I can't believe that it has been five years since David passed. He was a wonderful, Christian man, that was so good to my parents - his great-aunt and great uncle - Ochie Mae and Selby Bowling. God bless you and know that we think of you and your family often.

David was my classmate, my friend, and a great American. He served God, his family, his country, his community and was a great person all around. I know he is sorely missed by his family and community. Dan Saxon
