Not sure what to say?

I am saddened to find this obituary as I sit here looking at my collection of Lost Sendero Buck Art that David provided for my wall. We had many a good visit when he came to Mc Allen and each time I tried to add more of his talent to my view. Even to getting my nephew to start a collection also. I have been missing him and now I know why, thinking he is only two years younger. I am glad to discover a granddaughter who is taking up the brush also, although I love the venados of

To Beverly I offer heartfelt condolences. David was an amazing artist and a kind soul. I enjoyed all the visits we had over the years and his hunt with us at our ranch in Rocksprings. I am lucky to have several of his original paintings and will cherish them always and think of him when I see them. My last talk with him was in September 2016 so I was shocked to see he had passed because things sounded to be going better. RIP David.

Sincerely,

I am so sad to hear the passing of David. I met David shortly after I got in the hunting industry and him and I really hit it off. He was a true gentleman with a generous heart. I am proud to have gotten to know David,I the prints that I purchased will keep his memory fresh in my mind and on my heart. My prayers for his loving bride and his family.

God Bless you buddy.

I just heard of David's passing while watching an episode of the hunting channel. I am soooooooo sorry, David was a fine man and a major talent. I have 3 of his prints on my walls including one he autographed for my son where he wrote a nice personalized message, bought my first prints from him in the early '80's he was a fine man and a gentleman and it hurts to hear of his passing makes me feel like a light has gone out great guy lucky for his being here! he will be remembered for his art...
