David M. Sell Jr.

Still miss you to this day my dude - always

Always in my Heart!

I was recently looking through my copy of the St. Regis directory from 1993. Inside there's a beautiful picture of your family -- Boss, Sandy, Jess, Kristin, and you. Everyone looks so happy in the photo. Sometimes it's hard to understand the ways of the Lord. I visited St. Mary's and said a few prayers. Keep smiling down on us, Dave. You are not forgotten. Merry Christmas.

Hey Dave, Miss you like crazy. You've had mom for 5 years now today. Hard to believe. Missin you all like crazy. Dreamed about Dad last night. Gave him a hug and cried. Got a baby that's ready to come out. I'm sure you've all met. Can't wait to meet him or her. Keep an eye out. Love, your big sister always, J

Still miss you everyday Dave. You were the best friend a kid could ever have and the impact you had on my life will remain with me forever. When I wanted to quit you wouldn't let me. When I needed you - you came running and yet I never got to return the favors. You will be missed EVERYDAY for the rest of my life and I hope to see you again Sell. I love you.

Man the Facebook posts hit me hard.. On your birthday ppl went IN when it came to talking about you. YOu must have had a way with us Bloomfielders, lol. You were such a bright & happy soul Dave; daily someone is thinking about a smile you put on their face, a moment when only you were reaching out to help them, and a night they will never forget all because of you... Got me ready to sing the Golden Girls theme song, LOL ~ miss ya lil brah brah

Ay man I gotta let you know you have a lot of amazing friends that miss you soo much. I know you are looking down on all of them with your best. Love ya, miss ya, always wit ya!

Hey Dave, you have her up there now... she missed you terribly. We miss you both terribly. Things are of course moving on, bittersweet really. I miss you everyday. Your smiles still comfort. Love you man.

I miss you <3

You are so terribly missed Dave. I think about you everyday, but today you have been on my mind most of the day. I know that we are really spiritual beings having a human experience and that you are still with us. I am getting the material together for the 3rd Annual David M. Sell, Jr. Scholarship which will be awarded in a few weeks. I'll be looking for your input!

Merry Christmas David.. never forgetn bro!

Dave,
I remember living in Oakland and going to St. Regis with you. Then I went to Sacred Heart elemetary. I remember getting on the bus and there you were in the last seat. From that day on, we were friends. After 8th grade we went to different schools. Then once again I happened to be in bloomfield and ran into you and you had a big smile and laughing and just were having a great time as always. I did'nt see you for a while and I moved out of state. Then one day I get a phone call from a mutal friend and I heard you were gone. I was sad to hear that. I know you are ok in heaven. You were such a funny,happy,nice young man.My prayers go out to you and your family.

So -I just found out on your birthday that I now have a place to come visit you. Words cannot explain how much I think of you and miss you everyday, but I have a feeling you already know this. Thank you for watching out for me and letting me know you are still here. I love you and will see you soon at St. Mary's

"The day is remembered and quietly kept, no words are needed, we shall never forget, for those we love don't go away, they walk beside us every day. Unseen and unheard, but always near, so loved, so missed, so very dear"
--Seraphim Angel Memorial Message

Merry Christmas David,
Ohh this year was hard! There is just a few days left and I still feel the weight on my shoulders. With this New Year to come, please watch over us and bless us. Fill our lives with happiness and Love you gave when we were with you. I still miss that smile... (wink)
Bye for now,

Boss and Sandy - Harold just told me. My heart goes out to you for your incredible loss.
Much love
Judy Agnew

It was around this time of year that I last seen you. I had not expected to run into you down the Field but there you were. Of course the first thing I said was "What the (you know what) are you doing down here? After exchanging hugs and hellos I joined you in the Rogsters yard for some chat time. As we said good bye your smile stayed with me. I could not believe that would be my last time with you. The last time I could say be good or I will tell your sister! That moment is forever engraved in my heart. I Love ya, I miss ya, and I can not wait to see you again.

So today is a day with tears Dave. I opened your obituary to read over the entries and look at that face of yours and they came gushing. I miss you man. Life goes on but I still miss you like ever. It doesn't seem fair but its not really a matter of that is it? Its just life and I'll miss you for the duration of it. love you dave

May God give you the strength that you need at this time and forever.

Sunday I was about to throw out Friday's unread paper, but decided to look thru it first. Seeing David's name took my breathe away. It touched the whole family and we are so sorry for your loss.

Dear Sandy, Dave and family,
We were saddened to hear of David's passing. We know David only through Sandy and Luke, but everything we know of David leads to him being a wonderful person, after all he is a "Sell". Reading the entries in this book about David reminds us alot of Luke. Our thoughts and prayers are with you at this difficult time and always. Sandy I have admired you first in raising the wonderful kids that you and your husband have/are raising, and second for not ever giving up on David; you are an inspiration. You are truly a special person and mom, as is the rest of your family.

Sandy and family,

may the Lord give you strength to deal with your loss. you all will be in my prayers.

words that once annoyed you are the things you truly miss. you don't realize the value of actions or his words until you know you will never hear his words or see his action again. people may try to cheer us up by trying to act like Dave Sell but that doesn't cheer us up because there will never be nobody like Dave Sell. he made my life a little brighter with his will to take me anywhere no matter if i wanted to go or not. everybody knew that i was in safe hands when i was with him. he was like my brother! Whentimes were hard i always counted on Dave Sell to make me smile, laugh, or even cry. he will always be in my thoughts and in my heart. when i first found out i needed my friends so i went out and all i could do was look up at the sky knowing that he was looking down on me and down on everybody that loved him.

I am very sorry for your loss. Dave was an amazing person. It was a rarity to not see Dave smile while glaring those endless dimples!! I am very thankful to of had him in my life. He always made me laugh and will continue to do so as I never forget the times I had with him. His wild spirit will live on in our memories. I will deeply miss him as will the many of friends he made during his journey here! Love you Dave!

Sandy, Luke, David, and the rest of the Sell family, I wish to express my deepest condolencenes and prayers to somehow help you through this most difficult time. The bright blue eyes, the smile with attention from the CNA's, and the dedication from an ever so devoted mom, will help everyone involved in this very special young man's life and passing, bring us closer to GOD, the joy and sorrow a family will share, and help us appreciate every moment we have together. My heartfelt thoughts are with you. Cheryl Halucha LPN Southwestern

No bond is as great as that between a parent and child. My deepest condolences are with you as you grieve.

To The Sell Family,

First of all I wanted to say I am sorry to the Sell family for the lost of your baby boy. I remember I met Dave through my sister Chynna and I must admit, My first real memory of Dave was how he was soo cute (I kind of had a crush on him!).

He was always cheery and in a good mood everytime I seen him and He would always be with his little brother sam! Sam really looked up to him because he was such an amazing person. His time has come to go on home to serve God and watch over his brothers and sisters. Dave was such a strong influence to everyone he met even when he wasn't trying to be, he definetely had that spunk in him. I remember his beautiful smile and big blue eyes everytime he came around that corner of Frazier and said hello to me and my grandmom!! Haha he cracked me up all the time.

Chynna and I will like to thank you for bringing Dave to us because he has changed us in many ways. Our hearts out to you all at this difficult time and I want you to know that if you need any help with anything you know where I live. I love you.

I LOVE YOU DAVE! DON'T EVER FORGET THAT SWEETY. *I hope to see you again and please say hello to my Mommy up there*

May God help you through this sorrowful time of your life. We will all miss David's smile and those beautiful beautiful blue eye of his. If you need to talk you can call any time of the day or night. I love all of you and will keep you in my prayers.

Sandy and family - I was so sorry to hear of David's passing. His time here was short but I am sure he touched many lives during that time. Your strength during his illness was phenomenal and will help you during this difficult time. Take care of yourselves and each other. In sympathy, teresa stackhouse

Dear Sandy, David and family,

We are so very sorry for your loss. David was such a happy, smiling face child who grew into a handsome, caring young man. We have many memories of David, especially those that involve his time playing baseball for The Sacred Heart Baseball League. He truly enjoyed life and had a heart of gold.

David was a student of mine during my very first year of teaching at Career Connections. He was my favorite! He always worked for me, and I enjoyed him in my class. My sympathy is with his family and friends. He was loved and will be missed.

To Mr. and Mrs. David Sell Sr. and family,
We express our deepest sympathy on the loss of your son David. We will always remember him for his humor with the kids in the nieghborhood, his bright smile and dimples. We remember him as a young child playing behind the church and visiting some of the services with his sisters. Our continued thoughts and prayers are with you. We pray the comfort and peace that comes from our heavenly father, rest upon you, during this time of bereavement. If there is anyhing that we can do, please do not hesitate to ask. God bless you all.

David Sell was a person that always had a smile on his face! He was the kind of guy that had a devilish grin, but deep down a heart that was good. I can always remember the way that he would tease and almost at times annoy everyone that he met, but there was no way to really not like him. He was honest and sincere and really the life at any party. He will be sadly missed, but is in a place that we will all hopefully see him again.

Mary Lou, Puddy, and family,
Words cannot express how sorry we are in the loss of your loved one. May all the happy memories you have of him bring you some consolation. Our prayers are with you.

To the Sell Family:

I am so very very sorry for your loss. My thoughts are with you.
