I had the pleasure of working with David when I got hired on with TSA in March 2014. As I got to know David, I found that for all he has accomplished in his life David was as humble as any person I have ever met with a servant heart as big as Alaska itself. I will miss him dearly as my thoughts and prayers go out to his family. Respectfully, Andy Wiltse

Dave was one of the nicest and most genuine guys I've ever known. We met during our years at West Point, were room mates there for a time, and have remained friends for over 30 years. I was shocked and saddened by his much too soon passing. Robin, Savannah and Julia, you are in my prayers, and those of my family.

I had the honor of meeting David while we both went through training in Oklahoma City in 2011. He was a great guy to have called a friend. My sincere condolences to the family.
