Kathy ann family,
I was so saddened to hear the passing of David. I will always hold such fond memories of him when he hunted on Pelham Range. He became a good friend with a cheerful word for everyone. Such a caring man. My thoughts and prayers are with ya'll.

Our prayers are with you, and we will miss him. It only took me once to see the kind hearted, thoughtful and caring person he was.

Even tho I didn't know David, we are brothers Rebels. Emma Sansom has lost one of her family members. This makes everyone in the family sad. I learned something in Mrs Lunsford English class, at ESHS that I wish to pass to David's family, "Come what, come may, time and the hour run through the roughest day". JOB WELL DONE, DAVID, R.I.P.
