I met David when me and a few friends were doing photo shoots in Nashville. He was very respectful, kind, hospitable, hilarious...and boy did he love betting and talking about those horses! He always made me smile.

Most importantly, he didn't put me down or judge me for who I was and what I did. If I needed anything, he was there for me. He was one of a kind.
He will be truly missed.

I was just looking up David's contact as I need his help again. The news of his death took my breath away. He was kind and true to his word. I'm so very sorry. My prayers of peace for his family and many friends. I have a first hand experience with the recent loss of my husband. I hurt deeply for You and all who will miss him daily. You have reason to be proud of him.

I am very sorry to hear of David's passing. I was a very close friend of the family and know they would have been very proud of his success and accomplishments. This is an imponderable loss for all who knew and knew of David. For those who knew David but were unaware, he was named for his fine grandfather, Clyde Downard, of the Bracken and Pendleton County area in Northern Kentucky, and his Uncle David Downard, who gave his life in Vietnam, defending this country.
Blessings, Family.

David was a close friend of mine growing up in the small town of Falmouth Kentucky.
We had alot of fun times doing things we probably shouldnt have been doing, but somehow we survived it all and would share those memories from time to time.
From Me and all the Coleman Brothers we will miss you ol Buddy.

Prayers for all in the Family. David was a good egg and a worthy litigator. I referred him several cases over the years and the clients were very satisfied. The Bar lost a fine Attorney. May his memory be eternal.
