It is truly a tragedy to see such a great life come to a tragic and sudden end. I have known David since we were really young. From the days of playing basketball on my old driveway on Waterford Dr. to hanging out at Centerville High School, there are memories that will never be forgotten. David was a great friend and a great person to be around. He always smiled and always knew the right thing to say when I was having a bad day. He will be missed. To the parents, I will continue to pray that God will strengthen you as you go through this difficult period in life. My heart goes out to you. You are all in my prayers. God Bless You!

Dear Mike and Gretchen,
I am deeply saddened by your loss of David. No parent should see their child go before them. I can only imagine the emptyness you feel and pray that time will heal the feelings but not dim the memories. Treasure the time you were given with such a fine young man, I could hear the pride in you voice when you spoke of him. He was truly a great gift to your family. My heart goes out to you.

I dont know what to say. I am sure the im sorrys are getting even more depressing. I wanted to call but then i really wouldnt know what to say. I loved David so much, he has taught me so much about myself and life in general! He was a truly amazing and caring individual. He walked with me for at least an hour to find my car after school. I can say so many things about him, but you guys already know he was AWESOME! If there is anything i can do for any of you please just let me know. I may be far away but like i said i loved david and he would have done anything for me so if you need anything ill do my best to get it for you! Im so so very sorry!
