I just wanted to let the entire Knaggs family that my prayers are with them at this time. I grew up with David's brother, Bart, and our family lived just up the hill on Hillbrook. I can remember David playing basketball and all sorts of sports in the side yard of their home until all hours of the day. A few years later after David started to drive, I remember that he would drive Bart's old car. There was many a time that I would honk at David even though I thought it was Bart. He just waved a friendly wave even though I'm sure he knew the mistake made on my account. I was so sorry to hear of this loss! I pray that God will give you strength and be with all of you at this time!

What a loss to every one who knew David. And what a gift he was to every life he touched. My memories run deep from kindergarden through high school. Most recently he was my neighbor fighting this horrible illness. I share my condolences with all who loved him. My prayers are for you.

A child of God has been called home, though reasons may not be clearly known; Once was man is now an angel taken flight, earthly demons no longer to fight; One form of existence to another evolved, pain and suffering now resolved; May those left behind, find peace and comfort in the course of time. Deepest sympathy to all those who knew and loved David.

My wife and I express our deepest sorrow for the loss of David. He was a classmate of our daughter, Amy, in elementary school.

I am so very sorry to hear of David's death. I grew up on Highland View Drive and attended elemenary school with David. Although I have not seen him in many, many years, I have great memories of playing "war" in the creek down the street from our houses and of eventful busrides to and from Brooke Elementary. He was always one of the brightest, most hilarious boys in the class. I remember laughing a lot! Again, I am so sorry for your loss-- Your family is in my thoughts.
