David Philip Leary

David and his butterflies! I was amazed at how gentle he was when one landed on his finger. AND his amazing smile and that wonderful laugh. I still think about David and pray for your family. David has taught me so much.

Your picture is on my bulletin board behind my desk every year as a blessed reminder of your loving heart and our time together.

Our favorite story. Always in my heart...

I was just thinking about David and Ethan yesterday. I saw a monarch butterfly and that always makes me think of David. He loves butterflies! When one flies by me, I believe David is saying hello and letting me know that he is walking and laughing in heaven, playing with his zebra and talking to his beloved family. Thank you for sharing David with me. It was my pleasure to teach him and learning with him. I will always remember David for his big smile, hugs, and terrific belly laugh!...

My sweet David, it feels like yesterday and forever since I heard your voice, held your hand, kissed the top of your head at the end of the night. I still sing your favorite songs yo myself...hoping you hear. I try to read our favorite books. I usually end up in tears. Some of my favorite memories are of us cuddling on your couch, reading books. I miss
you, Zip. We all miss you do much and love you alwsyd

A star shines bright in the Heavens in your name. There isn't a day that doesn't go by that I don't think about your smile. I'll see you again and promise to ride zebras and giraffes with you...

Please accept our sincere condolences on the loss of your sweet son, David. You are in our thoughts at this sad time. David could never have wished for better parents.
Sending all our love and support.
Scott and Lori Harvin

Maria, David and Ethan,

I had the joy and privilege to work with David on a number of occasions as a substitute teacher at Franklin Township. He was a beautiful little boy who loved the classroom and his classmates. He will be missed by many and touched so many lives.

Eternal rest grant to him, O Lord; and let light perpetual shine upon him. May his soul, and the souls of all the faithful departed, through the mercy of God, rest in peace.
