David Norman Key

To the Key Family,

I am deeply saddened by your loss. I worked as a student under "Key" at UNM I then went on to take over for him at St. Mary's University (He got me the job). I am sorry that I lost touch with David. My heart sunk when I heard the news. I wante to let all of you know how much I attribute what I know and do to David. My Paryers are with all of you in your time of sorrow.

Dana, Harrison, and Jordyn. I am so sorry to hear about your father's passing. You have my deepest sympathies. Keiffer was a great man and I know he was an awesome father and husband. He was such a strong person and I will never forget how he helped "push" me through the Houston Marathon back in 2002. David, I never would have made it without you. I'm sorry that we fell out of touch these past couple of years. I love you brother with all my heart and I will miss you...

As a classmate of David's since 4th grade, I have many, many fond memories to look back on. We will keep the entire Key family in our thoughts and prayers.

To the Keys,

I first met David at Spicewood Elementary school. I remember David as being a great athlete and, perhaps more importantly, a great sport. Though he usually jumped higher, ran faster, and made better catches, he never acted as though he thought he was better. David left lasting impressions in my mind of what sportsmanship is all about.

David will always be part of my youth. I have countless memories of time spent with David listening to music, avoiding homework, chasing girls, and simply doing things that kids do and enjoy together. We lose a part of ourselves when we lose a childhood friend, and we are all worse off without David. David, we will miss you greatly.

It was with great sadness that I read about David's death. We were good friends back at Spicewood Elementary and we would play sports (football, soccer, baseball) pretty much every day during recess. David was one of the best players and almost always one of the first guys picked when we'd pick teams. I have vivid memories of some of our best "plays"...

We had fewer classes together in Junior High and High School, but we stayed friends and he played drums with me and some other friends...

I'm so sorry to hear about David. I didn't know David, but I know of his parents from church (GHBC). I read the obituary and am at a loss for words. You have lost a son, a husband, a daddy and a brother and it must be so very hard. Know that I am sorry and that you all that are left are thought of and prayed for. May our Lord be the Comforter that you need. Love in Jesus to you all ~
