David Alexander Reade

My deepest condolences to David's family. I'm very sorry that I only came across this horrible news now...we'd lost touch in the past year after reconnecting on and off for the past 25 years. We met at Navy OCS, when I heard him playing the piano in the music room on base. We quickly became close friends and stayed in touch over the years, despite our careers taking us in different directions. He introduced me to Jim Brickman and we had many wonderful chats about his music. I loved when David played the piano for me. I feel terrible that we hadn't been in touch since last spring. I will always be grateful for the wonderful times that we shared and he will always hold a special place in my heart.
I will keep his family in my thoughts and prayers.

In shock...... David will ALWAYS hold a very special place in my heart. My deepest condolences.

Shock is the only word I can use right now to describe how I am feeling. Our paths took us in two different directions in life with occasional phone calls or text messages. We only recently last spring started ramping up our conversations with a scheduled meet in Vermont in January. I knew there had to be a good reason why my messages remained unanswered. The next camping trip or fishing trip will be in your memory my old high school friend. I will miss you and will hold on to those memories around the campfire remembering our solutions to the world´s problems. Till we meet again. Fly with the angels my friend.

David biew,
Grief can be so hard, but our special memories help us cope. Remembering you and your loved one today and always...imiss you so much biew you always in my heart and i will never forget

David was kind, thoughtful, and one of the best people I've ever known. We met through taekwondo about six years ago. We have talked everyday since then and became one of my best friends. Rest in paradise David, we will miss you everyday.

David, our paths met one another and became intertwined during your time in Oceana and while deployed. We laughed and cried, discussed life, enjoyed Jim Brickman, our love of the piano, and even talked about sharing a life together. May the angels guide your way Kant, you will always be loved and cherished for the treasure you are.

I was very sad to hear of David´s passing. I flew with him quite often and always enjoyed our trips together. He had a kind soul and we will all miss him dearly. My condolences to his family.

Dave and I flew together at Jetblue. We shared a lot of time, meals, laughs and love of flying together. Dave was always a pleasure to talk with, very smart and caring. My sincere condolences to all his family and friends. Dave will be flying with us in our hearts at Jetblue and the many other aviators he trained. We will all carry his memory and love forward.

Thanks David for your service. We met each other once in Meridian while on training. Godspeed to to you LCDR READE.

I used to fly with Dave at Jetblue. Always enjoyed his company. He had a good heart.

Life will never be the same without you, boat. You'll always be the love of Dinny's life & my wonderful bonus dad! We love & miss you more than words can say. Please continue to watch over us.

I am so sorry for your loss. My family lived next to David and we enjoyed stories he would share about his travels and he shared with us his passion for building and collecting legos. On quiet days when the windows were open you could hear David playing his music. May he rest in peace and forever fly above the clouds he so enjoyed.
