David B. Babauta

Hey Bro, I love you man, did I ever tell you that. You were my mentor and helped me with so many things in just a short time, If I can only be half the man, that you were, I will be in great shape. I sit here and am so jealous of where you are..

My wife Patsy and I were saddened to read of Dave's passing. We served together in the Army on Oahu, Hawaii at the Fort Shafter Community Commander's office. Dave was a dedicated and hard-working soldier, but no matter how difficult or stressful the mission he always lit up the room with his positive attitude and great big smile. After retiring from the Army Patsy and I were delighted to find that Dave and his family had also settled in Washington State, and enjoyed getting together with them...

from everyone at Associated Grocers who had the pleasure of knowing and working with Dave, we offer our condolences to the family. to me personally, he was a friend.he shared his joy at becoming a new grandpa,and being a grandma myself it was a race to see who could talk the most about our grand daughters. when my own daughter was in the hospital, he had his church pray for her. that meant a great deal to me. he will be thought of and missed for a very long time.

I will miss you. You were always polite and courteous.

He was my cousin but when his mom became my godmother, we became closer for we were brothers in the eyes of God. I was sadden to hear of his passing but rejoice for he is now with our lord in heaven. He may be gone, but I will always treasure the times we spent growing up together. A brother and a friend, I will truly miss him. My thoughts and prayers are with the family.

I am writing on behalf of Dave's friends and former work partners at Insulate Windows in Auburn Washington. We were all saddened to here of his passing and wish to send our condolences to his family and friends.

Dear Dave, I will most certainly miss that great big smile and all the help you gave me to become a church greeter and usher for PuyallupFoursquare. You always showed compasion and had a kind word to say about everyone....God bless you.....Virginia Roth

I was quite taken back when my wife told me that David had passed on.He was a kind and friendly gentleman to me when I attended my first *Men's Retreat* sponsered by the Four Square Church. It is a great loss to all of his friends and family to have him gone but not forgotten,it's reassuring though to know that he's in a better place of peace,happiness and contentment. I will truly miss shaking his hand each Sunday.
