David Michael Schum

I am David's father. I want to thank all of you for your wonderful memories and sympathy. My wife and I have been touched by the hand of God in all this. We have seen the tremendous outpouring of prayers and generosity. I look at pictures of Dave from Christmas and he looked so happy and alive. His bipolar condition was severe and lethal. I am thankful that God sent Dave to us and that he gave Dave an extra two years to be with us. Dave should have gone to heaven two years ago but his mission...

As a cousin to Dave I was ahoked and suprised to here the news but i know he is in a better place now that always lets me sleep better at night i cant remember sll the times he was here but i here storys and i see smiles on my familys face when telling these stories. I want to let Joy Paul Clair Daniel Tim and Mary that i love them and i miss them and i pray for them every day

DAVID WAS A GREAT PERSON TO BE AROUND. HE WOULD ALWAYS PUT HIMSELF SECOUND. THOUGH HE WAS MY COUSIN I DID NOT SEE AS MUCH OF HIM AS I WISH I COULD HAVE. WHEN I DID IT WAS ALWAYS A BLAST. IT WAS EASY TO TELL BY HIS ACTIONS WHOSE KID HE WAS HIS PARENTS COULD ALWAYS SEE THE BEST IN EVERYTHING I WISH I COULD DO THAT. MY HOUSE HAS A POOL AND WHEN HE AND HIS FAMILY CAME OVER FROM WISCONSIN WE HAD A BLAST FOR THREE DAYS STRAIGHT. DAVID WILL BE GREATLY MISSED BUT KNOWING THAT HE IS IN A BETTER PLACE...

My sincere thoughts and prayers go out to your family, friends, and every life that was touched by David his short time with us on earth. I did not have the honor of meeting David, but am deeply saddened since receiving the news. I am touched by the outpouring of love for your wonderful son with the tributes left in this guestbook. May He find peace in the embrace of God's loving arms. God Bless! Jill Johnston (Pius XI parent)

david will have a special place in everyones heart, and now in gods home. rest in peace.

That little punk has made me cry till my face hurt; it's a good thing he left me with so many good memories or I woulda beat him up in his casket. I'm his older brother so I've known him for quite a while but I never had any idea how many close friends he had until I saw that line outside the wake. Wow. We think there was something like 5 or 6 hundred people at the wake then another couple/few hundred at the funeral that weren't at the wake. My mom said she actually aches a little bit from...

When I heard of David's death, my heart broke in two. David was a wonderful person. I knew him in middle school, he was in my German class, his German name was Gunther. I will have fond memories of then. I'm just sorry I lost touch with him after he went to a different school. I'm going to miss him dearly. My thoughts go out to all of his family and all his friends. David we all miss you. We love you!

I did not know David personally but I know his brother Paul and his wife Nicky. Our deepest sympathies go out to your family. You are all our prayers.
