Mrs. Woods,
You and your family have my sincerest condolences on the loss of Dave, I have just learned of his passing. It was truly an honor to have him as a student in my course at BGSU this semester. He was passionate about education, his students, but most of all his family. I feel blessed to have known him even over this short time. You are all in my prayers.

To the Woods Family,
My utmost and sincere condolences,
Dave and I met this semester @ BGSU, where we had 2 classes together and were partnered together for various projects. He held a wealth of knowledge and was such a nice guy. He spoke to me about his family (whom he obviously loved), his work and all the students he had taught, his friend(s) from his UT days, and all the things in his life he so cared about- he always had a great story to tell, and I am so glad I got to listen. I was just getting to know him over the past 12 weeks but could already tell that he was a very compassionate person- he will sorely be missed. My heart, thoughts, and prayers go out to you. I wish I could have paid my respects in person but I just found out today.

To the Woods family,
I am so sorry for your loss. Dave was a wonderful man and a wonderful teacher. Know that he will be greatly missed. I knew him as fellow teacher at McTigue. He made a difference in the lives of his students and in the lives of all of us fortunate enough to know him. We will miss his smile.
You will be in my prayers.

Dear Andrea,
Our deepest sympathies to you and your family. From our days at UT until we worked together as Financial Advisors, I always found Dave to be a shinning star. I will miss sharing our faith together. Nothing can fill the void of a missing loved one. I like to remember the good times. Dave once told me one of your children asked him, “since you work in a cubical for an insurance company, are you like Mr. Incredible?” Although he may not have had super powers, he was always proud of his family. If we can help in any way please give us a call. God Bless.

My deepest sympathies go out to you during this extremely difficult time. Though it may be hard to see right now or understand, the Lord is here for you whenever you call on him.

Dave was always thoughtful and friendly. Anyone could see that Dave was a good father. We were so pleased when we found out that Dave was our son's soccer coach this fall. We recall Nathan saying, "Coach Woods said I was one of his favorites!" Dave regularly encouraged Nathan and it meant a lot to him.
The fact that Dave will be missed is certainly an understatement. Our daughter Rebekah is especially concerned about Kristen since they have been friends for so long. Andrea, we promise to keep you and your children in our prayers. We pray that God Almighty will protect you, give you comfort, and provide a peace that only He can give.
Love,

To Dave's Family,
It is with deep regret I heard of Dave's passing. Although I grew up and graduated from high school with Dave nearly 30 years ago, I still thought of him, especially when the song on my MP3 player, "Pop Music" by M, would play. He loved that song.
Dave had a terrific smile that I will never forget. His ability to persevere through the difficult challenges he faced, humbled me as he walked his journey to be the best version of himself.
Know that the entire Woods family is in my thoughts and prayers. And for Dave, may the sun and moon be replaced with the light of Jesus' face.
November 11, 2010
To the Woods Family - So sorry to hear about David. Dave was such a wonderful upbeat Man. Over the years, Dave always seemed to pop in my mind and bring back great memories as a kid. With our deepest sympothies - Dave Kent and Family

Please accept my heart-filled condolences Andrea, Corey, Kristen, and Bradley. The many friends of our beloved David are praying for you, and asking the Lord to give you strength. Dave, you will always be remembered in our prayers and in our hearts! Please remember us in yours, as you smile down on us from Heaven. I will always remember your kindness, laughter, and Friendship, over the many years. You always managed to make everyone smile. You could always be counted on to break the ice with your laughter and quick wit. I have learned many things from you over the years, thanks for teaching me what is important in life! Simple phrases that come to mind when I think about you: Live simply and appreciate what you have, Free your heart from hatred - learn to forgive, Give more - Expect less, Remember yesterday, dream about tomorrow, but live today. Every time I hear "Simple Man" on the radio, I have to smile and think of our retreat, and how you changed my life. You taught me how to forgive, and I am full of gratitude forever. You have been one of the most inspirational people I have ever met. My CRHP Brother, You will be sadly missed my Friend!! May your soul, and all the souls of our faithful departed, through thy Lord's mercy, rest in peace. Our Father has called you home. Rest now, and dwell in the House of the Lord forever. Your work in this world is done, and a fine job you did. I will always cherish our friendship, and the impact you made in this world is greater than you could ever know.

A POEM FOR DAVE
D-id all he could for our youth,
A-nd tried to bring them truth;
V-ery sensitive & loving man,
I-nvesting good was in his plan.
D-ecided and pursued education,
W-here he found his vocation;
I-n light of all he went through,
L-ove was what he tried to do.
L-iving with his own malady,
I-s challenging and hard to see;
A-fter all that he faced in life,
M-ost of all he loved his wife.
W-hen it comes to AA family,
O-nly God’s love we can see;
O-pen to what we understand,
D-eferring to God’s Holy Plan,
S-erenely in God’s Holy Hand.

I knew Dave from a CRHP team that we were on together several years ago, and to this day he never once hesitated to give me a big bear hug every time he saw me. What love he had in his heart. During those times we spent together he was truly suffering, but fully committed to keep up the battle and turn his life around in the name of Jesus. As I saw his progression and his victories turn his struggles into joy I was so dramatically inspired that I quickly followed his lead, never hesitating to rely on him for advice and prayers. Today I am nearly 6 years sober, am engaged to be married, and am a blessed man, largely in part to the caring, loving, amd genorosity of David Woods my friend. I know you're in heaven, we will meet again. Thank you.

To the family and friends of Dave woods I am sorry to hear of his passing,I first had the pleasure of meeting him while working at Mills Hardware where he was a weekend regular. I always enjoyed waiting on him he was always so kind was always sporting a smile and a witty statement. I got to know Dave at a more intimate level while be reunited through our mutual friend Bill.W. I know there is nothing I can say to ease your pain, so I will just pray that through his spirit the pain will ease and the joy of his memmories will overwhelm your emotions with laughter and serenity.

No words can ease the pain, but eventually the comfort will come with good memories, especially those of his love for you all. Accept the help of those around you, don't be afraid to fall into the arms of those who love you, relish in their support. Andrea, you are such a strong person & have been an inspiration to me and many others! Praying for more strength for you as you go through this difficult time...
