To David's family,

I spoke to David a few times over the last few years but actually met him in high school at Central. He was good looking and very charming (as I am sure everyone knows). I am deeply saddened by this sudden loss.

I met David 33 years ago, when we were in 6th grade together. He was a huge part of my childhood and spent many an hour lounging on our couch...and causing mischief.
I'm sorry I hadn't spoken to him in a number of years but I thought of him often.
We spent many years as friends...I'll never forget those wonderful times of my youth.
Thanks you David,
Stephanie Stresen-Reuter

Uncle Davey will be missed greatly by everyone but he is in a much better place now. Uncle Davey was more than my uncle to me, he was my big brother and a best friend to me.

To all,
David had a certain zest for life that was contagious he loved most, for those he loved to smile.When he achived that goal he knew you felt his soul's deepest desire. To be happy and content always began with a smile. Over the years I've seen many of those smiles and some many tears,but at the end of the day Dave always made sure it ended with a smile. So as I sit hear in my tears I know at the end of the day I'll think of him and know he'd want nothing less than a smile.Please in loving memory of "Dave"... SMILE
His friend,partner & fiancee Christine R. Yearout

To my uncle Davey,

A one of a kind person with a beautiful smile. You always gave me words of encouragement and wiped away my tears. I'll always remember the special time we had together. Especially the time you took me cruising on the Ave. with you when I was a teenager, we had lots of fun!! You'll always be in my heart forever and I'll tell my kids about you as they grow. As you keep watch over me and my family, I'll feel the warmth of your heart and gentle touch keeping us safe and in the right direction of life. I love you and miss you uncle Davey, forever and ever!! Love Tina Ann and the Webber Family

To my dearest family, some things I'd like to say...
but first of all, to let you know, that I arrived okay.
I'm writing this from heaven. Here I dwell with God above.
Here, there's no more tears of sadness; here is just eternal love.

Please do not be unhappy just because I'm out of sight.
Remember that I'm with you every morning, noon and night.
That day I had to leave you when my life on earth was through,
God picked me up and hugged me and He said, "I welcome you."

It's good to have you back again; you were missed while you were gone.
As for your dearest family, they'll be here later on.
I need you here badly; you're part of my plan.
There's so much that we have to do, to help our mortal man."

God gave me a list of things, that he wished for me to do.
And foremost on the list, was to watch and care for you.
And when you lie in bed at night, the day's chores put to flight.
God and I are closest to you....in the middle of the night.

When you think of my life on earth, and all those loving years
because you are only human, they are bound to bring you tears.
But do not be afraid to cry; it does relieve the pain.
Remember there would be no flowers, unless there was some rain.

I wish that I could tell you all that God has planned.
But if I were to tell you, you wouldn't understand.
But one thing is for certain, though my life on earth is o'er.
I'm closer to you now, than I ever was before.

There are many rocky roads ahead of you and many hills to climb;
but together we can do it by taking one day at a time.
It was always my philosophy and I'd like it for you too...
that as you give unto the world, the world will give to you.

If you can help somebody who's in sorrow and pain,
then you can say to God at night......"My day was not in vain."
And now I am contented....that my life has been worthwhile,
knowing as I passed along the way, I made somebody smile.

So if you meet somebody who is sad and feeling low,
just lend a hand to pick him up, as on your way you go.
When you're walking down the street, and you've got me on your mind;
I'm walking in your footsteps only half a step behind.

And when it's time for you to go.... from that body to be free,
remember you're not going.....you're coming here to me.
