David E. Nelms

I never had a better roommate as both of us had the same first name we went by little David and big David. I will always remember our adventures riding my trail bikes and the one time we rode a VW Baja down a steep hill with no brakes. I will miss him as I just discovered that he had passed as I have been in north Alabama since 85 working at a large university as a professor of computer science and engineering. Rest well my friend.

I am so sorry to hear about my old friend. I have been in north Alabama since the late 80´s and am a professor At Athens State University now. I just saw of Dave´s passing.

Dear Diana and Daniel,
We lift you in prayer in hopes that God will grant you peace.
We also ask HIM for strength for you.
Time passes so quickly, it was just a short time ago that you and my children took karate together.
Our clumsy english language does not give us beautiful word to explain the depth of our feelings now.
Know that Iwill hold your names in my hearts and call you names aloud in prayers to Jesus.
IN HIS LOVE

We would like to extend our sympathy to David's family. We met some of you at David's father's funeral. Sorry we never got to know his family that well. David has been taken at such an early age. He will be missed by all.

I am a childhood friend of David. I knew him when he lived in Inglenook many years ago. I was closer to his sister, Kathy. I was very sad to see that he had passed away. I wish I could remember more stories to tell about his childhood. I do remember the time when I had this great idea about how to turn a flip. David had a "see-saw" in his backyard and I stood on one end and someone jumped from a tree onto the other end and I was catapulted (sort of) up and came down on my head. Yeah, that was...
