Dear Family,
David has been a friend of our family's for some time now. We are blessed to have known him and are so saddened to hear this news. David has spent many hours with my son, Colt, here in my home on Nettles Island. He was pretty good at keeping his finger on that doorbell! He always greeted me with a big smile and a big hug. We will miss him so much!! You are in our thoughts and prayers.

Dear Family,
Debra Swilling Burleson is a friend of mine. Went on FB Help The Jedi, was drawn in by this incredible young man. He won the hard fight, with God, no longer sufering, no more pain, inside gates of Heaven, walking streets of Gold, looking at the beautiful Mansions, seeing the River Of Life, listening to the Beautiful Music and seeing all of those who passed before him. He was much to young to pass, focus on that smile, light he shown in your hearts and the wonderful memories...

I just found out about David from the posting at the library about the walk tomorrow. I didn't know him or your family but I am unbelievably sorry for your loss. I just hugged my daughter extra right and told her about a true Jedi Warrior named David.

Davina, Leslie, Lisa and Ben,

We were saddned to hear the news of David's passing this day through a railroad engineer's wife. May you find comfort in the beautiful memories you have of his short life here on this earth. From reading his obituary here in the Asheville Times, it sounded as if he is now residing with his heavenly father and that he fought a courageous battle with his illness.
