I was a good friend of David at Laguna Beach High School. He was a good 3 meter board diver. I learned about his passing from Jim MacAlistaire, a mutual friend at the 2024 all class reunion.
Best wishes to his family and we had fun together as kids.

Dave was MPCs board chairman for several years and always had kind words no matter what we faced as a non profit. He guided us through many changes especially as we became a community clinic!
Everyone who met him loved him. Our family sends you our love and prayers

Thank you for allowing me personally in being a small part of David’s life allowing Albert and I to both work and fellowship we both of you. Blessing to the family in this most difficult time.

Dave was one of those really great guys that you couldn't help but like. I never got to spend a lot of time with him, but the times we had were special, especially that "fishing trip" in the Sierras. Five days together in a cabin on Convict Lake. What a blast! David, you will be greatly missed by those who were honored to have been able to call you, Friend.

I was fortunate to be a recipient of his generosity, grace, and humor - both in his home with his family and out in the high Sierras with a group of guys on a "fishing trip". That said, even though I haven't spent much time with him, he is one of those kind souls that can't help but be missed. Our loss is God's gain. Thank you Lord, for David!
