We've only known David for about the last 2 years but he became a close friend to our family in that short time. He joined us in celebrating family birthdays and Christmas last year and a family outing at Callaway Gardens last summer. We already miss him so much! He was a really good person

David was a good man and a good friend. So sorry for his family's and friends loss( especially for Mia, his beloved German Shepherd, she never let him get too far out of her sight). Will never forget the day she snitched David's chicken livers...then looked so innocent...but he laughed about it. He still missed his brother Stanley and was having a hard time dealing with the loss of his mother, GOD BLESS YOU ALL, my heart goes out to you all during this time and please take care of MIa...will miss getting to see her,too
