To The Family of Dave Hibbert;

Please accept my profound condolences at the passing of your beloved father and grandfather. He was a dear friend and blessed all who knew him. I had deep love for his sweetheart Mary as well as Dave, and my wife and I were the recipients of many wonderful visits in their home where we personally experienced their kind, generous friendship. We will miss him and his cheery welcomes. May Heavenly Father bless you all during this period of sorrow and loneliness without him. May the Lord grant you the peace and comfort that He promises to all who seek Him. Sincerely, Joe Nichols

Dave will be missed everyday. His hilarious stories of old Mesa and Phoenix kept me laughing the past few years. I was so proud of him, Mya and I especially loved the horse stories!

Roberta and I express our condolences to the family on the passing of Uncle Dave. We were always touched by his many kindnesses to Aunt Mary. He was always very kind to our girls and a good friend to our dad. His many accomplishments are a tribute to an honorable life well lived. A great reunion is taking place on the other side of the veil. Our prayers are with you.
