He lived his life to be an example to others. He shared his compassion and love with those that surrounded him. Thank you dear friend for all the wonderful memories we created...I will miss you so much.

I met David a week and half ago. My boat trailer tire was about to come off. He flagged me down to tell me. Then proceeded to get the rim off the trailer. He worked over 3 hours on a Sunday. He then followed me to the boat ramp to make sure I made it safety. I asked everyone involved how much I owed them. Not one person would take a dime. I will never forget him. I wish I could tell him how much he meant to me.
