Uncle Dave,

It has been so hard knowing that Dave is gone and is not coming back. I have had so many good memories with him. It hurts sometimes waking up and knowing that Dave is not here. Even though Dave is not here on earth, Dave will always be in my heart. I love him so much. SO does everybody else.Dave was such a good kid and everyone enjoyed his smile and his laugh. You will always be with me, Dave and nothing can change that.

To all who knew and loved "Little Dave" I am his uncle Dan and it was a special privledge to have him in our lives. Dave was a radical Rock and Roller, a very hard worker who came from a long bloodline of hard workers. He had a smile and laugh that could light up a room and a personality that touched all that knew him. You will be missed my nephew but never forgotten. may the god you now reside with give your parents and loved ones the strength and courage they need to deal with life in your absence. May we all know the power of god and live our lives now with a little more Love, compassion, and forgivness untill we meet again. I love ya little dave and thanks for touching my life with your unforgetable smile.

Dear Family,
I LOVE Dave. He was sunch an energetic person. He was and is a fighter. He would never let anyone feel sorry for him. He would always make you smile even at the worst of times. Now we have to make each other smile even at the worst of times because he would not want you to feel sorry for him. I have gone to school with Dave ever since he moved here. When he first came here he was this loud kid who thought he was int he wrong place for school. BOY DID HE THINK WRONG. This school is where he met his best friend Josh. Well actually we should call him his husband. They were inseperable. He was and still is a great friend of mine that I WILL NEVER FORGET. I will love him till the day I die like he did me. I know that Dave is looking down on all of us and seeing us all be strong for him. For that is what he would want. I will pray for Dave's family and friends to be strong and fight through this very tough loss. God bless and i will pray for you all.
REST IN PEACE "IRON" HAIDON, DAVE HAIDON, DAVID, AND EVEN DAVEY

Dear Sharon, Chuck and Charlie
I am very sorry to hear about your loss and that i couldn't make it to the wake or funeral. Work had me tied downand now going to see colleges. I just remember the one time we were all at your house and Charlie and David we fooling around and me and my sister just sat there. Then at my graduation party all my friends loved David, they thought he was so cute. I am very glad to have known such a great guy. God Bless and I love you all

What a Great loss to all who knew him and those who never met him. I am his Uncle and didn't particapte in most of his life because I live several states away. But I can tell you the times I did spend with him were solid and heartfelt. I have never attended a wake or a funural that was so heavly attended by anyone. I was shocked ! Its as if he was a celebrity, I think he was. Because I never saw so many people in one place to honnor anyone like that before.I am only sorry that he is no longer with us any longer and I didn't spend the time I could have with him. I pray that his Father and Mother will find some comfort and celebrate his life in a positive mannar with the help of Jesus Christ.
I Thank God and his son Jesus for the time all of his friends and family had with him on this Earth. I know he is now at home with GOD watching over all of us. The biggest tribute to David would be to try to be as happy and caring for others and his passion for Life as he was.

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.

Dave " IRON " Haidon....

What can you say about Dave? HE was the best guy around. You could go to him with problems, needs, or just to talk. He was one of the best friends you could have had in North Collins. He always had a smile on his face and a warm hug when you needed it. I still remember walking through the school hallway and you could always tell when Dave would be around because you would here him singing, laughing, and goofing off. I went to school with Dave for three years and let me tell you, everyone is in tears here. The news hit everyone so hard and nobody knew what to say or do. I know Dave will be missed and people are going to cry and feel heartbroken for a long time because of how special this young man was. He will be deeply missed by everyone and never forgoten.

WE MISS AND LOVE YOU DAVE!
God Bless And Stay Strong!
