Time has passed, yet there has not been a single day that Dave has not been in my thoughts. He was like a brother to me. I only had the opportunity to see him twice a year, but those were the only two weeks I ever looked forward too. I will miss his smiles and stories forever.

I know words are just words--but I wanted to express my deepest sorrow for your loss. I found out at the end of December and think I was in shock for weeks. Dave was a good friend, and he was my favorite smile at the Rowie. Seeing him was like coming home. He will forever be missed...my thoughts are with you

Dear Pettigrew family,
I grew up with Dave on Mercer Island and have MANY great memories with him. I recently came back home for my grandma's funeral during Thanksgiving and was able to spend a couple of days with Dave. I can't even type right now I am so sad. This last year is the closest I have ever been with Dave and when I achieved getting my Real Estate license he was the MOST supportive. We always joked about me moving back home and becoming the "dynamic duo" team. I am so sorry for you and knowing how horrible I feel I can't imagine how you must feel. I missed the funeral and it is really hard to be all the way over here without the suppport of our friends. I know we are supposed to celebrate his life and I am sure I will be there someday but right now I miss him too much. thank you for bringing such a wonderful person into this world, my heart is with you everyday. Much love-Sarah

Dear Pettigrew family,
I feel lucky to have known David and to have been his friend. He always welcomed me with his smile and when I would reach out to shake his hand 'brothers don't shake hands, brothers gotta hug' was his standard response. In that way he made us all feel special and is still making us smile.
David was truely loved by all and will be missed and remembered. My heart goes out to David's wonderful family.

Dear the Pettigrew Family,
I am so sorry to hear this news. My fond memories of Dave begin in 3rd grade, at Lakeridge Elementary school, where he was quite a hearthrob! I remember being completely elated when Dave let me wear his gold [chain] necklace during recess. I saw Dave last at Megan and Kevin's wedding at the top of Alpental - he was smiling and joyful, as he always has been. I will remember him this way. I wish all the best to your family - you and Dave are in my thoughts and prayers.

Dear David,
Oh how my heart aches for you. I miss you with every breath I take. I treasure the time we were granted, and am sad for the loss of the time we had planned for each other. I see you everywhere, and think of you always. You are my brother, best friend and soul mate. I wait until we are together again fishing heavenly waters....I miss you little bro....And I know you miss us all and are watching over us from a greater place.

Dear Pettigrew family,
What can I say that wasn't said yesterday. Dave was an incredible and very special person. I loved seeing him and whenever I did he always greeted me with a smile. I did not realize how much apart of my life Dave actually was until now. I have so many warm and loving thoughts about him, and I am so glad that I got to have him in my life. Dave was amazing and that was evident to the crowd that has been celebrating david's life since his passing. Yesterday was unbelievable with the turnout at the cathedral. I know that Dave was smiling down on us. My thoughts and prayers are with all of you.

Oh David! He will be missed by so many and yesterday was an incredible reflection on his life. I will never forget what I experienced yesterday - a "full house" at St. James Cathedral, the soaring eagle at the grave site and again at the house, uniting with friends - both old and new, and great stories about David at the Rowie! My evening ended with tired cheeks and a sore stomach from laughter. I look forward to keeping David alive through continuing to hear and tell his stories. I love you all so much. I will miss David deeply.
xoxo,
Fancy

Dave was a great friend and co-worker whom I only had the chance to know these last 2 years. He brought joy into our lives here at the office every day, wheather it was in the form of a fish, a golf club, or a lacrosse stick. He had a love for the outdoors and life itself. He was a man with many tales. He respected everyone he came into contact with and he left a great impression, always. He appraised real estate here at our office and he was damn good at it! Especially with his customer service...funny he spoke with everyone as if they were his freinds and treated everyone the same. He will be sorely missed and will never be replaced. Take care good friend,
Love John and Erin.

I want to express my deepest sympathies to the Pettigrew family, and his large network of friends - I was fortunate to have played golf with Dave over the summer, and was able to boogie a little with him at Trey Anastacio at the Paramount a few weeks back. He constantly carried a smile that could light up a room, and he will be VERY missed!

I met Dave because he attended just about every gig that our band performed. He has a huge family of friends in Seattle who will remember him from the Tuesday shows. He was full of joy and love, and I will try to learn from that and keep his joy going. We will all miss you so much, Dave. I hope you know how many people you have touched in your short life and how much we really loved you.

I have been remembering all the fun and mischief we got into as boys in Island point. I feel really sad that Dave has passed away, but also grateful for those fun times, and to realize that Dave's fun/mischevious spirit was more a part of me than I realized.

Dear Pettigrew Family,
My thoughts and prayers are with you during this very difficult time. I met David last October in Boston (I am Christian's girlfriend, Kathryn Forest)- we all went to a Red Sox game together and I was so excited to meet him. Christian loved him so much, it was obvious that they shared such a special bond as best friends. David was so happy to be in Boston visiting Christian and I feel so lucky I got to meet him. Please know you are in my daily prayers. My deepest sympathies.
