David G. Wendt

Dave, you were an incredible soul and altruistic man! Mission accomplished! Well done good and faithful servant! You epitomized what selflessness is by adding immeasurable value to my life (and I'm sure, many other athletes!) with no way to ever repay you. Who would've known that playing for you, and the DeVeaux Vikings, for three years between the ages of 10-13 would impact and establish the trajectory of my life and so many more. That's where my athletic endeavors and journey began and I...

Please accept our deepest condolences from your Start High School Hall of Fame family. Dave embodied the true Spartan spirit. Always a Spartan.

May the love of friends and family carry you through your grief.

I considered Dave as family. His friendship with my brother Harold is something I always admired. Our condolences to Melanie, Julie, Holly and his whole family. The world lost a good one.
Rest In Peace Dave
Gary and Linda Keaton

Dave, Adam, and Holly, I offer my sincerest condolences to you. As the days and weeks pass, and as you return to life's routine, may you continue to feel comforted by the love and support of family and friends. Your father answered God’s call on his life in a very meaningful and lasting way. Your father touched the lives of many young people and set them on the road to adulthood in a special, lasting way. He touched generations beyond what he or you might ever know. Sincerely, Ken Oehlers

Cousin Dave was one of the most laid back kind person I have ever met. It brings back fond memories of family parties on Walker street and hanging at Asbury park. He has left a legacy of guiding hundreds of young people in the right direction through coaching. REST IN PEACE cousin. Val Helldobler

My sincere condolences to Dave's entire extended family. I met Dave through my longtime former neighbor Larry Lakatos. Larry and Dave were close friends. I'm glad I got to know Dave, and to deer hunt with him in Ohio with Larry and his hunting camp buddies. He was a good man. I'm glad I got to know him personally. I'm sure we are all better people for having known him. Rest in peach my friend.
