David James Van Susteren

You are still in our hearts and memories. The family misses you and often has conversations about the time we enjoyed at gatherings. You were such a joy to all.

I will always remember your kindness and the love you had for the family.

As always David will be so greatly missed. I worked with him at Fulbright and learned a great deal from him. He had a way of making work seem enjoyable and not a task. God bless his family - such a loss to no longer have him nearby as a mentor and friend.

My father was a genuine and hard working man. He spent so much time working so hard, so that my sister and brother and I had an upbringing where we wanted for not.

After I heard of his tragic passing I was and am still struck and hurt very deeply. I now wish my father hadn't worked quite so much and that we all had more time with him. Growing up alongside my father was both tumultuous and inspiring. My father had his faults and he made his mistakes, but he also had his strengths and...

I served for years with David on the Houston Law Review Board of Directors. He was a true friend of the Law Review and dedicated countless hours of his personal time to help guide the Review to its current status as one of the country's most respected legal journals. We will fill David's position on the Board at the upcoming October Board meeting, but we will never be able to replace him. A true gentleman and scholar, David will be deeply missed.

I worked with David at Fulbright and he was such a nice person to work for. I especially remember the happy hours that we went to after work. David will be missed by so many people. My condolences to his children.

I am forever grateful for the genuine and abundant love my brother-in-law had for my sister and the rest of my family. The love he had for my daughters was true and transparent. He very quickly endeared himself to us with his infectious smile, hearty laughfter, and overall sense of humor. I will sorely miss our get-togethers and the bellyaches from the constant laughter, much of which was due to a typical Daveed faux pas! It wasn't if but when and it was so entertaining!! I'm smiling now...

Uncle Daveed was always so kind hearted, caring, & he was full of life laughter & love. He truly brought joy to our family & he was the best thing that could've ever happened to our family. I thank God everyday for giving me the opportunity to know him, & for those who didn't get the chance to truly missed out because he was a wonderful father, husband, uncle, & friend. Even though he's gone now, he will forever be in our hearts. Life truly won't be the same without you Uncle Daveed. I love...
