I was just thinking of Dave the other day. I will always remember his larger than life personality, and his love for his family. Dave was a great guy. I always liked sitting with him and his family at the girls volleyball games. He was quite the jokester and I got to witness his fast driving first hand. I especially liked the stories of how he got out of a few tickets. Lol. You are missed so much Dave! Prayers for peace and comfort for your family

Dave thank you for all of the laughs and fond memories The volley ball games werent the same without you. You were a great man and a good friend. I think about you often and always say a prayer for Ann and the girls as I know the devastation and heartbreak they felt and I am sure still feel to this day. You left a void no one can ever fill but I have faith that the love you shared and the precious memories will stay close to their hearts and give them some peace and comfort knowing that you will be together again one day ~ RIP ~ my friend

I was deeply touched by the news of David. At his Aunt Mary's (my Mother) graveside service 4 days prior to the tragedy, I was re-aquainted with David not knowing at first that he was my cousin. With no predisposition, I noted how well-spoken, down to earth, and 'at peace' he was - a far cry from the little terror that I remember from 40 years prior:) Since last Saturday, I've learned more about my cousin to validate those observations and find that he was a good husband, father and human being. My heart goes to Ann and the girls, whom I've never met, Aunt Barb and all of David's family. I mourn your loss.

What he has left behind...no one can erase...he will always be a part of who you and your girls have become/will continue to become. I ache in knowing the hole that his loss is leaving while also being confident that your faith and your community support will help the three of you in trying to move on.

My Dear Sweet Ann,
I am having trouble finding the words to let you know how much you are in my thoughts these last few days. We have not seen you both since before the girls were born. Last time was at the Charleston Speedway if I recall. We had alot of fun there. David was such a funny guy and I could tell the love of your life. Time,life, busy schedules and distance has kept us apart and that is no excuse. I miss you and love you. Sorry I can't be there in your time of need. OOOOXX

David was a joy in our lives. He was always teasing us on the phone when he called. Sometimes he would pretend to be the Sheriff from Coles County. Sometimes he would just talk so fast (on purpose) that we couldn't understand a word he said. He was a blessing to his family and all his friends, but first and foremost he was a loving husband to his wife Ann and a wonderful father to his daughters, Shelby and Ashley. We miss him now and forever. In Loving Memory of our David. Your Brother-in-Law and Sister-in-Law ,Thomas and Beth Carbonaro

I would like to extend my condolences to the family of Dave Pearcy. Knowing this guy was such a pleasure. He was always smiling, funny and such a devoted husband and father. I can remember when I worked at the Children's Home and he would be going to Terre Haute and was having trouble getting to his destination. He would call and ask me for directions. I have many memories of Dave, Ann, Shelby and Ashley and I will treasure them. Ann always shared pictures of her family with me and you could always see the loving family that they were. It will be very hard, but God will give them strength to get through this. Their memories will be such a great comfort to them. Rest in peace Dave...you are Home now. I will keep you all in my thoughts and prayers.
