His memory will forever remain in the hearts of the Prescotts, a cherished reminder of the beauty of lasting friendships. In honoring his legacy, we celebrate the profound...

In loving memory of a wonderful person. We will love you and miss you always.

David was my uncle. I just found his obituary. I knew him when I was younger. I remember him as being kind and funny. R.I.P., Uncle Dave.

Close to 2 years after Mr. Gleason passed away I remenber him like a God of Olympus. The time he look for me when I was completely alone in a big restaurant in Geneve, he talked to me like a master/father and I felt a magnamimous/humble soul.

Even I couldnt be part of the Austin family I have had the privilege to touch the Olympus trough him.

An honor for a peruvian to meet Mr. David Gleason. My greatest appreciation to his family and especially to Mike.

My deepest condolences to the family. Dave was simply one of the best men I have ever known. My years as a leader at Hazelden and after was enriched by his counsel and support. There is a brick with his name engraved on it at Project Turnabout, a Minnesota treatment center for alcohol and drugs. It honors a donation he made without ever visiting the place. What a heart! What a loss. RIP Dave.

Mike,

My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.
