What a moving tribute from your son, Jake. Moved me to tears again remembering what a loyal, caring, loving, nephew you were to Jeff and I. Everyone loved the life of the party, and misses you so much. What a great day it will be when we all meet again.

Hey Dad, miss you all the time. Feels strange messaging here but I was so young I never really got to say goodbye or understand fully who you were to me. But I love you and mom always tells me you loved us more than life itself. One day we´ll meet again in heaven and you're always the first person I tell people I can't wait to meet when I get there. Love your son, Jake.

Happy belated birthday David. Love to you and all our family there from me and Uncle Jeff. We miss you and everybody so much. You never get over losing someone you hold so dear. You have a whole slew of grandkids now from Justin (5, I think). Jake the patriot in the army for a few yrs now. Both so handsome and good men. You would be so proud of them both. Give everyone a big hug especially GG <3

Hi David Allen,
Was just talking to someone about you yesterday. She's dealing with some sad news about her sister. I told her I know how hard it is to lose people you love. It leaves a big hole in your heart and you never stop missing them. We've got quite a bunch of relatives up there now. You're all in good company since GG joined you Give GG a big hug and tell her we love and miss her everyday and I consider it a privilege that I got to share close times and take care of her. Big Love, Hugs and Kisses to each and every one of you until we meet again in Heaven ❤
Sandy, Stevie and Jeff
so handsome Aunt Darlene loves you all

We think of Dave everyday too and he always feels with us. I am sorry for this picture of his silly father with 2 crazy ladies posted on here. Not sure why I put that in 4 years ago but maybe if everyone put in picture of Dave or even of themselves(we know Dave must have loved you which means we love you too). I can upload some but dont know how to delete that one that is there now? Let's see the Love! Love us Chester folk....ps(Nice to see this Guest Book still here, I didn't know.

Hard to believe 2 years have gone by! But not a day goes by that I do not think of my friend Dave and the great time's that we shared! Whenever I hear a song on the radio that reminds me of him, I get a BIG SMILE, and know he is thinking of me! My father Rowe and I cherish the memorie's and the great time's we shared with him and Gretchen! NOTHING CAN EVER TAKE THOSE MEMORIE'S AWAY!

2 years later and it still breaks my heart to come here and read everyone's loving thoughts. There's still a huge hole in all of our hearts that I guess will always be there. It's true that we don't appreciate our loved ones sometimes while they're here. It's only when they're taken from us that we realize what an impact they had on our lives. I see your smiling face in my mind whenever I think of you David Allen. I love you and will always miss you so so much!

Dave spirit is felt strongly up here in Chester, two years later. Told Jake his Daddy would be so proud of him on his 10th birthday and is soo true. We are missing Dave!
January 28, 2010
Its two years today since David passed away. I still miss him everyday and still can't believe he's really gone. He will live forever in my heart as will his brother John. I'll never forget that smile of his and his angel face. I see him in my grandsons and the wonderful young men they are becoming. I am very proud of Gretchen for the strength she has shown to go on and for being such a brave and wonderful Mom.

" I MISS HIM " I spent last night with Gretchen at her house, and we talked about Dave, while listening to his favorite song's, and beating on his drumset as he use too ! I told Gretchen that I felt Dave was with us that night and I think she really needed to hear that ! It's hard to believe that Dave has been gone one year already ! I wish that I could see my friends great "SMILE" just one more time . Not one day goes by that I don't think about him and the good times I shared with him and Gretchen. Dave will forever be in my heart.

DEAR GOD,
A YEAR AGO WE LOST AN INTRICATE PART OF OUR FAMILY. IT'S STILL ALMOST UNBELIEVABLE. WE STILL MISS DAVID ALLEN SO MUCH! AS MUCH AS WE ALL WANT HIM HERE WITH US, I BELIEVE HE IS IN A BETTER PLACE WITH YOU, JOHN, RUDY ,MANUEL AND EVELYN, BRUCE, ROCKY AND ALL HIS OTHER RELATIVES AND FRIENDS WHO HAVE LEFT THIS WORLD. I STILL PRAY FOR HIS MOTHER, FATHER, WIFE AND CHILDREN THAT YOU WILL KEEP EVERYONE STRONG UNTIL WE ALL MEET AGAIN IN HEAVEN. AMEN. P.S. WE WILL ALWAYS LOVE AND MISS YOU DAVID.

Dave and John both are in our hearts and souls. Thier laughs are in our heads. Their generosity, compassion and livelihood will forever remain with us. They are dearly missed! Gretchen and the kids are so strong and are doing well. Dave had a lot to do with that too! Jakey was so happy on his birthday. Thinking of everyone! I know Dave is heavy on our thoughts and still so unbeleivable that a force like that is gone from our lives. Take care Dave's family and friends and we LOVE YOU! We love you Sheri!

It's been almost a year since David left to join his brother,grandparents and friends in Heaven. I still can't believe he's gone and keep expecting for him to call and say Hi Mom,How Are You?They say Time heals all wounds,but mine will never heal until I see my boys again face to face.I Dream about them a lot.May God grant us all the strength to live each day without the Loved Ones that we Miss So Dearly.

David would've turned 43 on August 15th and it was a very sad day for me.I still miss him and John so much.I still can't believe they're gone. A mother isn't supposed to outlive her children. I pray for Gretchen and the boys everyday.Because as hard as it is on me,I know they miss him terribly everyday too.I hope in the future to understand why God took them so young,for now I will never understand with all the bad in this world,why he needed to take my boys that were such good Men.

A warm breeze blows lightly to the east as the sun starts to burn the horizon. Strawberry-Orange velvet melts into a baby blue cotton sky. With Perfection and Pride his Presence engulfs the scenery around him. In the silence of the morning surrounded by his strength and confidence the Mighty Lion releases all his hopes and dreams, truths and beliefs in one mighty roar. He awakens the deepest part of earths soul and says, "Good Morning , Today I will I will be King one more day."
I love you brother and my life will forever be changed by your greatness. Until we meet again, Today I will be king one more day.

Please accept my deepest sympathy for the loss of David. He was my cousin. My brother and I haven't been in touch for a long time, but I have very fond memories of spending many summers playing hide and go seek, playing football, and swimming in the ditch with David, John, and Robert at Grandma Cookie and Grandpa's house. He was always a sweet, fun kid with a great sense of humor. I still picture the tall lanky kid with broad shoulders and strawberry blonde hair and freckles. My condolences to Gretchen, Sheri, David Sr., and the entire family. His memory will live in our hearts. Love, Diane Sarmento

David had a great impact on me personally. I was very small and David was this towering young man. I aspired to be like David who was coordinated and good at sports particularly football and baseball. The summers we spent in Modesto at Chick and Cookie's house were filled with days swimming in the canal, tossing the football with my cousins. David was always the center piece. He always was happy to see us and took the time to make sure he always included everyone. I remember going to his little league game and him racing grandmas car back to uncle david's house on his bicycle. Can't remember who was first but Cookie drove pretty slow. I will miss his warm smile and kindness.
I will miss him deeply. He lives in my memories.

My uncle Dave was a kind hearted and caring individual. This is most apparent in the fact that although he was so young he managed to make an impact on so many peoples lives. So many lives in fact that one celebration of his life just isn't enough, he needs a second.
I can't imagine how Gretchen, Justin and Jake must feel to lose such an important part of thier lives, but i want them to know that they are loved and can trust that thier family will be there for them.
