My brother David was the best man in the world. He was so kind and giving to everyone. He would give you the shirt off his back if you needed it. He loved his family unconditionally. He would be so proud of all of his kids and grandchildren. I know that he is still watching over all of us. I love you Bro and miss you everyday. Sissy.

I am so sorry to have just heard of David's death. I too had worked with David at Dispenser Services many years ago. He was a true and honest person - My prayers go to each member of your family. I know that the family spent many hour making tamale's for the holidays season- It was a source of pride that David always smiled about.

I have always remembered that and will share the remembrances of your family with mine, when we share tamales during the holidays.

God's Peace

Yoli and family,
We all know that David is now in Paradise with his Mom and Dad. He is no longer in pain. I see him dancing and cooking for everyone in heaven and as we remember all those good times we had as youth know that they will never be forgotten and always remembered and as we smile and laugh at all those good times. It is the memories Dave left us all with that will always be remembered.

To the Guajardo family,
My heart and prayers go out to you all in this difficult time.
Missy,
I can’t imagine losing someone you love so much particularly at a young age so there nothing that I can say to make everything okay. All I know is your dad loved you through the good times and bad times, and he know you loved in the same. So all you can do is remember all the good times you and Alanna had with him. He is at peace with angles and will always be watching over you. Missy if you need any thing please let me know.
love Nana

Yoli, I'm not sure if you even remember me, I'm an old friend of David's from years past, I was deeply saddened in learning of Davids passing. Its times like these that make you wonder why you don't stay in touch with friends you cared so much for. May God bless you and your family.

Cass & Judy Castillo

Yolanda, we just heard last night of your loss. Some time back we were told that we are never ready 'to let go' of someone you love. May God Almighty impress in each of you that David is in very good hands. He's in a place where suffering is not known. He may be celebrating with his Mom and Dad. He was a very special person, all that knew him, including all of our family will miss him. Your Tio Abel and family's prayers are with each and everyone of you.
