David Lee Balfe

David was only part of my life for the last twelve years, Once I got to know him, our relationship grew. We talked at least once a week on the phone and I was always impressed with his transparency and terrific outlook on life.
He and I became best buds. I will miss him.

Dan Balfe,

First, let me give my condolence to you, Dave's mom and all your family. David was a part of our family, all the relatives knew him, the children grew up seeing him as extended family, and Dave was Bryan's best friend. David had great patience and understanding for Bryan and was supportive in his childhood creativity. David would participate in Bryan's imagination, once David informed him he was an actor. I've included two of the small films staring David and Bryan with...

It still hasn't been 40 days since David died. So please keep praying for him.
It seemed like David had a chance to recover and he tried his best. It seemed like he was going to return home and have the determination to keep getting better. He did not give up and it's something that impressed me.
The trip I remember best was when we went to South Lake Tahoe and Reno. Dave and I shared a room and I got to talk with him a lot on the way back. Bryan was just a baby then, and now...

A genuine man with a kind heart, always ready to help when needed by his fellow man. The world is a better place, because you were in it .

Today, the San Mateo County Board of Supervisors adjourned in Daves honor. We recognized his friendly manner, his desire to always be helpful and his love of the Redwood City Senior Center. Dave was a kind soul and his genuine smile will be missed by all he touched. See ya later buddy!

Our deepest condolences to the family. It is difficult to mourn in a time when gathering is restricted. David was warm, outgoing and had a great sense of humor. He was pragmatic and cared deeply for all of the people in his life. He will be missed. Thank you to his parents for his life. Sincerely, the Diaz-Villalta family.

Deeply Saddened by the news of Dave leaving us. He was always such a positive soul. He always graced us with his friendly demeanor, a smile on his face and an interesting story here and there.He meant more to the people around him than I think he knew and I appreciate the time we could know each other.

Many of us in Redwood City will miss Dave. He was a very nice guy who was always trying to learn new skills and improve himself. He would go to the Library to use the computers to look for jobs. Dave had grit, I admired his perseverance when learning new computer programs. He loved music and would check out music CDs that we would play on his CD player as he walked around the City. He was polite and greeted everyone with a smile, a wave and would say How are you doing buddy.
