To everyone who knew and loved David, I pray for Godspeed, now and always. To Kristi I want to say, I hope you can find some solace in the fact that even I know that he really loved you and your sons. He was real proud of his family. My heart aches just knowing how much we will always miss him in this lifetime.

Kristy, I am so sorry for your loss. I've heard alot about your husband from Toni. My brother-in-law was also a BlackHawk pilot stationed at Ft. Campbell so Toni and I had several conversations about them. You, your children and your entire family are in our thoughts and prayers. Thank you so much for the sacrifices you and your family have made for our freedom. May God give you comfort in your time of grief.
