Our son Jeremy spent a summer in Glenallen and in Bettles when Dwayne and his family started their outreach to that part of Alaska. I traveled to Bettles and became acquainted with the King family. When David trained to fly helicopters, he came to San Diego and stayed with Jeremy and his wife Maribeth for that time. We as a family have a very close relationship with the King family and are sorely grieved by this tragic loss. We know this is part of God's plan and also know He will use it to further His kingdom!

Kathy and I send our deepest condolences and prayers. I have known Dave since 1976, my favorite remembrance is in 1978 on Dave's thirteenth birthday two of his friends came over to the parsonage and picked him up and dunked him head first into a barrel full of water to welcome him to his teenage years. I think he was perturbed. I thought it was funny. Mike Welch

Dear Dwayne King family,
The news of David's accident caught up with us as we were in the midst of moving from Michigan to Pennsylvania. Our hearts are heavy for you all in your loss. One of my favorite memories was of flying with David in his Super Cub over Glennallen for pictures of the SEND campus there. Words cannot express the sorrow and loss we feel for you all at this time. I wish I could be there to hug all of you.

To the King family from friends near Tok. Dave was an amazing young man. Having know the family since the early days in Tok, then Dave as my herring spotter pilot in Norton Sound, and friend we would run into each other wherever his adventures took him, I cannot imagine your broken heart. He always had a sparkle in his eye and a smile you could see a mile. David will be deeply missed by all who knew him. Sending prayers and hugs to all.

Never had the opportunity to meet you, David King. Our Lord decided to take you home to heaven along with some friends of ours, that we will miss dearly. Our hearts are broken for the King Family.

Our hearts are stricken, saddened. The unbelief of loosing David is heavy, yet knowing God is his master and that in leaving this world for the next David holds family in his heart even as he is mourned greatly. David will continue his work with the Lord now. Life has changed. We pray for God given release for family to make it through this sadness, a final measure of healing. Lo though you slay me I will trust you. David's great concern and love for his family and fellow man shown in his eyes. When Lazarus slept, Jesus wept in grief. So it is. The loss is great. Things will not be the same here, yet we know some day there will be a great reunion in heaven. May God help to sustain and give a measure of peace in this time of great loss and grief, Our prayers are with you all

We offer our love and wish God's tremendous comfort.
Even our grandbaby, Kaitlyn enjoyed flying with Dave. Blessed.

David rode in the seat behind me when I flew the DC3 over Marcus Baker and down the Matanuska. He knew his way around and was a very knowledgeable navigator. I'm glad I had those brief moments to experience a wonderful man.

I know that there is absolutely nothing I can say that will take the heartache away from the loss, I also know those memories we have no one can take away from us. I knew Dave and Debbie when they first met and was blessed to see love grow between this very special couple. I watched as that initial attraction grew into a bond so bright everyone who knew and was around these two had no doubt how special of a connection they shared. Dave was a very skilled pilot, great musician, wonderful caring husband and great friend with a generous heart that touched so many. My heart hurts so much for his death but especially for Debbie. We love you and we are here for you. Lean in my friend and we will help hold you up. Nothing can take away what you hold in your heart. I pray God holds you and gives you strength.

To Dwayne and the King Family: I am so sorry to hear of David's passing. I remember David staying with our family in Tok while Dwayne did his ministry in Glennallen. He and our son, Gerald had many happy times together. I did not know that David became a helicopter pilot! I still have one of his ivory pieces, an Eagle, from the early 70's. Fly like an Eagle, Dave and be sure and give my love to Gerald and his father in Heaven. My condolences, Cathi and Sherry Ipalook

There is nothing you can say.. but you must say something. These are the words used in my senior year sociology class after our professor used her own husbands experience in hospice as a classroom lecture. It has always stayed with me... there is nothing a person can say in this moment to ease the pain of losing David. Debbie, I consider you one of the most amazing women I have ever had the privilege of knowing. Your marriage to David and love for one another has been a beacon for so many. Although my heart is beyond heavy for you and your family in this delicate and tragic time, I am praying constantly for your peace and courage.
