I never got to meet David in person, but felt like I have known him for along time. My son Todd and him became very close through his daughter Heather. I heard nothing but good words about David. He will be greatly missed. Heather and Holly and the rest of the family may God hold you tight in his loving arms during this time of lost. My prayers are with each and everyone of you.

You were more than just a neighbor, more than just a friend. You were a part of my family. You were the one person I could trust the most with everything, no matter what it was, you were there to listen to me and help me get over whatever it was. I will continue telling you things, I know you are watching over me. You are someone I will NEVER forget, I miss you more than most words could explain, I love you.
