Hey DK - thanks for the birthday gift. You ordered it a long time ago - and I got it yesterday on my birthday, just like you planned. A birthday to remember! Thanks, buddy.

We hadn't seen David in many years, when we visited with him at his parents' home in Altamonte Springs. We remember his friendliness and positive sttitude. Lee, Nancy, Debbie, and David were a loving family, and it was clear that they supported each other completely.

In remembrance of David, we send our love to Nancy and Debbie. We hope you will be comforted with the pride you have for his courageous life and the love you gave and received from a beloved son and brother, David, a remarkable man.

April 5,2010

We hadn't seen David in many years, having last visited with him at his parents' home in Altamonte Sprngs.
We remember his friendliness and upbeat attitude. Lee, Nancy, and Debbie loved him dearly, and this made David a fortunate man indeed.

In remembrance of David, we send our love to Nancy and Debbie. We hope you remain comforted with the pride you felt and the love you gave and received from such a remarkable son and brother.

David was fun to be around -- he was always happy and joking -- that's how I rememberd him from Jr High and High School. And I was fortunate to be able to spend an afternoon with him in Florida before he moved to California. He looked great and although physically he had his limitations, mentally he was sharp -- he was still happy and joking and we laughed alot about those teen-age years. David was a great, great guy -- He will be missed by many -- My thoughts and prayers are with his family.

David was always cheerful and polite, no matter what. He will be missed. My condolences to Nancy, Debbie, David, and Ron.

My first memory of David is when we were in Cub Scouts together in Keene, New Hampshire. We became good friends and spent a great deal of time growing up together over the next dozen or so years. We had wonderful times at Keene Junior High School hanging out with Steve, Bruce, John, Phil, Bruce, Larry, Chrissy, Debbie, Kathy, Pam, Karen, Linda, Cici, and Maryanne. David always seemed so happy and really enjoyed life. We played tennis together and his parents would take us skiing. We had fun in those years. We continued to be close friends in high school, even after David went to Tabor. When David, Steve and Bruce would be home for a break, we would always get together to party a bit, sometimes more than a bit. We all seemed to enjoy each other's company, particularly David, who liked at times to be the life of party. David and I even double dated for the high shool senior prom, I took Karen and David took Linda. We stayed up all night and went to church the next morning, in our tuxedos. David and I both went to the University of New Hampshire. We shared an apartment and a house for two years. Our times in college were fun, and at times somewhat wild. David was fun to be with, and had a great attitude about life. After college, we drifted apart, rarely speaking or seeing each other. Our lives went in different directions. David and I did get together a fews times over the years, but not enough. I will always remember with fond memories all the terrific times we had together growing up and trying to figure out our lives. My thoughts and prayers will be with you.

Oh,...I'm so sad to hear the news...David is such a special person!He had such a fighting spirit. He loved the holidays and always made them special and I will always remember that about him. David P really stands out for what friendship and love are truly about - my thoughts and prayers are with you and with Ron and all of David K's friends and family.

The years took us in different directions, but I have have nice memories from Keene High School. All of us wish to be spoken of after we pass the way David is remembered. To family and friends, I wish you God's Grace and Peace. Dean J. Eaton Keene,NH

David set the bar really high for the rest of us. He had the warmest, generous, loving and most honest heart of anyone I have ever known. No matter what was going on with him, he wanted to know about you and yours - what were they up to and how were they doing. He found the biggest joy in the smallest of ways. David's life was difficult but he made lemonade. He was blessed with the world's most loving mother who would move heaven and earth to give David as much happiness as possible doing what was the most difficult for any parent - letting go when you really wanted to hold on tight. She not only let go, she continued to provide the same love and support and spent countless hours making beautiful things that David loved and were that much more special because they were from her heart and hands. He was given an extremely smart sister that knew how to handle things behind the scenes to make David's life as near what he wished for as possible and that he loved so dearly. He would tell me stories of the two of them over Starbucks (one of our shared guilty pleasures). You always left David feeling light in heart when your intention was to try to do that for him. He was nothing short of a miracle. Wouldn't he be proud to know how amazing we all feel he was. I hope he did know that. It's quite obvious he brought light, love and joy to all who knew him. We will all carry him in our hearts. David P, you and his caretakers were so good in updating us and dictating emails from him. I know you must feel his loss deeply. Thank you for all you two shared. From his other family, JJ, Juanita, Doug, Liz, Matt and Josh Johnson

I helped care for David for a little over a year. His spirit was an inspiration, a truly magical being whose wisdom I will cherish. I love him very much and will miss him terribly. I comfort myself by picturing him over the rainbow bridge with our old dog Sasha whom he loved dearly and all the other Dogs he adored. He will also be missed by birdie the dog i have now that David helped me pick who owes him her very life.

Thanks for everything.

PS: Thanks for the Wonderful Christmas of 08 which the best ever because i got to do my Christmasing with you! I will always think of you at that time of year!

Sorry to hear about David, an old friend.

David is such a wonderful person. He was one of those rare people - that no matter what kind of mood you were in that when you were in his presence you could not help but smile and genuinely be in a good mood. He always had an optimistic outlook about everything - he did not see problems - he saw a way to overcome the problem and to make it fun. I'd say that it's pretty safe to say that David was one of the most wonderful people to ever meet and that anyone who has come into contact with him, no matter how briefly, has had their lives bettered for it. David will be missed but never forgotton and as long as he is in our hearts, he will always be with us. Thank you David.

I knew David for over 20 years. He was one of my best friends. He was a truly wonderful person, and as I always told him...the most positive person I have EVER met in my life, despite everything he had been through. He really showed that you can be happy no matter what happens to you in life.

I will always remember his laughter, kindness, and thoughtfulness in everything he did, whether it was donating his time to help other disabled individuals at the Wellness Center in Orlando or donating to Toys for Tots every year at the Altamonte Mall.

He was a remarkable, loving person who I will truly miss! I will never forget you, David. I became a better person just by knowing you.

I met David in the Fall of 1962. We became close friends and journeyed those trying adolescent days together along with Gary, Bruce, and John. I remember a cool March evening(1966ish), stopped on a deadend stretch of road talking about where life would take us and where we wanted to be. Already that time has come and gone like the proverbial blink of an eye and though we lost touch with each other years ago I've thought of David often..(old friends never really die) and I smile at the thought that though David became infirmed he continued to give selflessly of himself and I thank him for that legacy and hope that all those he touched take this message from him. Thank you David for being my friend!

Peace,

David K never complained and every day was a new adventure. He loved to go for walks in the sun and have his coffee each morning. Thanks so much to David P for his kindness, patience and caring, his best buddy. Ron and Kevin were such good helpers, everyone who met David knew he was special. Chris & Diane Hodges Elk Grove CA

To David and the Kenny Family,
I know your heart is broken, but how lucky we were to have David K. in our life as long as we did. Knowing David for as long as I did, he will have the whole sky decorated for Christmas, Halloween and Easter. He was a dear loyal friend to me and I will always cherish him. God speed David, I love you.

I recently had been emailing David and shared some wonderful old memories. Peace be with you and your family, love, Kathy Abbott

I didn"t get to know David well, but will always remember his laugh. And his love of Christmas. Thanks for being such a great friend to my brother, he will miss you. Barbara Preddy

I never had the pleasure of meeting him but just reading of how he lived his life he sounds like such a stand up guy.If we had more people in the world like him, the world would be a better place. I'm sure he will be missed. My heart goes out to his family

I never knew you, David K, but your obituary makes me feel like I wish I had. Your buddy David P is a great friend of mine.

Augh .......
I sure miss my buddy. Thanks DK for making me smile!
