David Stephen Rodriguez

Not a year goes by that I do not remember you. A special person who I will remember. Audrey

David, my inspiration! You never leave my heart because your footprints are all over it, and even though another year has gone by the vivid memories that I have of you and your beloved family will never be forgotten. I love you and your devoted family in life, but I love you even more in death.

David. Yet another year has gone by, but in my heart it feels like yesterday. I will always miss you.

To my David:
I always have you in my heart, I thank the good lord every day for giving me the privilege to share some time with you, I know you are more alive than ever, where ever you are I am sending you all my love.

Even though the years have passed, David I will forever carry you in my heart. You were an inspiration to me. To your dear family, I send you all many blessings and again thank you again for sharing the life of your son and your wonderful friendship to me. Audrey DePass/Gyles

DAVID ALWAYS MADE US SMILE - HE MADE ME SMILE EVERY MORNING IN HOMEROOM IN CELITA'S CLASS -

To all who love David: I never had the honor of calling David, "friend". I do remember him being the little rugrat that ran around the buses on our church youth trips. Although too young in the opinion of us "BIGGER" kids back then, he always tagged along, because his parents were our youth group leaders. Just when we'd all be getting to sleep on those long road trips, there was little David with all of that extra energy running around the bus, keeping us all awake. . .I'm glad to see all...

The Rodriguez has been a blessing to me for years, beginning with the year I taught Derek and then David. DCS students loved being around David. He had a special way with the kids. I always looked forward to David driving our sixth grade students to Rapids. I knew we would laugh the whole way there and back. Rita, Ralph, and Derek...we love you. Thank you for being a lighthouse to the people of South Florida. David's testimony shines strong today!! We love you!! Ramon and Cathy

Ralph/Rita and Derek:
What a wonderful young man God blessed you with. He has made such a great impact on so many lives. What a legacy he has left. I cannot imagine how you all miss him. Just knowing him for the three years that I have worked with NTBC made such a lasting impression on my mind. We will always have him in our hearts. He did you proud and I know you cannot wait to see him again, with no pain in his body and that beautiful smile.
God Bless.
