I think of David often. Growing up on Okinawa, David was the first friend I ever had. We were inseparable. His family made me feel like I was a family member. Even though we hadn´t spoken since my family moved to the state. After time I kept searching for him. I finally found Jonathan and he helped me to reunite with David. I will always remember him and will keep my memories alive. Rest in peace my friend until we meet again.

I was Dave's real estate advisor when he sold his home in Fountain Valley. I knew him to be kind and thoughtful. It makes me happy to know he is a Christian and with Jesus now. He missed his wife greatly, and now the pain of that has passed. My condolences to the family.

I was privileged to meet David several months ago and enjoyed his caring spirit for his mom and family! Dave was a deep thinker and cared about knowing Jesus deeply. I am so grateful I got the spend the time with him that I did, and I look forward to much more time in Heaven with Him and Jesus!

My big brother, Dave, will be sorely missed. Mom´s first memory of him was of Dave trying to eat flowers. Dave had flower power! I remember him taking me for rides on his motorcycle on Okinawa when I was between 6 and 8 years old. And when I was 20 he provided a home for me when I was in need. Dave was always wild and restless until he met the love of his life, Becqua. He married her and her kids, Ryleigh and Justin, and raised them as his own. He loved his family and they were a package deal! When he lost Becqua and his kids were grown up and moved away, Dave´s world caved in. He was lost without his family, without his soulmate, and I pray he is now at peace, joined together with his beloved wife, knowing their kids were given a good chance to be happy themselves in their own lives, because he loved them so much. Rest in peace my dear sweet brother.

David Littman was my step father, but in my eyes he was not only my mentor, hero, someone I looked up too greatly, biologically or not he was and will remain my Father. He was my mother's soulmate and I am so happy and appreciative that he was in my life and my families life. He was a man of many talents and was passionate about the arts, music, cars, and technology. He had a great sense of humor, was brilliant, goofy, caring, strong, and inspired me to better myself and pursue things I was passionate about. He always told me with hard work, great work ethic and a strong will you can achieve what you want in this life. He was my father, my Dad, my inspiration, my hero, one of my bestfriends and the man I aspire to be. He showed me strength, compassion, wisdom, taught me about life and instilled a drive and work ethic that would help me later on in life. "No matter what the job is do it to your full potential whether your being watched or not. The details in every aspect of life are important from work to your home life so treat them with respect." I will always hold my father with me in my heart. I will cherish every single memory me made to together from going to Z club meetings, to races, to the indy 500 outta Long Beach to Catalina and a helicopter trip back, to being at his work site with him to going over blue prints at home with him to talking cars to listening to pink Floyd or led zeppelin together. I loved and love my Dad greatly and he will be sorely missed. But atleast he is resting peacefully amongst the stars with his soul mate my mother and the rest of the Canivan, Littman, Nance Clan. Till we meet again Dad just know I love you with all my heart and soul and always and forever will.
Love your Eldest Son

David was my brother-in-law and I knew him for as long as I've known my husband ( his brother,Jon). Rebecca was my best friend since the 9th grade and it was easy for me to see that they belonged together. They were truly in love and I can't think of one of them without the other..Rest in peace Dave.

I I had thE privilege of working with Dave for over 20 years at RDC. I witnessed his passion for his work as an architect, his genuine care to everyone around him and his sense of humor that made our workdays more enjoyable. He exhibited unparalleled level of expertise in execution of complex projects, quality control and was the driving force behind delivery phase of our theatre projects. May David rest in peace and we find strength in the cherished memories we shared with him. My deep condolences to his family and friends.

I met David at RDC almost 18 yrs ago and quickly fell in love with his sense of humor, dry wit and the best one liners. David was super smart, and we where so proud of him getting his architecture license. He bought a car off me for his son and we talked a lot after the loss of Rebecca ( who I was lucky enough to see at most holiday parties) and my only solace at this tragic loss is that they are together again. We will always remember you David.

My first favourite memory of David is of him trying to eat a flower.
