My daughter and I worked with David on her wedding at Zenner House a few years ago. He was kind, extremely helpful and made the whole experience perfect. We are very sorry and are sending thoughts and prayers for all of his family and friends.

I was David's section leader in the 110 in '90 and '91. I think he was in my squad both years. I remember a good guy who kept himself focused on what he needed to do. I grew as a person because of knowing him. It seems like it has been so long ago. It's good to see that he is rich in family. Blessings to all of you in your loss.

David was always so kind and welcoming. He was full of great ideas and ways to make things better. He knew so much about so many subjects yet remained humble to his core. The man was a pleasure to spend time with because he was patient, understanding and a great listener as well! Love you, David! You are greatly missed. ..Until I see you again!

David helped my husband and I prepare for our wedding a few years ago at Zenner House, and we were so touched by David's thoughtfulness and care. He went above and beyond to ensure our day was magical, and was truly a light. My sincere condolences go out to his family and friends.
