I am so sad to read this, he always liked to sit and talk about Mrs. Fast. He was a remarkable person, extremely smart, wore many hats, a Minister, Engineer, and Lawyer, I am glad to say he was my friend. Rest In Peace David Fast. ❤

I knew David to be a dedicated Christian with a great love for God's word. He always expressed and demonstrated his strong desire to preach the Gospel. David and my husband, Mickey, spent many hours discussing the Bible--not always agreeing, but respecting each other's passion for the Truth. My husband appreciated and respected David's knowledge of God's Word. My prayers are with the family in their time of loss.
