Your birthday is next week. I´ll be recovering from a surgery so I´m posting your birthday wishes now so as not to miss that most important day for me sending you special thoughts on 10/24/93. I love and miss you everyday. Several of your "brother´s in arms" stay in touch with me still. Their continuing to stay in touch with me says so much about your influence on their young lives. I´m glad for their calls...they always bring me closer to you when I think of your last hours of life on...

I think of you everyday my beloved grandson. Your Gmammy misses you to light up my life with your loving ways. You are forever in my heart and on my mind. Everyone tells me I need to move on from the tragedy of losing you and that time will heal....still waiting for the healing to happen. Not there yet.❤❤❤

Miss you brother, thank you for service we will always remember and miss you down here. There has been alot of things that happened since you have been gone that would have been so much better if you were still here with us. Happy memorial day.

I worked with David at Sears. We kept in touch over the military years. He found his purpose and was a good man and soldier. I really miss him. God keeps him safe now.

Just thinking of old times, missing you. Everyone still misses you bro. Spring is finally here, everything is nice and muddy , would have been a good mudding day its 75 and sunny. But its probably always 75 and sunny in heaven say hi to everyone for me. Love you miss you bro

Rena: I am so sorry. Though it has been years I still remember family friends and search for them occasionally and found this heart breaking obituary. I knew from Adam's name it had to be you. I hope you are well, I have fond memories of you in New Jersey and in Grand Island, NE. [email protected]

David hard to believe its been almost a year since you left. You have been missed so dearly down here by everyone. I catch myself looking back at photos and your voice pops in my head and its normally you saying something inappropriate as you always did but hey that was you. Still see you wearing Alyssa Roses stretched out broken ball on your head as hat like it was yesterday, when that was so many christmas's ago. Its just not the same anymore without you here. Hope you have a good christmas...

My sweet grandson..your G-mammie misses you so. My heart is forever broken and my days are lonely and sad knowing you wont be coming through the door anymore calling out your special name for me...G-mammie. I think of you often..daily..tears still fall but you left me with 24 years of sweet memories. Seven days from today it will be one year ago you went to be with your mother, Tammy, and your great-grandparents who loved you so. On Dec. 11, 2018 I'll be at the cemetary to leave flowers on...
