I can't believe it's been 14 years Sunday that you left us. It feels like it's been so long since we've seen you but at the same time feels like yesterday and still doesn't seem like this is reality. You were such a huge part of my life and there isn't a day that goes by I don't think about you and the times we shared. I am grateful for the time we had with you. Untill we meet again. Love you Dawg

We are truly so sorry for your loss. Davey was really a beautiful person and it was a honor to have had him in our lives. I pray that God takes you in his arms and holds you extra tight as you grieve. Dave an Sue, no parent should ever have to bury their child, we just have to believe God has a plan for Davey an that he was needed, you have an angel permanently watching over you. Lori I know exactly what your feeling as we said goodbye to my little brother only 2 short years ago so if any of you need us dont hesitate to call same to you Cassie. Hug the kids an hold tight and lean on your family. Love you all.

Dave, Sue, and Lori,
I met Davey in third grade which in turn brought me into all of your lives. Your whole family was so awesome to me and meant the world to me. My memories with Davey are the ones I hold tight... when we were young and carefree and we had so much fun. I remember riding my bike over, playing nintendo, and all our wonderful Viking memories. My heart goes out to you at this very hard time! Davey was such an awesome person!

Mr. and Mrs. Powell,
First off, I'm so very sorry to hear this about your son. You guys are so wonderful parents any kid could ask for. I can remember going to hilltop pool and playing basketball every summer with Mr. Powell and Davey. It was always a good time to be around you guys. Davey was a good young man. From what I hear and read, Davey was an honor to be around. A couple weeks ago was the last time I had the honor to see Davey. He was walking out the door with a smile when I ran into him, A smile the whole time we talked, An a smile as he walked away. Davey was always happy and I will never forget his smile! My Thoughts and Prayers are with you all!!
