David Ward De Wees

When I was a supervisor at the rez center in KC David was on my team. We had more fun together, sharing stories and jokes. He could always be counted on and was a hard worker to boot. You'll be missed David. Put in a few good words for me in Heaven...your friend Nick.

David, wherever you are now, I feel your presence. I will always love and cherish the kindness and support you showed to me and my family. A truer friend never existed. Thank you for the words of wisdom, the hours of laughter and the kindness your heart shared with everyone you came in contact with. This world is slightly off kilter with your departure. I know you are at peace with your beloved mother. We are all counting on you to continue to guide us with difficult decision that we must...

We lived across the street from David when we lived in Las Vegas, he was a teenager then. He always had a smile and greeting for us. He spent time in our house playing with our baby daughter. He loved to practise his hairdressing on us, and one Xmas did all our hairstyles and we looked gorgeous. He was a gentle person, and we liked him very much.

Dear DeWees Family,
I know your family from many years ago. I actually had "little" David as a student in first grade at Christ the King School.I have a vivid memory of cute David and beautiful Sara with their Dad. I will always remember the kindness your father showed to me and to my family. He would go out of his way to help all he met. You will all be in my thoughts and prayers during this difficult time.

i worked with david at midwest express in k.c david was a very loving person and made me feel very special he was wonderful at cutting and coloring hair but most importantly had a heart of gold and would always lend his ear and heart david was a very important person in my life i will never forget david,gary and his family ...

David was a very special man and I am very proud and honored to have had him as my friend. I am so sorry for you loss my thoughts and prayers are with you.

I worked with David in the Kansas City Rez before it closed. I went to his house on many occasions with my family to get a hair-cut and just talk to him. He was always kind and caring to people. We will miss him so much. My heart goes out to his family and Gary. I cannot be at the services May 14th but he will be in my thoughts.
