David Kyle Stambaugh

I was absolutely shocked when I heard that David had passed away. He seemed so full of life and was always having a great time. I remember the famous massages on his portable table that always seemed to be at hand. This earned him the appropriate sobriquet "back-rub Dave". We'll miss you.

David, I feel very fortunate to have met you. I laughed and enjoyed seeing you when coming to LA for work. James and I will surely miss your wit, laughter and mostly your friendship. Rest peacefully and travel well. Never goodbyes, just so long friend!

To the family of David: I send my sincerest sympathies, I am deeply sorry for the loss. I feel not only lucky but also honored to have been a friend of David. We had lot of great times. I will always remember the funny things David said. You made us all laugh. I am so deeply saddened that I won't hear that laugh again. Your visits with Saddi to our place will surely be missed. Nina and Tia miss you and so do I. "Via Condios" my friend.

I was scanning the obituaries when I saw the notice and it hit me like a kick in the stomach. I never really thanked you enough, David, for giving me your shirt (not off your back, but damn near...) to wear at the last reunion, but it was so typical of what I remembered of you. And I was looking forward to seeing you again at our birthday picnic next month. Now you must be 59 forever....
To Dave's family: I don't have to tell you what a smart, funny, and humane guy your father was. I...

I found out about David's death from the Western High Choir email. I didn't know David that well but he was always such an outgoing nice guy. I graduated in 1967 so saw him around campus. God Bless your family at this time. Linda (Cantrell) Magnuson

Was so sorry to hear the sad news. As one that has lived through an unexpected loss - you will, in time, be able to move forward and smile with all the wonderful memories. Our prayers go with you

I didn't know his name - but I knew he belonged to Sadie. Every morning, there they would be - he would have his crossword puzzle, and Sadie would be sitting with him. Most mornings, my dog, Sailor, and I would see them on the trail. On mornings when I might be feeling a little down, just their prescence would reassure me - a constant in a time where things aren't always constant.

He was always kind to us - and we will miss him on our morning walk.

To his family & Sadie - thank...

You will be missed GREATLY!
