The Fierro Family:

I am very very sorry for your loss of a GREAT individual. My thoughts and prayers go out to you all. David was truly a very unique person. I will miss his gentle touch, his sincerity, his compassion, and most of all his unconditional love for others. I spent many years knowing David, even roommates in Colorado as well as growing up together on Montclair Street in Carlsbad. I shall miss him for the rest of my life, but he will always be as close as a thought away. I want the Fierro’s to know that I loved David and considered him as part of my own family. David is now in a better place and sits with God, his mom and dad as well as his brother Rudy. God Bless Him and his kind !!
