He came to my fathers funeral on his own personal time and helped me fold the American flag from his casket. He was a hell of a good Soldier and person.

I have so many found memories of SGM. My heart is heavy. Praying for his family and friends and the peace that passes all understanding.

I knew David as an observant, reflecting, loyal, and industrious person. He knew no enemies, cherished his friends and companions in service. He was slow to anger, quick to support and share his knowledge with others. God blessed all of us by his presence in our lives.
