It was a blessing from the first time we met in the fourth grade, from Union School to the High School. We played many sports. We always had the same goals in mind, enjoyed playing the games we loved while competing to get the W. Over the years, our faith kept us close. After we were out of school, coaching our kids in sports was the next step. After building houses, we decided to do some houses together which was a lifetime of memories. From the nights we had the bonfires, to the hot days with the cold bullets, to the trips with Big White to the away games. We've talked about it many times when we were taking kids and flying them on your plane to Florida for 9-year-old baseball. lol
I always appreciated your dedication for faith, family, friends. I never thought it would be so soon. It is with great disappointment I say goodbye. I love you along with the entire Kendzicky family.

Dear Dana and family,
There are no words to adequately express my sorrow for you. David was a wonderful man. I remember when he and Grant played football at Hillsdale. We sometimes went with his parents, Betty and Ray, and sat together at many games. Such a beautiful family.
David´s obituary was lovely.
With love and peace, Olivia Fanning
