I am heartbroken to hear of your loss. David was a very special friend and was a large part of my growing up. He greatly influenced and encouraged my walk with the Lord and for that I am eternally grateful. May the Lord hold you and strengthen you and may you be blessed with only the most wonderful of memories.

To the Logsdon family; I will remember David w/ his big grin and all the determination to accomplish everything he wanted. A motivator, counselor, and great friend. David helped me find my way many times. He will be sorely missed. David was ever on the side of the angels. He remains with the good forever.

I am so sorry about David. I haven't seen you all in many years, but I feel like it was just yesterday we were all swimming at Indian Hills and having wonderful fun summers together!

Dear Jessica, Lainey, Ann, Karen and Doug,
David was the most wonderful man I'd ever met, back in December 2005! He was easy to love and blessed my life with many, many wonderful memories. His love for his daughters was so very deep and he felt the responsibilities of trying to be the best "big-brother" to the siblings he loved so much! Although it is so terribly devastating to lose him at such a young age, I am completely confident and deeply thankful he is with Christ now and at precious peace. I've missed seeing him lately but I greatly anticipate seeing him again in Heaven, when I get there.
