David R. Stokes

I worked with Dave at St. John Hospital, he always talked about becoming a police officer and especially a Michigan State Police Officer. I am so glad that he met his goal and made his dreams come true. we lost touch after we both left the hospital and I have thought about him through the years. He was great to talk to no matter what he always had a kind word to say, and if I had a problem or was upset he always had great advice or knew how to make me feel better. Dave, I am going to miss you!

To the Stokes family: You have heard from several of us from this online community known as |tb| Tactical Brotherhood. We knew David (Skemos) as an awesome friend and gaming brother. It is so strange sometimes that someone we've never met can leave such a lasting impression. But we "hung out" with David and came to love him. Thank you for sharing him with us as well. I pray that the great God of this Universe would grant you peace and comfort in this most difficult time. I pray that He will...

David, my little brother.

We are not finished. Your power is great and your legacy will live on in the others hearts who were so fortunate to share in your natural gifts. You always operated first from the heart, and with that lead, you will always be an inspiration to us all.

I cannot say rest in peace, but I can say "Continue in the peace and joy that is you"

Heaven needed you, God gave us your memories. You will always be my David, my partner, my buddy,...

"I met "Skemos" online through our server, Tactical Brotherhood as-well. He was a terrific skilled player and was a blast to have around. He will be remembered well among our clan and my thoughts and prayers are for his family.

I only knew David as "Skemos", a fellow online gamer in our Tactical Brotherhood Clan. We shared many interests other that gaming such as golf and DJ-ing. "Skemos" was a strong personality online. I'm sure he instilled this same strength in his family, to carry on. My heartfelt condolences to you, his family. May your Faith provide the strength needed at a time like this.

Sincerely,

To the Stokes family, I just wanted to express my sorrow for your loss.
Dave or Skemos as I knew him was a Great guy to talk too. He was a member of Tactical Brotherhood a gaming clan. We had many nights of playing games and telling jokes. This has been a shock to us all. God will take care of him for sure. He always takes care of the good ones.
Rest in peace Skemos, you will be missed Brother.
