David T. Hocking

I loved His teaching. I went to Israel with him in a group of CCCM people. It was easy to be with him and he was so enlightening. See you in heaven David.

This year you have our sister, Glenda, with you. Please hug her from me and tell Mom I miss her so much. Miss you big brother. Please continue to watch over us.

I'm going to miss your teaching

Still missing you, David. Yesterday I was cleaning and found a bear that you gave me and told me how special I was to you on the card. Made me miss you more. Love you and will see you on the other side. Take care of Mom and all that have passed before us. ❤

Today we lay you to rest in the Great Lakes National Cemetery. It's going to be a hard day today for all of us but especially Mom. Rest in God's Heavenly Peace. We love & miss you already.

Dear Papa Bear, You shined the light that showed us the way. Always kind, compassionate, and super smart. Your courage, perseverance, and strength mentored all those who knew you especially our precious family. You walked tall and ventured west and made a wonderful life for us, then thoughtfully, you returned to your roots once your work was complete. Your full circle exemplifies an accomplished and unselfish life. Rest now Dad as you sit at the right hand of God the Father. All our love to you.

We will forever miss you. Uncle Dave. Loved your happy high spirited demeanor. Always enjoyed your visits and your great sense of humor .thoughts and prayers go out to grandma ,David, Christopher and there families .
With much love

Uncle David, we miss you so very much! You always brought a smile to our faces, warmth to our home, love to our hearts and the best hugs EVER! Our family is grateful for having you in our lives and know that you are the life of the party even now! God Bless!

Dave (aka Salty) & I first met in Reno at a Navy Reunion, what a trip! I truly enjoyed meeting & knowing Salty. It was mine & my wife's honor to be able to introduce Salty to Pastor Hagee of Cornerstone Church. A true moment for Dave. I enjoyed sharing e-mails with him and we shared a lot of our hearts with one another. I will truly miss him.
Salty, I know you are in the Best Hands now, rest my Brother, my Comrade in Arms, my friend; rest now.

David was a nice and generous cousin and loved to see all of us in the Northern part of Michigan. Would love to share Friday with you but don't think I can. Will pray for my Aunt and Cousins on this sad day. Love you all
