Another year gone. Unbelievable! You would be 70, can you imagine? How I miss all the wonderful times we had and everything we experienced. Everyone is up there with you now. Some day, we will all be together again. I am so glad that you didn´t suffer through all these years in pain. How I miss you, my brother! Please just let me know that all you see is happy times, pain free, running, living (heavenly) and just enjoying everything with all those with you. I will see you all again some day. Love you!

Another year has passed and you are still on my mind and in my heart. Your mom isn´t doing real well, in and out of the hospital, but I know she loves and misses you all the time. I hold all of our memories close and remember all the good times we shared. Tell everyone hi and give them all a hug. Miss you brother, until we meet again. Love you

Another year and I miss you every day. Times have been a mess this past almost 2 years, glad you didn´t have to experience any of the COVID issues. Things are not the same without you here. I will always love and miss you, brother, that´s just how it is. Until we meet again, your memory will live on. Love you!

I can’t believe it has been 10 years already. I think about you and miss you constantly. Life is just not the same without you. I see your mom as often as I can and do everything I can to help her when needed. I know she misses you too. I still think about all the good times we had growing up and remember them fondly. Glad you are no longer in pain but sure wish you were here. Not that this is a good time in this crazy world right now but still. We will see all of you again someday and play some baseball and ride on the cows head again. Tell grandma, grandpa, mom, your dad and Lonnie hi for me until we meet again. Love you!

Dave, I will never forget watching in amazement as you would whip yourself in and out of that wheelchair, and throw it behind you in that little red suzuki tracker, and of course all the late hours you would help dad work on cars in the garage. You will be greatly missed!

You will forever be a part of my heart. I often think about all the things we did as kids. Like the time you were twirling me around upside down on your back and accidently dropped me. I was eating a piece of bread and it came out of my mouth and mom and grandma thought my teeth fell out. Or the time we were shooting pitch with your pellet gun and you accidently got my finger and said 'don't tell my mom'. I remember when we had the dirt tracker and got it stuck down in the creek below Taff's hill. Walking back, you were sure you smelled a mountain lion and all 3 of us freaked, me, you and Vicki Thomas. Spinning donuts behind grandma & grandpa's and ending up totally covered in red dust, only white rings around our eyes. Going to school with Danny Vaught in the orange plymouth, being out of fuel and merging through the 'Y' with Don Sadler right beside us. You thought he was going to 'kill' you but he was laughing so hard from the look on your face. So many memories that I will always have but not the same as having you here. You were a brother to me and we had so many fun times. I know and am glad you are no longer in pain and I can see you walking the halls of Las Plumas with Darrell Sanders singing 'Sherry Baby' to Sherry Euritt and any other Sherry you could find. Take care of yourself and rest in peace, brother, someday I will see you again and all the good times will be happening. I love you and miss you so much.
