Dave,
It will take some time to get used to not seeing you drive up and down the road on your tractor. I still remember when you pulled me out of that ditch when i was still in high school.You were a good person and we know you are in a better place. You will be missed by all of us.

Dave,
I will truly miss seeing you on the road driving your tractor and pulling a hay wagon. You would always smile and waive as you would let me pass. You were a great neighbor that we could all count on. You will be missed by all!

Dear Family,
We are so sorry to hear about the loss of David. We used to buy baby beef calves from him. He usually had them all named. He loved his cattle. We enjoyed each time we got to see and visit with him. He was a good man and a pleasure to know. Our thoughts and prayers are with your family.
God Bless, Steve & Kathy Ashley

Dave was a good neighbor and friend to our family. Lots of good memories growing up with Dave helping my dad work on tractors, put up hay, or help with our cows on our families small farm. He was just over to my house a couple months ago on his tractor to help my husband. He was always willing to lend a helping hand. You will be missed.
