David L. Newberry

Still missing Dave. Still enjoying many fond memories from our high school, work (Gee Lumber), and young adult years.

To the Newberry Family:
I am deeply sorry for the loss of Dave. I went to H.S. with him, didn't really hang around him but I've heard a lot of stories from my husband, Ron Kinzler. They all (Ron, Don, Bob, and Bill) reminded me of the movie "Stand by me" because they were all such good friends. Hopefully, you will find some peace in this terrible tragedy.

Sam, Karen, and Eric, I am so sorry to hear of Dave’s passing. It leaves a terrible hole in my heart.
It is hard to believe that I would ever have to be saying good-bye to my friend like this!
Dave and I were inseparable and not a day went by that we weren’t together like brothers.

It broke my heart when their family moved away. He was great fun to be around! I always wondered about David and where he was. Here's to hoping we may reunite some day in heaven!!! My...

Sam, Karen and Eric - We are so sorry to hear of Davey's passing, and know that he will leave a hole in your hearts and world. We have such fun memories of him, and hope that your memories will help get you through these difficult days. Please know that you're in our thoughts and prayers, and here if you need anything.

I remember Dave as a good and loyal friend to myself, Bob, Ron and Bill. Although I had not seen Dave much the last many years, he has always held a special place in my heart and his death leaves a hole their. So many great memories of time spent with all of the Newberry's are with me still. I am so sorry for our loss.

My families prayers go out to Mr. & Mrs. Newberry, Eric and David's soul. A tradgedy like this will always leave a scar, but turning to your faith can help all of you...
