David, I was shocked at your passing. You were truly one of the best students I've taught during my 25 years at BW. Your intensity in the classroom was unmatched as was your desire to learn. I'll always remember the day you showed up at my office and tearfully embraced me...no words until you revealed the acceptance to medical school at Cincinatti. I was so happy for you. I will hold your memory close...the memory of a student and professor that really connected. You will be missed. YJ4L

David was the first person to talk to me at Forrest Elementary School when Hanna moved there. We were in 5th grade together - Mrs. Cavalier's class. He was kind, always. Though I haven't seen him since high school, my heart breaks knowing he is gone. May your family find some peace in knowing that even at the age of 10, he was so wonderful. Praying for all of you.
