David Harrell

Still shocked- taken from us way too early. Miss that smile, laughter and just being around. Thoughts and prayers continue for the family and friends. RIP brother.

We still miss your pleasant personality everyday.

Dear Dave's Family and Friends,

Dave liked wrestling. in gym in Gary Dambro's class we wrestled. Dave could tell many things about me, that
only a select few in the 36 years we all knew each other. His favorite tag team partner was his wingman in life and basketball was Dave Mercurio, #30 Notre Dame Football. Me and Dave talk a lot, and when someone dies,
it's me who calls. At Dave's service, Bibber spoke, their was no racism in Blessed Sacrament, they were all brothers and sisters in Christ. Ciaran sang, and like most Notre Dame women like the late Diana Walker, Bibber
knows when I near falling. Dave said along with Swillie Ross after graduation it was a good idea to serve your
country in the Navy. I was afraid, the girls of Notre Dame know when I am afraid, that's why only they know me.
Bibber would call his phone to hear his voice, i do that to hear my nieces voice, because she is what cured me in 1994, or Bibber would of been grieving me that year. we all have our faults, mine are no different along with Dave. So lets remember Dave today, lets remember each other, we are getting older, let's stay in touch!

Still missing your laughter and that beautiful singing voice. So glad to have met you on the court.

Mr. Harrell will truly be missed. I met him when I was certifying to become a BLS instructor. He was a great person and mentor. I still can't believe he is gone. He was always willing to help, he assisted me even when I PCS to Camp Pendleton. You will always hold a special place in my heart.

I just heard of David's passing. I was shocked to hear this. I am so sorry for your loss. I have known David for the last 9 years since I came to Portsmouth Naval Medical Center in July of 2001. I will truly miss our talks and teaching BLS instructor courses and rodeos together at Portsmouth. May you always have peace.

My you walk tall with God David. You will be missed.

In loving memory of a wonderful person. We will love you and miss you always.

I am so sorry to hear of David's passing. Please know that he and his family are remembered in my prayers. May your faith sustain you at this time...

Dave inspired us at work with his positive energy, his love of life, his friendliness and his ability to see the good in all people. It is not easy to do these things everyday but Dave did it.

A popular Gospel song says "may the life I live speak for me". All of the beautiful reviews are evident of David's life speaking for him. David was the best and that is why God plucked him from Earth to plant him in His heavenly garden because God only picks the "best". We all loved him and will miss him, but God loved him best. David will forever be in my heart and I will always remember that " I was only sixteen".

Dave was a "one of kind" person! He help my brother and I train the new officials coming into the board of officials. He love to give back and teach what was taught to him. He always made you feel special not only as an official but as a person. He will sorely be missed but never forgotten. My prayers are with the family during this time of loss.

"Dave will be missed by all that knew him. He was a loving and caring person, but most of all my friend. My deepest condolences to the family. You were blessed with a Great Man. Dave was a friend to all. No matter how he was feeling, he always made you smile. It was an honor to know and love him. He will me missed."

Mr. Harrell will be deeply missed by the NMCP family. I will miss the advice, wisdom and patience that he always displayed. Gone but still an inspiration to me and all other enlisted whom he served with.

Will miss you, calling me on Valentines Day saying how much you Love Me. and how we use to talk about the wonderful things that God can do everyday,
SISTER-IN-LAW Dorothy A Harrell

I will always carry you around in my heart,especially remebering the singing of the Sam Cook days.RIP

To my friend Dave Harrell's Family and Friends,

I grieve with you on the untimely passing of Dave. I don't know why God
calls home so many good, decent people and allows a void to exit in our hearts, but he must have a special plan for David. I will never forget him coloring himself green as the Incredible Hulk Senior Year for the Halloween Party in October 1978. I will never forget his way through the basketball court or track as he excelled at anything that was possible.
I had just wriiten and recieved a email from him in January. He lived as he died dedicated and caring for those who he went to school with. I will miss him.
