David Joseph Hildman

David,after all these years,I still think of you and the wonderful impact you had on me from your yoga classes. I left the Blocker Y after you died. I know you are looking down on us smiling. There will never be another yoga/spin teacher again like you. I love you David!

I still think of you David. Your impact remains. Your contagious smile and laughter is what o remember most. You always had positive energy . You are not forgotten!

Almost one year and we sorely miss David every day. He was very unique, and a blast to work with. Hope you all are finding some peace. David will never be forgotten by the y family.

My only association with David was when he worked at Domes Electronics. He was not only a true professional, but also was a person so easy to call a friend. My prayers are with you. Find confort in knowing the many people he touched in his life. He will be missed. Peace and Love

Please accept my condolences. You are in my thoughts and prayers. Dave was an awesome friend and a great guy. He will be missed.

It's been 20 years since I last saw David, but I have quite a few fond memories from back when we were in high school. I'm so sorry to hear about his passing... I will always remember him joking around and laughing.

Jerry, Dot & Family -
My sincere condolences and sympathy on your untimely loss of David, it is obvious that he was loved by many and will be sorely missed by all who know of him. I wish you & your family peace and comfort as words from others can do little to heal your pain.

My deepest sympathy to the Hildman family. Although I have not seen David in a couple of years I will never forget his humor and outstanding personality.

Jennifer,Dot,and Jerry
You guys were like a second family to me when me and Jennifer were growing up. My prayers are with yall in your time of need.

Jerry,

Thinking about you and Dot. There is nothing I can say here that could help...but it is obvious that he had many friends and he will be missed.

Dave was funny guy at 15 when I first met him when he hung out with my sister and Doug. I ran into him later as an adult funny still and we talked rescue. I have many great memories. God Bless and keep you. We love you and miss you.

David,you have been my yoga teacher since I moved here from New York almost two years ago. John and I would go every Saturday to your class and you will be missed in our hearts. Remember you always said in class to think of someone that puts a smile on your face,well that someone will always be you now. You will always be in our hearts and thoughts. I am sad for your family but may it bring them some comfort to know how many lives you have touched. Thank you so much David!

David will be greatly missed. His kindness to me and my daughter were greatly appreciated and will not be forgotten. May God be with you in this difficult time. Mona and Jillian Staneck

I am so deeply saddened by David's death and your loss of a son and brother, my prayers go with you in this difficult time. I will miss David and his yoga class "for normal people" along with all of his quips and jokes. Saturday mornings will forever be changed for me, there is no other yoga class like it. He is missed by so, so many people and I'm very glad that I had the privilege of knowing him for just a little while. My heart and prayers are with you.

My sincerest sympathy to David's family and many friends. I had only had the pleasure of knowing him for a few months, but already he had made a lasting impression as a friend and yoga instructor....Namaste

I met David at the Y where we worked together, I only knew him about 5 months, but I felt I knew him much longer. He always had a smile and something nice to say.He was a great cycling instructor. My deepest and sincere sympathy goes to the Hildman family..

I am very sorry for your loss. Dave was unique. I have known him since his early 20's, and have kept in touch over the years. He was always there when his friends needed a hand. Thank you for the memories Dave. May you rest peacefully.

Dot & Jerry, we are so deeply sorry for the loss of your beloved son David. You are in our thoughts.

Jerry and Family, please accept our deepest sympathies for your loss. Our thoughts and prayers are with you and your family during this difficult time.

There will never be another yoga instructor like David. I'll always remember our classes- especially outdoors. We truly worked our mind, body and soul - and always got a good laugh. Thoughts and prayers to the Hildman Family. David was truly unique!

We have such fond memories of Dave from the Y and tri events to movie nights and halloween celebrations. He always brought a special energy to whatever he was doing. His humor, sincerity and generous spirit will be greatly missed. Our thoughts and prayers are with his family.

The memories of David's vivacious spirit, kind heart and twinkling blue eyes live on in my heart. My deepest sympathy for the loss of a great man who made the world a little brighter. May God's peace be with you

I remember our sunday morning rides. Especially towards the end when we would sprint as hard as we can and, as usual, he would win. I made him earn it, though. He even twisted my arm a handful of times to be a volunteer when he directed the bike portion of a race. Dave is a class act, and he will be sorely missed.

Dearest Hildman family - I am so sorry for your loss. I met David at the Y and we became a good friends. He will be greatly missed. I do hope you are able to take comfort in knowing that now you have a special guardian angel to watch over you.

Dear Hildman family,

My thoughts and prayers are with you during this difficult time. I have been unable to comprehend this loss and am thinking of you all and David constantly. I met him through his instruction at the Y and he was a regular part of my Saturday mornings. His humor, wit and inner joy brought so much to my life. He will be sorely missed, please know he touched so many lives.

I just saw the obituary, and have no idea what to say! What a truely sad loss! Dave was my first real boyfriend, and although we lost touch, he always had kind words and a bear hug for me when we did run into each other! My deepest condolences!!!

I always looked forward to our Sunday morning bike rides with Dave. He was a powerful and gracious rider, ever vigilant, always considerate, dependably upbeat, and one heck of a sprinter. Dave, we will miss you.

To David's Family,
We had the privilege of first meeting Dave around 20 years ago. He will be greatly missed, but the memories of Dave will never be forgotten by those his life touched.
You are in our thoughts and prayers.

Dear Hildman Family,
May this sorrowful time allow you to reflect upon all the joy that you once shared with David. With deepest Sympathy...

David was a close friend many years ago. Over time we became less close but I kept abreast of him via mutual friends. I will remember David as I always do: with a beautiful smile, a twinkle in his eyes and a refreshing view of life. The world is a little less bright without David in it. I am sorry for your loss.

With sympathy and love,
Barbara Bishop

Jerry and Dot - I cannot begin to imagine such a loss. My prayers are with you and Jennifer. David will be remembered as a fun and thoughtful person.

You and your family are in my thoughts and heartfelt prayers. May all your memories carry you through this difficult time.

God be with you in this time of sorrow.

Hildman Family,
You have our sincere sympathy. May the love of God comfort you in your time of need.

My sincerest condolences, my friend. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.

Jerry and Dot,
Our prayers for peace and healing are with you. God bless you both.

My sincerest condolences on your tragic loss. I didn't know David personally, but I know his absence will be sorely felt by the family and community. I will keep him in my thoughts and prayers.

I could write pages of all of my memories with Dave. He truly had a gift of bringing a smile to everyones face, even if they were just a stranger on the street. He always put all of us first whether in class or in everyday life. His smile and sarcasm and love will never be matched.

David was the first spin instructor I had, and by far the best. Every Tuesday he made class so enjoyable...always fun and happy. He will be greatly missed by many.

May God bless you and your family in this time of sorrow. You are in our thoughts and prayers and David will be in our hearts forever.

Hildman Family, My sincerest condolences are with you. One can only imagine the depth of your pain. Please know that you are in the thoughts, prayers and hearts of many. Sincerely, Colette Kokron

Jerry and family,
You have my deepest & sincere sympathy for your loss. I will continue to keep all of you in my prayers.

To David's Family,
I met David at the Y and knew him for only for a couple of years, but was always touched by his absolute kindness, humor and positive outlook. He made everything fun, whether it was a class or a bike ride. He was an absolute treasure and I will miss him.

I keep thinking about David with sadness. I have a hard time going to the Y because he is no longer there. Nobody will teach the way he taught. He created a community out of his students and gave us gifts of friendship and laughter and mutual understanding. I don't know when I will stop missing him.

To David's Family,
It was a pleasure to have known David for almost 20 years. He always lived life to the fullest and never shied away from a challenge. His enthusiasm was infectious to those around him and he will be greatly missed by all who had the privilege of knowing him.

Jerry, Dot, Jennifer --
We are all saddened by David's passing. You are all in our thoughts and our hearts.
-- Jean, Doug, Nicole, and Tricia Mann

Jerry and Dot,
Please know that you and your entire family are in our thoughts and prayers, and accept our deepest sympathy on your loss.

In loving memory of a wonderful person. David gave so much of himself to those around him. He was a great inspirational instructor. May his memory live in our hearts.

To David's family - David has been a part of my Saturday mornings for the last few years. He brought humor to his yoga class - there is no other instructor like him. I will miss him and never forget him. My weekends will never be the same. I am so sorry for your loss. Please know that he touched many lives.

To David’s family – I am so very sorry for your devastating loss. You have been, and will continue to be, in my prayers. My husband and I became friends with David several years ago through the Y, cycling, and mutual friends. We would often meet at his house for bike rides, although it’s been some time ago. David’s generosity was boundless, whether it was helping us tune up our bikes or giving us guidance on our home electronics/wiring. We will miss our training buddy & friend and his tremendous spirit and energy.

Please accept my heartfelt sympathies for your loss. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family during this difficult time.

Jerry and Dot, I pray for peace for your family. May the memories of the good times you shared rise to fill the void you feel today.

Dear Jerry, Dot and Jennifer.
I am truly sorry for your loss.
I remember when he visited us
at the office. How good and spirited
he seemed and how proud you were of him. He will be missed.

My prayers are with you. David was my co-worker at the YMCA. In fact, he used to take my yoga classes some years ago before he took his teacher training course and began teaching his own class. He will be missed.
Peace and love to you!

You and your family are in my thoughts and prayers. Please accept my deepest sympathy.

Dear Jerry, Dot, and Jennifer,
I pray that each of you are recovering from your loss and that the void you all feel today will soon be filled with the memories of the good times that you shared with David. You have my deepest sympathy.

Jerry and Dot,
Please accept sincerest condolences on your grievous loss.

David will be greatly missed as a wonderful and entertaining Yoga instructor and friend. Our thoughts and prayers are with those he left behind.

Dear Jerry and Dorothy,my thoughts, prayers and heartfelt sympathy are with you and your family.

Words cannot even begin to express how deeply saddened and sorry I am for your loss. David gave so much of his time and energy to others and has touched so many lives in different ways.
