I have nothing but fun memories of David. I remember his contageous laugh - it always brought a smile to everyone around him! My brother, John Madison, and David were friends from Chester. David used to go to Clemson games with us, even though he was a gamecock! He always added fun to that long ride and even enjoyed seeing the tigers play! We also attended the same church as his family in Chester growing up.
My thoughts and prayers are with William and Steve and David's family.
With deepest sympathy,

David, we will always remember your humor and your sweet smile. You were a joy to be around. Always upbeat and full of life, as well as a very caring person. Your children were indeed lucky to know you, if only for a short while. You will live on in them forever. God bless your family and give them strength during this time of unbelievable shock.
