David was my first cousin. Our childhood was wonderful, surrounded by a five sister family and all the other cousins. David was an avid music lover and collector. He always made me smile, and was very caring. I was blessed to have spent time with David growing up. This very intelligent person had a strong view of the world and life. He made an impact on many people, including me. I will miss him, and I will always remember him. My love and prayers for our family.

So sorry for everyone's loss. I sat next to WD for a couple years at work and he was a huge personality and loved Alabama football. We had some very enlightening conversations over various subjects and his takes were always well researched and interesting. Blessings on the family and all affected by his passing
