The news of your baby Granddaughter Evalyn passing away is heartbreaking. Grandpa Dave holds her in his arms, tears whelming in his eyes, amazed how beautiful she is. His promise to Kyle and Leah is that he shall take good care of her until we all are reunited in the House of the Lord. Just to let you know Kyle and Leah we are always here for you.

Dave was a wonderful guy and will be sadly missed. The barrel race in Akin and motorhome trip to the restaurant will be remembered forever.

Dear Dave Gow Family,
I can't say how much my heart aches for you all. The memorial service brought tears, laughter and a congregation of many family and friends who have been touched by Dave's unyielding kindness, spirit for life and love. I'm sure he was watching from above with a smile from ear to ear , tears for his love Kathy, his boys, his girls and all those beautiful grandbabies and yet another darling little one on its way. Dave heard all the stories about him and all those...
