefit from them. And, continue to invest in the children, still under your care, who will witness your faith in action, reminding them that the most important words we will ever hear is, "Well done, good and faithful servant... enter in".

You are all in my thoughts and prayers. David was a very bright student. I have very fond memories of him as my student and as one of Jered's friends. He had a very tender heart towards the Lord as a young boy and I always appreciated that about him.
