Thank you to the David Badour family for sharing the memorial service online.
We are Vickie and Steve's friends in Reno, Nevada and very much enjoyed learning more about her father. I remember the excitement when David flew out there to run with his grandfather. He did a beautiful job with the memorial video.
You are all fortunate to have been touched by this wonderful man. Our hearts are with you.
Love, Larry and Eileen

My family has many wonderful memories of Dave. He was an amazing long-term friend and running partner to my dad, Jerry Knickerbocker. He was a caring father of my friend, Vicki. He and Pat even allowed my husband and I to use their cottage up north for our honeymoon.
You could not ask for a sweeter and more precious person and we are all more blessed to have had him in our lives.
We are praying for the entire family right now and sending our love for you all.

I was blessed to meet this amazing man a few years ago and watch him run in the Crim 10 mile race! His smile lit up every room he walked in. The joy, strength, determination and love he had for others is unmeasurable. He was a true blessing to this world.
My heart goes out to you all. I am so sorry for your loss. He will truly be missed. Praying for God's love, comfort and healing over your family.
We Love you,

Dear Shar and family,
My dearest sympathy upon Dave's passing. I will always remember his giving spirit and generous smile. His boundless energy while running, walking and bicycling. Sharing a few minutes greeting his neighbors. Dave will sadly be missed by all who knew him.
Keep your memories close. God Bless you and your family in these darkest hours.
