Read MoreDavid was one of Tyler's best friends in elementary and middle school before we moved away, and they kept in touch afterward. We were all so saddened to hear of your loss. I pray that in time your pain will be lightened by the knowledge that David will live on in the hearts of all the friends whose lives he touched. He was a wonderful and very talented young man.

Mr. & Mrs. Rubini, I am so deeply sorry for your loss. My son Michael and your son were good friends and fellow fire fighters together. From what I knew of David, he was always a sweet boy and always brought fun and laughter everywhere our son's went together. Its completely unthinkable the amount of pain you must be feeling. Your son was very loved and will be very missed.

Mike & Jane...we are so sorry for the loss of David. We were fortunate enough to get to know David by having him travel with us to Jalonga a few times. He always brought a huge smile and a helping hand as we worked with this village to help make it a better place. David will be missed by many. - Doug & Bruce

Dear Mike, Jane et al,
I remember David as a child with a smile and warm heart for everyone. One could see his love and appreciation for family and relatives, even at a young age. How heroic of him to desire and act on being part of a profession that helps people, even by risking one's own life.
I can see that he would love dogs, and how they would love him back. It is appropriate that his fire Department was on Dalmatian st - the name of a dog that everyone loves.
I...

We do not know your family but we know the pain you are feeling as we lost our 17 year old grandson, Ryan in February. There are days when you feel like you can't go on but you learn to take one day at a time. Your memories, pictures and stories and reliving the joys and good times you had together have holped our family cope. Our thoughts and prayers are with you and your family. God Bless You All.

Words are so difficult at this time, and they will never fill the pain and void in your hearts. Please know that our prayers, love and thoughts are with you now and in days and months ahead. We may never understand your pain, but please know that we are thinking of and praying for you and for David Joseph John, your beautiful son. May God ease your pain and sorrow, and may He assure you that David is with Him now and forever, looking down on you and Jane, his loving parents.
Sincerest...

Dear precious family, I know this is a difficult day and I will be praying for each of you. 2 Peter 3:8 says that with the Lord one day is as a thousand years and a thousand years as one day. So you are not saying good bye to David, you are saying good night and I will see you in the morning. As you are saying goodbye, someone is saying hello with open arms!
Sincere sympathy,
~Larry & Dee Brock~
