It has been almost 6 six years since Brother David has passed. I remember this kind soul almost every day. To his family, know that his passing is mourned by a great number of folks that knew him to this day. RIP.

It seems that only yesterday David was among us. I remember his gentle demeanor and kind words to all he met. The Sons of Union Veterans of the Civil War (SUVCW) lost a giant. Gone but never forgotten

It seems just a short time ago that David passed, almost like yesterday. Know that his impact on the SUVCW and all he touched is well remembered. Lest we forget.

David was my first boss in the USA in the accounting department at Fort Sanders Regional Medical Center when he was CFO and also over John at Central Supply. He was the greatest and bravest person we know and going to be missed. Especially all the history he taught us about the South. Prayers and condolences to the family. God bless.

To the McReynolds Family,
David was a bright star and gave much to the Sons of Union Veterans of the Civil War Organization. He was the prototypical "Southern Gentleman." A caring person. I know in my heart that heaven is a better place with David there. You will remain in my thoughts and prayers, now and in the future. I take great pride in being able to be called a friend and Brother of David McReynolds.
