David was such a fantastic mentor to me both professionally and personally. He always reminded me what mattered the most in life. As i write this, i still cannot comprehend what has happened and it is surreal to me. David, i will miss you! Our calls, our chats and our friendship...I will never forget it! Love you so much!

I worked with David at NEC and remember a kind, jovial and fun loving person. His larger than life attitude and personality used to make me laugh often. I am deeply saddened to hear of his passing. I will continue to pray for his family. RIP David. You will be missed by all.

I've known David and worked with him on and off for over 20 years. He was one of the best salesmen I ever knew. He was always upbeat, very optimistic and always encouraged and inspired those around him. I was very fortunate to have had the opportunity of working with him and knowing him for almost a third of my life. He will be missed by many, but we will be re-united with him in the very near future. God bless the Jantz family. Our thoughts and prayers are with all of you.

David Jantz has been a close friend of my husband and mine for over 26 years. David was a charismatic person who always made you feel special. He had a servant heart towards all. He loved his family deeply and was so proud of them. We are sincerely grateful for our friendship with David. We hold Susan, Ryan, Adam and Alex in our prayers.

I have only known and worked with David for the past 6 months but can truly say that he was definitely a bright spot in the work day! He was so congenial and humorous that you couldn't help being drawn to him. We have experienced a great void here at the office this week. I have been and will continue to lift up the Jantz family in prayer.

Sincerely-
Kandi Williamson
