Dear Dave (aka, Heady),
Tomorrow will be a hard day for us all not being able to see you. We all miss u so much.. More than you would ever imagine. I always wish and pray I could see or hear your voice for a half of a breath again. You where the best friend and such a down to earth real gentalman. You dont come across real laid back and down to Earth people like you where. Just purely irraplaceable and one of a kind pure real person. I will never forget you or the memories and good times we had together which we will forever share. Even after a decade now which seems unreal I always know your looking down on us and thinking of all us too. I love ya to the moon, to the sea , and back. On the sweetness day I know we will meet again. And until then ill see you in the rainbows like Radiohed said. I Love and miss you always and forever... We all do.

Miss you Dave. Thinking of you a lot lately. I have this pull to go see you so i will be doing that soon... but i just want you to know that i miss you and i hope to see you again soon in my sleep. You pop up there in my dreams and remind me that you are not far away. Which is comforting in a strange way. I always have you're mom and your sister in my prayers. i this of how much your mom loves you and it breaks my heart that you aren't with her. Its not fair. Were all getting older and you will forever be 22. Its a good age kid, but i wonder where 30 would have taken you? anyways i will stop by very soon and bring you something. keep on watching over everyone and come see me soon!!! :) always in our thoughts, forever missed.

Dear David,
I know it's been a long time since writing in ths special legacy book, but that doesn't mean it's because I don't think of you. Not at all. You are with me constantly, forever missed and loved. I think of you every single day, and still cry in the quiet night. Christine tells me funny stories of the good times you had and makes me laugh until I cry. The kids have grown so much, how I wish you were here to complete our family. You will never, ever be forgotten. You are forever loved.
Your loving mom.

Hey Buddy,
This is my first time writting you on here, sorry it took me soo long. I thought of you today. I don't know if it is because we are coming up on the 5 year mark or if it is just because I think of you often. So many random things remind me of you. I find myself telling stories of "the good ol' days" and somehow you are alway in them. One of my favorite memories would have to be coming out of the movies after the midnight showing of Dawn of the Dead thinking zombies took over and we were the only people left. I still geek out when I think of how freaked out we were! Well I guess I just wanted to tell you I was thinking of you, and how much your missed. Till we meet again my friend. Rest In Paradise.
March 3, 2012
Dear David,
I think about you every single day, you are on my mind so many times. The grief is just as strong as it was 4 years ago. I can only be comforted by thinking that somehow you are still here with us and are able to know how much we all love and miss you.
Love forever,
Mom
March 2, 2012
I don't ever write in this very often , but I think about you all of the time ...And I really miss you , ALOT. and even though its been almost 4 years ,it hasn't gotten much easier ...it is what it is and I have realized there is nothing I can do about it :(

Dear David,
I can't believe it's 3 years today since your tragic passing. 3 very long years without seeing you, talking to you. I think of you every single day and always will. When I'm at Christine and Eric's I get sad seeing how much you're missing out on, watching the kids grow, and their interests. You would get such a kick out of Jacob, seeing life thru a 4-year old's eyes again, as you did with Austin, Brandon and Tyler. The kids are growing up fast, and they all remember and miss you. We all do.
I love you and miss you very much,
Love forever,
Mom

Dear David,
It's so sad not having you here for the holidays. I think of you every day, and especially now I'm remembering all the Christmases we shared. We had great family times, it's so difficult to realize you're no longer here sharing them with us. But I believe you're still among us somehow, love never dies.
Love,
Mom
November 24, 2010
Dear David,
It's hard to believe we're now into the third holiday season without you. I miss you so very much. I think of you every single day, many times throughout the day, always. I can't describe adequately how much I grieve for you.
Love you forever, miss you forever,
Mom

When I see your picture I smile, and think...you were one genuine guy! I'll see you around David.

Dear David,
25 years ago today
you came into this world.
I cried with happiness
that morning.
Now, 25 years later
I remember you with happiness,
but now cry in mourning.
Always in my heart,
Very much loved and missed,
Mom

So after alot of thought, I have decided to leave this guest book online forever. And forever David will be missed by all who knew him...
When I arrive in RI this summer, David will be my 1st stop, it will be hard to go "home" and him not be there....
Still very much missed and Loved.
His sister, Christine

Dear David,
It is an everyday struggle coping with your loss. Someday I will see you again. My arms will be open wide, and once again I'll hold my baby boy in my arms, and this time it will be forever.
Much love,
Mom
April 16, 2010
Dear David,
You left us so quickly while we quietly slept
Shocked at the news, oh how we wept.
Then came days of anguish and despair
Trying to cope, shedding many a tear.
And though we must live without you here
You live on in our hearts,
Always loved always near.
Love forever,
Mom

To the best Uncle in the whole world, we all miss you Uncle David!
March 17, 2010
Hi"Little David" as we so often called you. A St.Patrick's Day will never pass without all of us thinking about you here in New Bedford. There are only a few moments in life that are clearly recalled - your Dad's call 2 years ago is one I will never forget. Your mom and dad still mourn their loss, we who knew you still remember.
Love ... Aunt Louise

My Lost Son
My lost son, where are you now?
I feel your spirit in the wind around me,
I see your sparkling personality in the night sky.
Even though I know you're still here somehow,
I still cry.
My lost son, where are you now?
The wind and the stars are not enough for me.
I miss you so much
I want to talk to you, hear you laugh...
Your face I long to see.
Someday I will find you and know what you have become,
The mysteries will clear, and you'll be there,
To greet me and guide me home.
Love,
Mom
March 7, 2010
We love and miss you David.
I thought of you with love today, but that is nothing new. I thought about you yesterday, and days before that too. I think of you in silence, I often speak your name. All I have are memories and your picture in a frame.
Love,
Mom
February 19, 2010
It might be almost 2 yrs but to me it feels like yesterday we were hanging out and having cookouts and what not....I will NEVER be able to the same again....Missing you is so very hard.
We think about you daily and often talk about you and your personality that was truly one of a kind. It is lonely to go from having such a great brother to nothing...
I see stories on the news of rotten people that commit disgusting crimes at your age and ask myself, "why David" he would have never done anything evil and was a good person...I will never have that question answered but I hope that someday we meet again and will be together...as if no time had passed.
You have missed out on holidays and birthdays and we have missed having you here with us...
I really do wish that where you are you could access email. lol
NEVER forgotton and in my heart forever...
From your sister that misses you like you would'nt beleive:(
February 17, 2010
Dear David,
It's hard to believe we're coming up to two years since losing you, just one more month to that terrible anniversary. Love never dies. I miss you terribly.
Love,
Mom
January 1, 2010
Dear David,
Here it is, another year beginning, and it is so unbearable that you are not here to enjoy life as you did with so much enthusiasm and vitality. You are so grearly missed and loved. Every single day I think of you. Christine and I talk on the phone often and we always speak of you, sometimes crying and sometimes laughing at some of your antics. We have great memories of you, but memories are not enough. We desperately want you back here to share life with us. We think that in some way you are still with us and watching over the kids, who also miss you.
I love you, we all love you, you're always in our hearts and thoughts.
Love,
Mom

It is so difficult for me not having you here anymore, especially at the holidays; actually always. I miss you so very much. This is not something that I will ever get over. I think of you every single day.

Dear David,
Today is Thanksgiving and it is so hard not to have you here, not just at holidays but always. The approaching holidays make it so much more difficult. I think of you every day and always will.

September 21, 2009
Dear David,
Christine and Eric made the most beautiful memorial of you - a slideshow with music. It's a wonderful tribute to you. Many many people are watching it. It is indescribable how moving it is. I cry every time I watch it and miss you more and more every day. This is something that none of us will ever "get over". We love you very much and I know we will meet again.
Love,
Mom

As I sit here sobbing trying to finish this project I have been working on for Mom's birthday -A slideshow w/music rememberance of you I just can't help but be sad , it really really hurts to have you gone. I think of you often and really do hope that one day we will see each other again. I am told by people alot that you are in a better place but it makes it no easier.
I miss you so very much David and always will, and do feel lucky to have had you as my "little brother"

Dear David,
It's now 16 months with you gone from our lives. You are remembered and thought about every single day. Your friends went to Bonnaroo last month, and they put up a memorial to you. I believe you were there with them somehow, your spirit is so strong.

Christine,
We are so sorry for your loss. David was a great guy. We only met him once or twice. We'll rememeber the day he took all the kids to the park and they came home so happy but they all slept well that night. thank you for letting us get to know him and the fun and time he spent with our girls. Our prayers are with you.

I decided to keep this guest book online for another year...I find it comforting to be able to share memories of you that will never be forgotton...Words will never express how much I miss you and how often you are thought about...
NOTHING can ever compare to losing someone so quickly and having it be forever , I hope someday we will be together as if no time had passed and it can be just as if nothing changed.
It saddens me that you never got a future and things are the way they are, I often wish that I could have just a few minutes with you but realize that it's not going to happen right now.
Me, Eric and all of the kids miss you and love you.
your sister
Christine
April 17, 2009
Dear David,
Soon this Guest Book will no longer be online, but it has been comforting reading all the wonderful entries. I am overwhelmed by the many responses and thoughts others have shared. You were, and still are, a unique being. Your spirit is still here with us.
Today is 13 months since losing you, but you will never be lost in my heart and memories, or in many other hearts...you were very much loved and that love lives on. Love never dies.
Rest in peace my son, and one day we will find each other in another place, forever.
All my love,
Mom

It seams like yesterday we were planning our next show, or going down to bonnaroo, or making up ridiculous names for each other. Sadly, it was 1 year ago since I seen you. Things are not the same without man, you are forever missed. See you on the other side

Dear David,
It is St. Patrick's Day and my Irish eyes are still crying. It is a year now since you climbed the stairway to heaven.
I miss you so very much, I think of you every day. You are forever with me in my heart and memories.
I have faith that I will see you again some day. Each passing year will bring me closer to that day when my heartache will finally be healed.
David, on that day I join you, my arms will be wide open, and once again I will hold my beautiful baby boy, and this time it will be forever.
Much loved and missed,
Mom

Still I cry.

The wind and the stars are not enough for me
I miss you so much

Dear David,
We are nearing the end of 2008,
A year I will always truly hate,
The year you met your tragic fate
and changed our lives forever.
The future years will pass by
With emptiness and sadness, I'll still cry.
Your memory will never die
with family ties no one can sever.
Loved and missed,
Mom

With all my love, sadly missed

David, it's almost Christmas
I wonder do you miss us,
Are you still with us?

We'll feel your presence anyway
in a special way we cannot see...

Dear David,
Today is Thanksgiving and how I wish you were still here with us. I am very thankful that I had you for my son, I am thankful our family was picked by God to raise and love you during your time on earth.
I am thankful for the wonderful brother and friend you were to Christine, and the fantastic uncle you were to the kids, and how you welcomed Eric and his kids into our family. You welcomed Ed too, and you were happy for all of us in our new extended family. We were all truly a happy, blessed family with you the shining star at our gatherings.
I am thankful for the spirited, funny, animated and caring person you were who stood out in a crowd.
You were unique, and I am sure you are a unique angel now, still with us in a new way.
Love forever,
Mom

Hi Dave,
I just wanted to tell you how much I miss you. It feels like forever since we spoke last and I hate it. I wish to God you were still here with us. Everytime I listen to Radiohead or TOOL, you always come up in my mind and I truly hurt inside. I hope someday we can see each other again. Love and miss you forever...
November 18, 2008
From the very first moment our eyes convened, you became a chapter of my life.
This is a scar, That I have now reluctantly acquired.
You've made me realize the true meaning of living. If only I'd known before you left...
I remember you,
I remember all of you.
All of your smile,
your eyes open wide.
Always laughing;
the stories you'd tell.
Beautiful nights spent connected;
Wonderful evenings spent exchanging thoughts;
thoughts that only you and I understood.
It is all permanently implanted within my heart,
within my soul,
within my everything I could ever wish to have.
Using all that this world could never fathom, and well beyond, how do I express how deeply you are missed?
I believe there is no such way.
You are forever carved within my heart.
No one will ever know the wonderful times we had;
No one will ever know the words we shared;
No one will ever know the places we went,
the things we saw,
the people we met,
the memories we made...
But I do know one thing's for sure...
These things are all I have left of you;
pictures embedded in my mind;
your voice playing over and over;
your smile;
your laugh;
your eyes open wide...
and the way you'd look at me - with a look no one else has known;
a look I will never see again.
I will always miss you.
I will always love you.
I will always remember you David.
I promise, as sure as we'll meet again, I promise you I will always remember.
Thank you for putting so much meaning into my life, while you are here and while you are away.
I wouldn't trade it for the world.

Dear David,
It's 8 months ago tonite that we lost you...we are all missing you so much. The holidays are coming and it's so painful for me. I miss shopping for clothes for you for Christmas. Just last Christmas you told me you loved the things I had picked out for you...you said I always knew just what you liked.
Whenever I'm in a store and happen to walk by men's clothes, I automatically find myself thinking I'll pick up something for you, then once again I'm jolted back to the reality that you're gone.
I think of you every day and always will. I'll be sure the kids have a good Christmas; I remember how much you loved them all and always were so generous to them at Christmas. That will continue on your behalf.
Love,
Mom

Dave, you popped up in my head today, and I thought of that day we were in the breakroom at Riverview, talking about birthdays and I was excited mine was coming up and you asked when it was, & that's when we found that we had the same birthday and we sat there practically amazed ha..When I was at the wake, it didn't really register in my mind until I reached you and I couldn't hold it in. Mark walked up to me before then and gave me a hug and said you still had a smile on your face. I looked across the room to maria and that was the first time I saw her in agony. When I shook your father's hand I couldn't control the tears anymore, because I could not even begin to imagine the feeling of losing a son, someone who literally came from you. I pray that God gives your mother strength and your nieces and nephews everlastingly memories of you. We will never forget you Dave. By the way, the sky looked beautiful this morning, you must've been nearby. I'm trying to practice more portuguese so I can teach you more when I see you again :-) Love you Dave, Cristina (Your portuguese buddy)

Hey Dave, Its Bill from work. I have tried to write in this journal a few times now but could not seem to get the words right. There is a huge hole in my work crew that will never be filled. The guys are all doing well and we have just began talking about all the great times we all shared together. All the time I knew you you always spoke so highly of your family & over the past few months I understand why, I have been in touch with them all & they have come by work to visit a few times and they are always welcome to visit your old work station. I even mentioned to your little nefews that when they are old enough to come see me & we will see if they are as good in the kitchen as there uncle Dave. Well thats about all for now I feel better now that I have sent you this note. It wont be the last one for you will always be in my thoughts.

Dear David,
Soon it will be 5 months since we lost you, and I just miss you so much. As the summer has gone on, I can't help but think of the music festivals, camping, and outdoor activities that you loved so much and are not here to enjoy with your friends. All of us still feel the loss. You get many visitors to your site.
Last month your coworkers and management staff had a memorial service for you and dedicated a plaque in your name. It was a great tribute to you.
Christine, Eric and family have taken up camping; they bought a pop-up camper and go to a campground in NH. They love it. Over this past weekend, Ed and I joined them and really enjoyed ourselves. It was my first time camping, and sitting out at the campfire I was thinking of you and realizing why you loved camping so much. How I wished you had been there with us! But I do think you were there somehow; there was one bright star in the sky right over us, and I sat there looking up at it knowing somehow it was you. The next day while everyone was packing up, I was walking just a short distance away, and from the empty campsite across, I heard a guitar strumming lightly, for about 30 seconds. There was no one around at all; all the neighboring campsites were empty, so I know it was a sign from you that you are still with us. I felt so peaceful then.
We will be going back again to that campsite and I look forward to it; it brings me closer to you. We plan to go the end of this week, I am on vacation. I will also be coming to visit your site, I feel you there too. There is so much love for you here on earth.
Love,

You are very greatly missed. I just have to keep the faith that you are in a better place and our family will be back together again with you some day.
Very much loved,

David,
i went to visit you on ur b-day! i'm still thinking about you! and missing you more and more as the summer approaches! i know that u would have gone out on ur b-day for some drinks with friends, or maybe even to the beach with me! it was a nice day! we could have grabed lunch at the ocean mist had a drink and even a free one! never have been there with out the owner buying us a drink! i would have definatly had woodchuck and u would have had some kinda ipa, dog fish thing. ( i don't remember the names of the beer that u drank, i wasn't a fan way to bitter for me.) maybe even we would have taken a shot becuse it was ur b-day to celebrate! then we would have went for a long walk on the beach. i know i would have wrestled with u and push u down in the sand. also would have called u a tourist for old time sake ( came to the beach last yr with no bathing suit but still braved it and went swimmign with me). we definatly would have cold stone creamry ice cream on the way home from the beach! u know how i love my ice cream! i am getting my grandmother's beach house for an entire wk this time dave, u should be there to hang out with me and cook for me ur supposed to be my personal cheif! what am i going to do with out u?
ur sister just emailed me and said that she is going to mail some pictures of u to me! stinks that we were caught up in our fun and we never took any pictures! so as long as my memory don't fail me, which im sure its fine! u will be remembered for all the good and crazy times together, wheather it was at the beach, wrk, or just or occassional dinners together!

Hi David,
Today is Mother's Day and I plan on coming to your site and will bring the kids. I am sorry that I did not bring them for your birthday yesterday but I hope you understand that I knew it would be hard for me and in front of them I try to hold it together the best I possibly can, yes it was a very rough day but I was glad to see that you had visitors, I had waited untill later in the day so I could be alone, I brought you the flower and the balloon. When I pulled in and started to park at the first tree I looked up and saw that pinwheel spinning so fast in the wind as if to say "over here" and knew that was where you were under the second tree. In any case I try not to get so sad but the feeling of not having you is horrible. I kept on thinking how we were suppose to buy you a new grill to go for your birthday so you would have it for all of your summer festivals such as Bonnaroo and that is why we had talked about getting it in May instead of as a Christmas gift.
We will all be there later this afternoon and like I said yesterday "Happy Birthday"
David and I love you.
Jacob as young as he is still does remember you, he runs over to the poster that your work had made with all of your pictures on it and points to you and smiles, just like you always had a smile on your face.
BTW- I did go to your work and it was everything you said it was, all the food and what not, and everyone there misses you so much. I can even picture you in my mind showing me what you did there and you just being you so full of life.
Love Always
Christine

Dear David,
It's your birthday today, May 10,
And I can't help but remember when
You were born and placed in my arms,
I was the happiest and proudest of moms.
Your life ended too soon,
Like a song not yet sung,
In my heart you'll always stay
forever young.
All my love, miss you so much,
Mom

Dave,
It’s been a month now since you’ve been gone. Things have not been the same. I miss looking into your deep, inviting, and serene eyes. Your earthy, raw energy still surrounds all of us in the world. I can see in every entry we all feel that “You are still here” with us. The first few weeks after I heard the news, I was in almost a dazed coma toast state, with a huge weight on my heart. Everything had no rhyme or reason. It was such a draining few weeks. I felt like I was waiting for something, that was never coming, but yet I still waited. The emptiness of losing your love and your friendship was so tremendous it still pains me. Now as the weeks pass it has gotten better, but it will never completely be better. I still tear up everyday when I think of you. Whether it is on my ride to work, home, or lying in bed at night, you always cross my mind. Everyone that knew you know how disciplined, hard working, artistic, musical, loving, creative, romantic, comforting, tenacious, resourceful, harmonious, honest, and easy going you were. You had such a good work ethic, loved all things natural, and also loved your time to ponder on things. You loved and your family and the café staff and it always showed. The person you were naturally, and you your image of your face, is everlasting to all of us. I remember when we talked about our sweet escape for hours at your apartment. When we talked about that place, we felt like we were there mentally, and physically. We made plans to go there this summer. When I do go to that special, block place, I will always think of you every time. Every time I look at the beautiful sky, the surroundings areas, and all the beautiful sunsets, I will think you. We almost ran away that very day to our sweet escape. Every time when I look at the clouds, moon, sky, and sun I know you are there shining down on all of us. Every time I hear all the songs that remind me of you I get goose bumps all over. Everyone and I wish you were still here with us. I swear I can almost feel your presence sometime. I hope someday, someone as beautiful in and out as you will cross my path again. I long for the day to be with you again Dave. I love you and I will always and forever will endlessly. I will miss you endlessly till no end in sight. I do go to visit you were you rest now. Geez its about 15+ miles from where I live but I still go often. Everyone is right; it is such a serene, peaceful place. Again I didn’t know it was going to be my last chance to see you that day. I know you understand and you will be waiting for me endlessly. If I could apologize I would. When you asked for me I should have gone to you. You will always be in my heart, spirit and in my mind. I love you and miss you David Roy, we all do and always will. J I love you xoxo

Dear David
It is now one month since we lost you and I am still grieving and feeling the pain as much as I did on learning of your passing. This past month has been such a nightmare, I think of you constantly. My broken heart will never heal.
All my love,

its been a month since you left us and I still have a hard time going in the caf and hoping it was a dream and you will be there. You will never be forgotten Dave. Today is month since we heard the news and it it still stings my heart to know you will not be there smiling and joking. So sadly missed. I hope you are playing that guitar and singing up a storm in heaven with all the other rockers!

Hey Dave... Its Amanda again. i wanted you to know, that even though its been a few weeks, I didn't forget that you aren't here with us. I think about you every day, and I hope that your family, especially your dear mother, knows that I am not the only one... I was just another person in this world that YOU made a difference to. I do feel at peace though, every time I look into the sky and see a blue sunny sky, with clouds that are so fluffy they look like a simpson's cartoon! I know that you are there, with your HUGE dimples, smiling down at everyone and making them smile because you, even in passing, have a way to do that to me. You have always just been able to do that. I know that you are no longer in this world, but I feel like you have found something better for you, and it will be a joy to meet you again... until then, i will not forget you, or the day you left us. and I will keep writing to you and checking those clouds for your dimples....

Christine & Eric I'm truly sorry for your loss. David was a cool guy who's love for his family beamed from him whenever I saw him. He was taken way to soon. Please know that you are in my families prayers.
April 4, 2008
Dave, there are not eough words to describe the sorrow felt by your loss. the memories we shared will last forever,i can never forget. i hope you're at peace,wether you're in the sunshine or a serene spirit place. you now lie 4.4 miles away from my house,and i go to see you all the time. i'm privileged to have known you so well,you lit up my life and if not for you, i'd still be smoking cigarettes most likely. what i would do for one last hug,crazy things. i think of you constantly,and my deepest sympathy for your relatives. i can't fathom how it feels for them. i know it's been too long, but i still loved you,and will miss you forever.

the cafe is not the same without you... you are truely missed by everyone.. everywhere i turn someone has a picture of you with that famous smile on your face...and my thoughts and prayers are with your family everyday

Dear David,
I sorry it took me do long to sign this book. I still find it hard to believe you are gone. Unlike many of your friends I did not see you so often. It was usually at family get togethers.
During the last week, I've been thinking of the times I did see you. I remember when you were a baby, a few times, I would drive you and your mother up to a Boston hospital. I was your guest at your kindergarten Valentines party. How about the time at your house, when you gave me you toy handcuffs, after I put it on one wrist, you told me you did not have a key. I remember the Saturday mornings, you and Christine would come over so you mom could go to work. (I never did find out who put the mark on the rug.) Although neither of us are political, we went to see President Clinton fly into our airport on Air ForceOne. That was the day before your 8th birthday. I enjoy bike riding, so I bought you a bike one year. Just a few years ago, I was driving down the road in the morning rain, and saw you walking to work. I was happy to give you a ride even though you were almost there. And then just last Christmas, you were telling me your plans and how you might not be able to make it to my annual Chrismas Eve party.
These are just a few of my memories of you.
One more thing, your grampa's Irish eyes were smiling when you came to him and Gramma on St. Patrick's Day.
I will miss you, Love Aunt Linda

Dave,
I wish I could tell you how much of a wonderful person and friend you were to me.
I'll always remember and cherish every moment we shared together. I loved hanging out with you every night last summer at my house, watching the fireflies and listening to music for hours. You and I would talk about what was on our minds. You would always make me feel better even if I had a bad day.
I'm so grateful you, Marc and I all went to that TOOL concert last year in July... you guys made that night one of the best nights of my life. I laughed so hard it made me cry.
To think that I can never see you again hurts me so much inside. I just can't believe you're gone. I still feel like you're going to be there in the cafeteria laughing and joking around when I go to lunch. I remember you told Lindsay and I that we always brightened your day when we came in. I hope you know you did the same for us. Being at work is so painful now. I think about you all day and I can't help but cry.
I'm going to miss you so much... I already do. I wish we could have spent so much more time together. It's just not fair, why did you have to go? My heart will always be broken. I love you, Dave. I will never forget you.

Dave was a great guy who was always smiling. Never had a bad word to say about anyone. I'll never forget Borat and all the other funny stuff he did. My deepest sympathy goes out to all his family and friends and to everyone who had the pleasure to cross paths with him even once. He is dearly missed.

I remember all the fun we had when you brought him to Kahnawake on Pow-wow weekend and we had a
BB-Q in the back yard. I think David even cooked with you girls, while I was working at the pow-wow. I will never forget David.

My son David loved to write poetry; there were 9 notebooks of David's writings found in his apartment.
Here are two that my family found appropriate and were read at his funeral service by his sister.
1st:
Years that have passed me by,
Some of them have hurt.
Here I am without you now
Knowing what this love is worth.
2nd:
"Still Here"
There's no reason for some things happening
And I am feeling we are at some great loss for many lives cut short.
Yet, I don't get overcome
My day is not done
I'm still here
I'm still here.
- by David E. Roy
David, we take comfort knowing that you are still here in some form, and that you truly know what love
is worth.
Love, Mom

Dave,
Sorry I haven't written sooner...I've been a little torn up about this whole thing. I was hoping that time would make it easier to say good bye, but it hasn't. How do I say goodbye so such a good person, how can I be at piece knowing that I will never seen you again? I know it's been a while since we've seen each other but you are always on my mind, the memories I have of you are ones that I share with everyone I meet. I feel like I should have been around more, last time I saw you we said we would get together soon but life just got too busy and we ran out of time. Now I have to wait even longer. truthfully that is the only thing getting me by, the thought of knowing i will see you when my time comes. I was really mad when I first found out, I thought how could god take Dave away from us but I've come to terms with the fact that he loves you as much as we do and he needed you. Everyone keeps telling me that everything happens for a reason, though I haven't figured out the reason I know I cannot change what happened. I hope you know that I always think of you and I miss you with all my heart. Look out for us while we're waiting to see you again. I Love You Dave Roy. You will be sorely missed.
Love Megan
I promise to always remember the good times.

Rest in peace David,
-I never knew you very well, not as much as my friends did, but i remember when we met and talked those nights at Evan's house, You were always happy and your smile lit up the atmosphere. The fires, and listening to the jammin of the melody you all helped to make. It created that easy going mood everyone had, and loved. Forever will your memory live, on through the music, we will remember...
Peace & Love

Dear Dave,
When I saw this awful news I didn't want to believe it. I just kind of froze up and felt a horrible chill run down my spine. You were the friendliest, fun loving, most outgoing person I know, and I know you will forever be remembered this way by the people who knew you. one of my fondest memories of you were at the wormtown festival, where you and I got kicked out of the draige trigue and spent the night in my van, listening to Miles Davis and Weather Report and just talking about all sorts of things. I am glad you enjoyed the book I gave you before I moved, and am heartbroken that I had to be 2000 or so miles away when the services were held for you. You will forever be in our minds and spirits, and you will not be forgotten, that is for sure. I'll miss you man, and I'll see you when I get there.
Love Always,
Billy Allard
