David had many interests including disc golf, kayaking and partying with his friends and family. He is survived by his daughter, Sara; his parents; two older brothers, Chuck (Paula) and Ray; younger brother, Steve (Karla); nieces, Charlene and Kasey; and nephew Paul.

I've known Dave for over 40 years. We became friends, then roommates, then brothers. I shall never forget you, my friend, and the cherished time we shared as we grew up...the concerts, the river trips, and of course, Lawndale Beach. Who will sing with me now? I just don't know. See you when I get there - save me a place next to you!

Yesterday turned out to be the most shocking day I can remember. With just a few minutes to grab some lunch, I felt compelled to get a paper and peruse a few headlines. Well, I about fell out of my chair when I flipped past the obits and saw David's face staring back at me! No way! David is coming to see me tomorrow! (I'm his dentist)This just can't be!
I'll remember David for all the time we spent talking about all our many common interests (I always got in trouble with my staff when ever he was in), most recently he was proud to show off his recent late model Corvette project and we must have talked for about an hour after his appointment was over. We have lost a real gentle spirit in David's passing.

David will be missed by all in the Brode family. I remember how Pam and I would look forward to visits to your home when we were young, and how much we enjoyed the time we spent with David and his brothers. David will be sorely missed.

Dave was our neighbor and always had something funny to say and
had a smile on his face all the time.
He will be sorely missed out watering the lawn and hanging
out in his garage with his bro, Ray.
Out hearts go out to his family and he will be remembered in
our prayers.

David was one of the friendliest and funniest people I've ever met. If there's ever been a guy with a better sense of humor I've yet to meet him. My one regret is that it was far too long ago that I got to spend time with him. My heart goes out to the Dishon family in this trying time. Brother Ray and I were best friends for many years and that's why I was blessed to have known David. For all of those who knew David, my suggestion is to just remember the good times and be thankful that we got to spend the time we did with him. God bless you David, because I'm a better person for having known you.

Dave was part of the Swaine Studio "family" for over 8 years. He was a very talented and dependable graphic designer who helped us make the transition from triangle and t-square to computer. Even though it's been years, our sons, now 20 and 17, fondly remember the games he played with them. Our thoughts are with Dave's family over his way-to-early loss.
With the greatest sympathy,
The Swaine Family - Rob, Gay, Taylor & Kiley

Dave was a good friend and will be missed. I moved out to Arizona some time ago, but saw him several times a year when visiting my family. His brother Ray and I have been friends for over 25 years...where will we find a fourth for darts or golf as cool as Dave? He was irreplaceable.

I would like to believe that we never lose the people we love, even to death. Your friendship has left an indelible imprint in our memories. We find comfort in knowing that our lives have been enriched by having known you. My heartfelt condolences go to Dave's family at this very difficult time. Dave was a wonderful, wonderful friend to Gary and I and we will forever cherish all the memories. We're gonna miss you, Dave! Even though you are gone, you will never be forgotten....You will live on in our memories and in all the fun times that will be forever cherished. So long for now, our dear, dear friend......
