may the lit candle heal the hearts of those in need of healing.

I live Williamsburg on lake 46517 a property owned by MR David Stern, may the lord bless you and your beloved loved ones you leave,

I will always think of Mr. Stern the Commissioner, The Head Of Basketball! I am so sorry for his passing. May all who mourn him receive an abundance of support from family and friends. God is the source of life. He yearns to welcome all those who are in his memory and to see them enjoying the benefits of His promised New Heavens and "New Earth." May the God of all comfort be with all of the family during this stressful period.

David Stern will always be remembered, as a beloved husband and father, a luminary business leader in sports, an esteemed colleague, a thoughtful mentor, a dedicated friend, and an inspiration to millions across many cultures and countries. May his memory always be a blessing.

i was very upset when i read that david was rushed to a hospital and even more upset when i read that he had died, even though i had not seen him in 63 years. david and i were in special and 9special together and he was voted most likely to succeed .... and succeed hr did...in all ways. even though i wouldn't have used the word then. david as a 14 year old boy, was a mensch. it is ironic, but i found out that i am only 6 days older than david. my heart goes out to his family.

Thank you Mr Stern for what you did for the growth of the NBA

As a Sports VC and someone investing in sports and deep tech, David Stern is N inspiration and mentor to all of us. He had been an early investor in many game changing startups. His legacy in NBA will be remembered forever. This was a loss not just in sports but beyond .

Losing a loved like David is never easy. May the God of comfort give you peace and strength during this most difficult time because he cares for you (1Pet 5;6,7)
