David L. Severson

Somehow on Saturday at the memorial service in your honor, I just knew you were looking down with humbleness and yes, pride to hear all the nice things said about you by your true dear friends. We should all be so honored when we pass on to the great beyond! I remember the times you spent at my house with Gary, Mark and David E. What a noisy bunch you were!! I think I must have retreated to my bedroom many times because you all would get so excited watching whatever sport was happening at...

Dave was a good guy and a fine son-in-law. I felt like he was my own son after his father died. We had some long talks about it. He left a wonderful grandson for me to enjoy. My daughter will miss him greatly. I regret not being able to go to Promise Keepers in Washington, D.C. with Dave. Our prayers and the prayers of our church have been with Dave for 3 years. And to Dave, Bon voyage! Vaya con Dios Buddy! We'll miss you. Love, Gary

Dave,
Although I have only known you for a relatively short time compared to some of the others, you made an impact on my life and I will always remember you for that. You were always extremely supportive of me and I appreciate that. I feel truly blessed to have been able to have the opportunity to be your friend and I cherish the memories of all the good laughs we had together and I know that one day, we'll be able to laugh together again. I also look forward to talking with you about...

Dave
Words can't explain how much influence you had on my life and how much you meant to me as a friend, but as our friendship grew stronger i realized that people like you are rare in todays world. No matter what the situation was you where always there for me and found away to cheer me up and you become almost like a father figure to me for being there for me all the time. I know that You are up in heaven with no worries like being on time to work or changing your brakes on your...

Dave,

I had lost touch since just after last year's class reunion. That now saddens me even deeper. My prayer is that you are singing with Heaven's choirs and feeling no more pain. To your lovely wife and most precious child, may your spirit that was always so full of life remain present until you meet again. My love to you all that are suffering in this great loss.

Dave,
I am sorry that I lost touch with you years ago. I am very sorry that we all have lost touch with you for now. My family was praying for you and we will continue to pray for your family. None of us will ever forget you. And in closing Dave 2 Timothy 4:7 comes to mind. "I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, I have kept the faith." Brother, our fellow RK's told me you fought the fight, you kept the faith and now your race is finished. You are in a better place....

Dave,

You and my brother, David, were great friends. He considered you a best friend and "brother". He will miss you terribly, but believes your pain is now gone. He would always tell me that he would give anything or any amount if it would relieve you from your pain and sickness. David, as you know, is not computer saavy so I decided to write this for him. Could you please look for my grandmother and nephew up there? Her name is "Mutti" and my nephew is Levi. Tell them...

To Dave's family:

I knew Dave through my brother Mark. He really was a great guy, and I know the whole gang will miss him very much. My prayers are with you & your family during this time. I hope that God will give you comfort.

Dave,

Thanks for being a good friend. Although our friendship was not as close as in the good old days at Oshmans's, I still enjoyed seeing you at Mark's house for fantasy football. I still remember the days you continue to take Al Del Greco. Thanks for the memories.
