For some reason decided to Google my San Antonio cousin, my old debutante marshal for the Charlotte Debutante Ball in 1967 or 68. Haven´t seen him since. So saddened to now learn that sweet David passed beyond my reach just weeks ago! So sad, but how dear to read what a wonderful father, husband, professional he became. No surprise.

I am deeply saddened to hear of David´s passing. He was not only a dedicated attorney who expertly handled my parents´ estate matters but also a compassionate individual whose team provided invaluable support during a challenging time in our lives. His professionalism and kindness will always be remembered. Our heartfelt condolences go out to his family and loved ones during this difficult time.

I will always treasure my friendship with David. He was truly kind, generous, thoughtful and an old soul, even in his 20s. I so treasure the memories we shared and the times of young parenthood that absorbed us so. Love to all.

David and I were both from Birmingham but didn´t real meet him until we were fraternity brothers at W&L. During our first year of marriage my wife, Mims, and I enjoyed David´s company many nights. He would come for dinner and hang out. He was always a welcome guest. I enjoyed his friendship greatly.
