Rebel,
Despite your rough exterior, i knew right away that you were a sweet guy, especially with that smile of yours. I'll always remember taking Dolores and Angelina to Great America and the beach and especially watching them play air guitar in my garage. Although we hadn't talked in some time, i will miss you.

Dear David & Family,
You touched my heart althought I only knew you for a brief time. I will never forget the love you had for your daughters and the way you light up when you talked about them. You had a lot of soul and had a way of leaving an impression on those you knew you forever. Rest in peace.

Son,
The one thing NO ONE can ever TAKE from me is our memories or the fact that you are/were my son, my flesh and blood! and I am soooo PROUD of that!You were the sweetest baby..you never cried! Not even when you needed your diaper changed! You did "fuss" when it came time to eat!!! You LOVED to eat when you were a baby!I miss you so terribly...my heart aches for you and your "Ma???" the sound of your voice...I always knew when you were excited, happy, proud of yourself..whatever...you wore your heart on your sleeve and you always fought for the "underdog" You hated to see anyone get taken advantage of who could not protect themselves...I am truly so proud of you...your ability to put negativity aside and "never let then see you sweat!"...you were so gifted! Why do you think you had so many women after you??? and all the male friends you made...you could fit in anywhere! Thats a gift!I just love and miss you so much...you sang, wrote poetry, songs, drew, all-star little league, in the gifted program in school..your IQ tested at "Genius level" in 2nd grade and I could go on and on about who you were...your "people-picker' might have been broken but you had to learn that for yourself1 You were BRAVE and had so much courage! And had "LONG HEART"! Qualities people only wish they had...:o)
I said a prayer at the very spot I believed you passed on at since I knew the set-up of yours and Ruby's bedroom. Your neighbor gave you both such a wonderful compliment yesterday and I felt so proud of how he thought of you and Ruby. I am comforted in the knowledge that you are with your Dad, Grandma,and Na Na. Michael is so devastated...He tells me how he always "Looked up to you" and I knew that...I just wonder if YOU knew that? Yes, no matter what trouble you found yourself in? Michael honored, respected and looked up to his "Big" brother even though he towered over you! :o)I bragged about you constantly too! No one can top your loyalty and friendship you demonstrated to alot of people.... I love and miss you so much!Hugs and kisses, "Ma"

I know you were watching over tonight at your memorial and I know that you saw just how much you were and are loved. It was an awsome memorial lots of Harleys roring everywhare. I want you to know that I am here for you Mom and Michael you dont have to worry about that. I am still having a hard time grasping that this has happened. You will forever live in so many peoples hearts David. I love you and dont forget to check in on Ma and Michael every now and then.

I will never understand why this had to be nor will anyone for that matter. I sit now and watch as the ones you loved and that loved you most go though their changes, their pain, their frustration and their loss and I tell myself I hope he is watching us all from above and I hope most of all he is able to see just how much he was really loved!! I Love you David and I will never forget you for the rest of my life. Thank you for being a part of my life for so many years now I hope you and Ruby are at total peace and just so you know when we meet again my dear friend you have some unfinished work to do!!! Until we meet again forever in our thoughts and always in our hearts…With all my love to the moon and back,

The Angels gathered near your bed, so very close to you
For they knew the pain and suffering that you were going through
I thought about so many things, as I held tightly to your hand
Oh, how I wished that you were strong and happy once again
But your eyes were looking homeward, to that place beyond the sky
Where Jesus held His outstretched arms, it was time to say goodbye
I struggled with my selfish thoughts, for I wanted you to stay
So we could walk and talk again, like we did - just yesterday
But Jesus knew the answer
And I knew he loved you so
So I gave to you life's greatest gift
The gift of letting go

Son, although you were only "ON LOAN" to me from God??? I still feel he took you too soon...I would have gladly took out a "pawn loan" to keep you with me a little longer. I can not question God's plan...I am so happy our last conversation was one of love and on a happy note. You never forgot my BD and I am not sure if you knew what that meant to me??? More than you'll ever know!I love you so much it HURTS!!! All my love, Mom

I don't know what to say Candice, our children aren't supposed to go before us. I can't imagine anything in life more painful. David you will be missed. So many of us are in shock and pain, but none of us suffer like your mom, your daughters and Angela. I cant stop thinking about the last time I saw you and what our conversation was. How you were smiling.....and when you smiled, your eyes smiled. You,Ruby, Kristy and I were laughin it up! That is a great memory, but there are many! I remember when I first met you, every girl wanted to be with Rebel....including me, the lesbian! You just had that way about you! I will never forget you! I will hold your memory in my heart forever, Justin and Joey will miss you too! Love forever, Vicki Lucas, Justin Lopez and Joey Lopez.

What though the radiance which was once so bright Be now forever taken from my sight, Though nothing can bring back the hour Of splendor in the grass, of glory in the flower, We will grieve not, rather find Strength in what remains behind...
Rebel,
We wrote your name in the sky,
but the wind blew it away.
We wrote your name in the sand,
but the waves washed it away.
We wrote your name our hearts,
and forever it will stay.
I don't understand what happen or why but I want you to know that you are loved and will be missed. Although you will live on in our hearts forever .. your presence will be missed.
As George said save me and Richard a spot at Heavens poker table. Until we meet again Rest In Peace my friend, we love you...

Son, How do I go on without you??? You were so protective of me as Me of you...Thank you for coming to me yesterday and letting me know your favorite Rolling Stones song as it will be played at your memorial. You had just shared that with me not long ago but I couldn't remember and I asked someone who spent alot of time around you if they remembered? No....then I walk to my car and it is the first song they played!!! I knew that was you...sending me the message I so desperately needed to remember. Then Ang confirmed it. I remember taking you and her to your 1st RS concert...afterwards you sang to Ang, I watch her as she is walking by...I say to myself, "I'm such a lucky guy...to have a girl like you...is truley a dream come true" that was a side of you I'd never seen...your "romantic" side..it was so sweet and I'll always hear you singing that but "Start Me Up...it will be... start you up and you'll never stop!" Punks Not Dead, Rock on Son.Love, kisses and hugs, Mom

I hold dear the thought that you knew I loved you (even when I was in the disease)and that you loved me in spite of what I took you thru because of it..thank you for loving and forgiving me even when I had a hard time believing I was deserving of it.Ride in the wind where you were 110% free and happy..I am very proud of who you demonstrated you are without drugs...Hugs and kisses, prayers and love, Mom

David... Im sad to see that god has called your name at such an early age Novi and Dolores will miss you so much. But I promise you I will do the best to take as well care of them as I can as an auntie. I will always have you and our family in prayers. I hope that you are as happy with god as you were here on earth. Novi is too young to understand but she says she loves her daddy and she misses you. Dolores... on the other hand is doing the best she can to her knowlege to try to understand.. but it will take time for BOTH of your kids to heal... just promise me that you will visit them in there dreams. I miss you brother in law. I love you.. I will see you soon (p.s.... you still need to finish my tattoo. so when i get up there i will be waiting for it...)Inside joke bro

I see our children as kites. You spend a lifetime trying to get them off the ground. You run with them until you're both breathless. They crash..you add a longer tail...you patch and comfort, adjust and teach. You watch them lifted by the wind and assure them that someday they'll fly....David you received your wings...rest in peace...

To my dearest family, some things I'd like to say...
but first of all, to let you know, that I arrived okay.
I'm writing this from heaven. Here I dwell with God above.
Here, there's no more tears of sadness; here is just eternal love.
Please do not be unhappy just because I'm out of sight.
Remember that I'm with you every morning, noon and night.
That day I had to leave you when my life on earth was through,
God picked me up and hugged me and He said, "I welcome you."
It's good to have you back again; you were missed while you were gone.
As for your dearest family, they'll be here later on.
I need you here badly; you're part of my plan.
There's so much that we have to do, to help our mortal man."
God gave me a list of things, that he wished for me to do.
And foremost on the list, was to watch and care for you.
And when you lie in bed at night, the day's chores put to flight.
God and I are closest to you....in the middle of the night.
When you think of my life on earth, and all those loving years
because you are only human, they are bound to bring you tears.
But do not be afraid to cry; it does relieve the pain.
Remember there would be no flowers, unless there was some rain.
I wish that I could tell you all that God has planned.
But if I were to tell you, you wouldn't understand.
But one thing is for certain, though my life on earth is o'er.
I'm closer to you now, than I ever was before.
There are many rocky roads ahead of you and many hills to climb;
but together we can do it by taking one day at a time.
It was always my philosophy and I'd like it for you too...
that as you give unto the world, the world will give to you.
If you can help somebody who's in sorrow and pain,
then you can say to God at night......"My day was not in vain."
And now I am contented....that my life has been worthwhile,
knowing as I passed along the way, I made somebody smile.
So if you meet somebody who is sad and feeling low,
just lend a hand to pick him up, as on your way you go.
When you're walking down the street, and you've got me on your mind;
I'm walking in your footsteps only half a step behind.
And when it's time for you to go.... from that body to be free,
remember you're not going.....you're coming here to me.
