David R. Earnest

Dave and Patty were neighbor's of mine in the 1980´´s. I fully enjoyed the neighborhood parties and theme dinners we all had with them in that neighborhood. My condolences to the family onDave´s passing. Best Regards, Gary Chase

I'm so sad to hear this. Dave and I went to Franklin together. Years later we chatted at many soccer games in Happy Valley. A great guy. Rest easy

A huge loss for many of us. Dave will be greatly missed.....

Some of you who are old enough may recall the show "Super Dave", a Television show in the late 80´s! The only difference between Super Dave and our Dave is that while the Super Dave failed many of his attempted stunts, our Dave succeeded in accomplishing so many things that many would have dismissed as impossible.

He was one of the most caring and generous people I have ever known. A true mentor and source of inspiration. May you rest in peace, Dave. You will be missed by so many the of...

So sorry for your loss. I remember David for his on going smile. It made you smile along with him. Always a pleasure to be around. I´m glad to see he was able to carry that through out his life. May he rest in peace. God bless you.

I´m saddened by your loss. David always had a smile on his face and a joy to be around in school. Debbie Hinkle Wall

He was a wonderful person. Attended grade school with him and high school. I always thought he was one of the good guys. It appears he carried that all through life. RIP my friend
