My name is Kyndy Boyle and I met David in 2013 when I decided to open a private practice in Boone and rented space in the Boone Healing Arts Center. I found David to be incredibly kind and intelligent. He was always looking for ways to create business services to benefit people. He wanted the Boone Healing Arts center to allow practitioners in different disciplines to work together under one roof with the benefits of shared staffing and shared marketing. During our meetings I found him to be very creative and supportive. After I left to seek a larger space that would accommodate a talking practitioner (vs. being quiet like massage therapist there) he ended up giving me a laser. This was incredibly thoughtful and generous. I have used it 5 days a week, 4 weeks a month ever since!! He gave my husband and I a ride in his Tesla after getting it. Such fun we had! I last saw him at Bryan Estates in his room there and he was still thinking about ways to hook me up with residents there who would benefit from my PT skills. I regret that I did not get to say good bye to him. He was a truly special person. I also regret that his obituary did not include more details about his life such as his career, flight school he owned, BHAC or any other meaningful details where the reader would be able to learn more about this incredible mans life. I wish you to the best dear David. I personally was fond of you and will miss you.
