Not sure what to say?

I've known David since the 1980s and he'd always have a smile on his face. His kindness, positivity and laugh were contagious and you always were feeling happy around him. His legacy on giving and sharing will always be fondly remembered as it directly supported meaningful and necessary local organizations. Rest now my courageous and funny friend.

David was not exactly all that. Bless him, and his soul. I would not wish this lifelong thing on anyone.

I delivered to David back in the day at AK Rikks (FedEx Ground) and he was the most genuine person. Always talked for a few seconds each day and he gave me a watch that I will always keep. Prayers are with your family David. Going to miss you. Steve Roach

David will always be remembered for his kindness, charm and outstanding love for people. His contributions to the community were immeasurable .Please accept our heartfelt condolences. Bob and June Hubbard

David was one of a kind. Always compassionate, a great listener, an amazing leader, and a treasured friend. He had a strong faith that I learned a lot from. We had great adventures together as youth leaders. So much laughter. We even shared time as work mates at AK. Thank you for all of the love and wonderful memories. I cherish our time spent together. Blessed to have been friends. Onto the next adventure!! Ron and Robin Maxim

Ohhh David...you SERIOUSLY fought hard...your determination alone kept ME going in my dark times...many laughs were shared in our fashion classes at CMU (making that blazer really sucked) I can see you now styling everyone wherever your spirit flows...keep spreading the love and light, while watching over us....and gimme a nudge if my outfit isn´t right...you will be missed by many
