My nephew David was loving and kind. He touched more souls than he realized in a positive way. When he got interested in something whether it be food, a hobby, or a knife collection he was `all in´ and had an appreciation for fine things. When I met Hanan I knew she was the one for him. He will be loved and missed by so many people. Thanks to all the family and friends that could make it to his celebration of life. It means a lot to us all. I was thoroughly impressed by C. Mertz and Son Funeral home for easing a difficult situation for the family. David may you rest in peace.

Paulette

David, you will be forever missed. You were a quiet, gentle soul who touched us all with your kindness and love. Please watch over your mom, dad and brother as they are having difficulty with you leaving us. We will all miss you tremendously. And I agree, Uncle Tom is cool. It makes my heart happy to know that he had an impact on you. Just always remember our rollerblading story. I love you David. Love, Aunt Paulette

My Dear Godson/Nephew,

I have loved you from the moment you were born, and will always cherish the memories we shared and keep them close to my heart. It was my honor and privilege to serve as your godmother and your Aunt.

You gave no one a last farewell, nor never said good-bye.
You were gone before we knew it, and only GOD knows why.
A million time we will miss you, a million times we will cry.
In our hearts you hold a place, no one else can ever fill.
It broke our hearts to lose you, but you didn't go alone, for part of use went with you , the day God took you home.
We will meet again someday, I know in a better place.
I thank God he made you my Godson
While you were here on earth.

Loved beyond words,
Missed beyond measure.

Always and Forever In Our Hearts.

Aunt Karen and Uncle Jerry

With David and Michael being the older cousins, I always looked up to them & thought they were so cool. Even though there was an age gap between David & myself, he would always hangout with me, Ryan and Riley at Leisurewood for the family reunions. David was always so sweet to ask me questions about school & what I wanted to do in life. I hope he is now in peace & watching over Aunt Kim and Uncle Dave

David
David was the first nephew on the Heisler side. He was the apple of every one´s eye. Especially Nani and Poppas. He was a beautiful smart boy that had smiles for everyone. When his brother Michael came along he was very happy to share the spot light and show him the ropes on how to get everyone to buy them anything they wanted and do anything they wanted. When I say everyone I mean our whole family. That´s all they would have to do was point at or circle something in the paper and bam it magically appeared. David had a big soul. He was always kind, friendly, loving,very respectful and would go out of his way to help anyone. David was a wonderful son, brother, grandson, nephew, uncle, cousin, husband and friend. He will be greatly missed but he will always be remembered in our hearts and prayers. David will not be alone he will be in the best hands ever! He will be with Grandma Jean and Grandpa Ed Wlodarczyk, Incle Ed,Uncle Richie, Uncle Kevin,Aunt Phyllis, Uncle John, Uncle Herb, Aunt Jackie and Uncle Chuck. And of course Poppa, who will take him fishing as soon as he gets there and they will catch the biggest fish together. David will have to learn how to bait his own hook and take the fish off though. Yeah right we all know poppa will do that do that for him.

David you will be missed so very much!!!

Love you so very much!!!
Aunt Rennie (Renee)
