To David's Family...I am very sorry for your loss. David & I grew up together in Chesterfield & then graduated high school together. He was always the best...I'm sorry that distance prohibited my knowing his family but I'm sure you have the same joy and friendship that he showed to everyone as a young man. God bless.

Always honest and trustworthy, I admired the way Dave could rise to take on challenges and perform as best one could expect no matter the difficulties. I greatly admired his faith, love of his family, and respect and kindness he gave to others. My condolences go to the Schaefer family; may you take some comfort that your husband, dad and grand father touched the lives of so many of us in such a special way. As I grieve his loss, I am grateful for our 25 years of friendship I had with him...
