With sincere sympathy and somber reflection Suzi & I share your brother David's passing as he was a close friend, comrade, co-worker & fellow midnight rambler.

We were all together sharing fun times we now revisit those memories as we stand together once again.
David was a rolling stone, a prince at a beggars banquet, a love maker, heartbreaker, & soul shaker, with a Hollywood smile.

You may feel alone but there are many of us with David on our minds who are feeling as you may. Please consider this but when tears come let them fall they help wash away sorrow.

We celebrate David's new incarnation as he has slipped the grip of our mortal plane and has stepped onto a much larger stage. He is snorting gold dust in the Hall of Kings.

Be not troubled if you may have felt David's hand lift off your shoulder rather stand in warm sunlight look beyond the stars knowing David is free & happy.

With much love my friend,
Sincerely, Kenni Cool & Suzi Q

If David was any part of your life you were destine to remember him and his smile.

I was fortunate for a period to go to JHS with David and remember a confident and encouraging robust personality.

I am gratified to hear David was able to live his life just the way I remember him.

Things in life that are truly genuine are long lasting and that’s why so many remember and feel the loss of their friend.

To Sue and Dessa, I understand at times overwhelming grief may feel unbearable, and I share that with you both as well as the entire family. Your family had a brother, son and friend to many that was tailor made to celebrate. Celebrate his life.

God bless you always, especially at this difficult time.

I worked with Dave on and off over the years on various jobs. I remember when he worked nights at White Oaks mall at the bar. He knew almost every single person who worked there and was friends with all of them. We always had a great time and lots of laughs.
RIP 137 brother.

My deepest sympathy to the family in your loss. I attended Jacksonville High with David, and I remember his smile...just like the one you have on this page. Unfortunately, I hadn't seen him since graduation--but it seems that he lived a short but beautiful life. Stay encouraged....Jeremiah 29:11
