Will always love you little man! Still remember staying up all night playing sega and snes with you, and your crazy power ranger obsession! Not to mention gorging on all the crackers and squeeze cheese. hahaha We were quite a few years apart, but it did'nt matter. You were my brother and always will be. Can't wait until I get the chance to see you again. Thinking of you always <3

My dearest David,
I can't believe you are gone. You brought so much joy to me and my family. I remember baby sitting you and the fun we had outside, at the park/playground and just going on walks down by Smitty's Cove in Whittier, throwing rocks in the water. I remember you laughing out loud and I will always remember your smile. Prayers to the Summerhays family from the Krol family.

I am sad to read today about David's passing. Life changes when a loved one is lost, you never get over it but somehow, by the grace of God, you do learn how to live with it. David will live on in the hearts and memories of those who were touched by his life. Prayers to David's family and friends from my entire family.
