To David's parents,siblings and son, sorry for your loss. Delivering medications to your parents I ran into David at their residence. Mr. Boggs was talking about his son and said I went to HS with David, then soon after he was visiting his parents when I had delivered again. Funny how you run into people and sure brought back HS memories. Still was handsome as ever. Cherish all memories and love for David in your hearts.

David was a colleague who certainly stood out. He was handsome, smart and athletic. He had everything going for him. Its just so tragic his life ended early. I am sorry for your loss and I pray you will always feel his presence. Kind Regards,
