Dave did so much to help make NISD better for all students. This was evident when he served on the School Board and beyond. He leaves our community better because of his service and involvement with many organizations. Job well done Dave. Prayers for you Carol.

We were sorry to hear about David. Y’all are such good neighbors. We don’t see much of each other but always visit when we do. He was a kind man. Call any time. The Butlers
