May the peace of God that passes all understanding be with the family, friends, and everyone touched by the life of David. In my short time knowing David I was always moved by his pleasant spirit. He would always ask me, "So how many pair of shoes do you have?" I will always remember his jovial personality. Inspite of what he was going through he kept a smile on his face. David, you will missed by your Kellogg Family.

I worked with Dave during the last two years. He made me feel welcome upon my arrival at Kellogg's and he kept me laughing ever since that first day. As a father myself, I know his biggest struggle and concern was his family during this whole ordeal. He loves you deeply and he spoke of that often. I'll miss him very much - he was a blessing to me and all who knew him.

David's light shined so bright! He was a truly wonderful man in every aspect. As David walks with the Lord, I pray that Jesus gifts Cindy and Ashley, all family members and friends peace and the strength to endure these hard times.

I didn't know Dave personally, but had interacted with him a few times on Facebook. He did have an excellent sense of humor! I am friends with his next door neighbors, Deborah and Kevin Vick, who told me of great times spent with Dave and his wife Cindy. I wish I could've known him. He is now in the arms of our Lord, where he feels no pain, but is renewed through Christ. Comfort and blessings to his family.
