I went to Bunker Hill with David. We were in band together, his mother drove my bus, and he went to college (Lenoir-Rhyne) with me for a while too. But I knew him better as my brother's friend. Travis Barker, my brother, and David were in the drum line together and graduated together. I remember when David went to a Crawdad's game with my family his hair was dyed blue. My dad picked on him for it, but he just had fun right back. He was just vibrant like that.

Dear Cheryl and family,
Please know that you and your family have my deepest sympathy. David was such a blessing and source of encouragement to all that he met. I will cherish the months I was priveledged to work with him at AC Moore. He always had a warm smile and kind word for us all. He will truly be missed. Most surely earths loss is Heavens gain.
Please know that you have been, and will continue to be in my thoughts and prayers in the days ahead.

God bless,
Kathy Hedrick
