I met David when he was my boss in Khobar, KSA and kept in touch since then. I'm shocked and saddened to read of his death here.
My sincere condolences to Mimi and the children and to all his family and friends.

Dave was a very talented musician and it was my honor to have had the opportunity to play in several different bands with him in high school. He had the ability to always make you laugh. Once TG always TG

To David's Family, Friends, Colleagues, and his fellow Boilermakers, Bengal fans, and Trekies,
The sudden passing of our sweet David is absolutely heart-breaking. There are few words that will make this terrible sorrow and pain of losing him any less...except for one thing: the realization of the Blessing and Honor it has been to get to know David so well. To say he will be "greatly missed", is a vast understatement.
As you all know, Dave had the best laugh, a HUGE heart, and was generous (many times to a fault). He worked hard for his Family and loved his children very much. At times, he got lost in this World of pressure, deadlines, and commitments but his drive to serve his family and make them proud kept pulling him back.
He loved great conversation, sports, his alma mater-Purdue, Star Trek, cooking, the beach, his sisters, his wives, and children (Catherine, David, Gracie, Ireland and Legend) and his many friends.
Dave was a brilliant Engineer, dedicated with a quick sense of humor and was always very inclusive with anyone he met. He worked on so many amazing projects all over the world and his death will have a huge impact on the fantastic things that could have been Architecturally.
May Angels welcome our sweet Dave into Paradise and may we have the joy of seeing him again.
Love, Janine, Ted, Ellie, and Willow Golden
