David was one of my best friends in school. I really enjoyed spending time with the Zieglers because they were always doing something fun like playing football in the street, shooting BB guns down at the creek and going fishing almost every weekend. I always felt welcomed at the Zieglers. Gone way too soon two of my best friends David Ziegler and Clifford Wagoner.

I knew David for a very long time. He was a very nice man each and every time we spoke. My condolences to Christy, Dixie and to all the family. The world lost a special guy but heaven gained one. God Bless.
