i graduated from knox city high, but am enough older than david that i have trouble placing him. i have no trouble, however, picking up the love, caring, and respect shown here by his family, friends, and professional associates. he was clearly a man who made a difference wherever he went.
i tip my hat to david ray speck with the utmost of respect and am sorry i didn't know him better. it was clearly my loss.

Very sad to hear David past away. I had spent a few hours with him the day before he passed on. He was very respected not a better man to work with in the oilfield. He will be greatly missed by those he worked with. Prayers for all of his family and friends

I would like to offer my deepest condolences to David's friends and family. He was great man and will certainly be missed. Many of us worked for him over the years, and we all had an enormous amount of respect for him. He is pretty much a legend in oil filed circles. It won't be the same out here without him.
