David had a special light. He inspired me and his friendship will live on in my heart. God bless his family.

David was always one of the kindest and most whole hearted players during his time with the Somerset Patriots. He´d often spend his time in the bullpen standing next to my parents and I seats on the field line. Whether it was hun quizzing me on the minor league baseball logos, team names, and parent clubs; or us joking about his choice of warm up music when he went into pitch, he was always an incredible person.

He will always have a place in my heart. I pray for his family during this difficult time. God bless
