David Brandon Sechrest

Dear Sechrests,
I just began thinking about David and the impact he had on so many lives when he was in school. I know it's been a few years since the tragic accident, but I would like to say that I'm sorry for the loss that you have suffered, but I know he still touches lives. Not as a fellow student and friend, but as an angel. Watching over you, and everyone else he loved. He will forever be in my thoughts, and you will forever be in my prayers.
Sincerely, a friend.

I have only recently found out of Davids death and would like to extend my deepest sorrow. I have had the honor of playing golf with him in the past and can honestly say he has helped my game as well. I know he was a good guy and will be missed dearly.

I'm sorry for your loss, Sechrests. I spent a lot of countless times being stuck at home and would walk up to the golf course up the street to find David. He was a great guy and we all miss him. I miss his golfer-hugs and that grin he always had but I know he wouldn't want us to cry because he was gone, but to be happy that he made a great impact on us. When he saw me not smiling, he'd force me to smile and I know if he would have saw the face I had on Sept23 he would have attacked me with tickling and goofy inside jokes we had. He was a wonderful guy.

To the Sechrest family I am so sorry for your loss. David was a very special young man. I will remember him and his sense of humor always and his kindness to both of my daughters. I will always remember his cute little grin even back from pre-school. My daughter Jessica has known him since pre-school and we all think of him everyday and we continue to lift you all up in prayer. love Sheila Nance & family

Sechrest family,

I'm very sorry for your loss.Loosing a loved one is never easy,remember that God has not forgotten you. Now more than ever remember James 4:8

Your son was a friend to many. He is and will continue to be missed. This tragedy has affected those who knew him and will forever see his smile and many whom didn't know him. My prayers are with the family and the many special friends he had. He will be forever remembered.

To the Sechrest Family:
We want to send you our sympathy during this time. It is so hard to lose someone that you love. All of you are in our prayers. May God give you the strength for each day.
Walker and Cindy Cantrell
Psalm 121:1&2

The Sechrest Family,
I am truly sorry for your loss,I never really met David but i was in Band with him. He is a really great guy and has made a possitive impact on me and i would like for ya'll to know that you're in my prayers.

The Sechrest family:
I am a student from Rockingham, even though i hardly knew youre son, this week has been unbelievably hard for me. I couldnt even imagine how you must be feeling, just know that even though David is no longer with us he is still loved and missed at our school. I saw your family Tuesday and Wednsday, please know we are all supporting you at this time and we are there for you at anytime you need us. David was special to us all even if we werent close friends. God has proven to us that he only takes the best and even though we may not understand, he has a reason for taking David from us. So stay strong and remember that David will be greatly missed.

Johnny & Pat,
I am very sorry to hear about your son. I know that I haven't seen ya'll in a while, but I have been praying for you to have strenght in the Lord, to get you through all of this. You all will be in my prayers. Take care!

Pat,
I remember all our conversations this summer, as we supported our sons on the golf course and listened to their golf dreams and goals...you.... walking hole to hole, me...waiting on 9 and 18. The last tournament in September,when David and Dana were playing side by side is most memorable. I can see your smile as you told me how you would never miss a round. You supported David and Dana as they played that day..you cheered for my son as well as your own.....My heart breaks for you and your family and I can only imagine that your heart is shattered. David was always so friendly...and Dana so enjoyed being paired up with him. You saw every round, every hole, every second you spent on the course can be cherished close to your heart. You WERE there. And yet, I know..this isn't enough...you weren't finished watching him. I am so sorry that God had this in His plan..we grieve with you, we pray daily, we will miss David. Dana has been profoundly affected by this news and he prays daily too.

Our thoughts and prayers are with you in your time of grief. May your memories bring you comfort. Robert has played with David iin the past, and will miss him.

Dear Sechrest Family:
I can't believe "Moy" (David's Spanish name) is gone. I was his Spanish teacher in his sophomore year and he always made my day. God bless you and help you through this time.

Johnny,Pat,Kelly and Aunt Mildred
I share your grief and my thoughts and prayers are with you.

i dont know you, or your family but i do know how it feels to lose a loved one. Almost a year ago i lost one of my best friends who was sweet and well-mannered and a good christian teen who had his whole life to live. When he died I could not find out why, he was the last person that deserved to die. But his death brought a lot of people together and showed many people the way to Christ. I know that losing a friend is nothing compared to losing a family member or a son. But I just wanted you to know that you will get through the hard times and God will make this terrible accident into something great. You are in my prayers.--

Kelly was the perfect maid of honor in my daughter Katherine's wedding this summer. I am so sorry to hear about this and my prayer is that God will comfort you and give you strength in the coming days. May all of the beautiful memories that you have with David be a constant source of pride, happiness and comfort as you face the future. My prayers are with you.
Blessings,
Nancy and Joe Carson

Mr. and Mrs. Sechrest,
Our families prayers are with you. David was an amazing friend for Parker. They'll look forward to playing golf again in heaven.

Dear Sechrest family,
I'm so sorry for the loss of David. I know this is really hard for you, but just know that David is in a better place now, and is looking over you. I'm sure God is honored to have David up there with him.

Take care, and I hope you find the strength you need.

God Bless.<3

Dear Sechrest Family,
We were saddened to learn of the passing of your son (and brother). When we saw his picture on the news, I saw his resemblance to you, John. We pray you will be comforted by God, and we know you are trusting Him to take you through this. (I used to work with you, John, at Zarn 20 years ago.)

My Dearest & Precious Pat, John and Kelly,

I will forever see David in the sun, the moon, and the stars each day & night. I have the most incredible cherished memories. David and Kelly are the glory in my life. Thank you Pat and Johnnie for giving me such a wonderful blessing. ANYTHING you ever need Pat, John, and Kelly; I am there.

As you both know, David was one of my best friends. this weekend will be the first one in a long time that "the crew" won't be together. I loved David with all of my heart and always will. He loved you both very, very much and I hope you will always remember that. I wouldn't trade my time spent with him for anything in this world. He's watching over us now. If you need anything at all, don't hesitate to call.

David was such a great guy he always treated people with respect and cared about them. I have known him since elementry school and was in band with him from 6th grade till 10th. I remember alot of fun times with him in band either just hearing him tell us something funny and making us blast out laughing or just being david or seeing how much he cared. He will always live on in my memory and my heart and never be forgotten. I am sure he is up in heaven right now looking down on us. He will be missed but never forgotten.

Dear Mr. && Mrs. Sechrest
I can not even express how much sympathy i fell for you two. Losing David has stunned the school && we all are crushed, so i can't even imagine how the loss of a child feels. You two are in my prayers. Thinking of David not coming to school anymore hurts so bad. You raised a wonderful young man, you guys did an outstanding job. The only thing that gives me comfort is know that David is in a better place. Atleast we know the angels will be playing golf, because David sure will.

GOD bless you.

The loss of someone so close is difficult to bear, especially for a mother. John Hopkins introduced my daughter to David a few years ago and we all went out to dinner. He was so well-mannered, a likable,nice young man. I know there are no words to say at a time like this, I only wanted to say we are so sorry, David will be greatly missed. Pat, you and your family are in our thoughts and prayers. GOD bless you.

Pat Fargis and Brittney Stokes

Maybe somewhere down the road, we could get together and talk. grace and peace,
Marlene Rumley Bray

David was in my favorite class my first year of teaching. He was a sunny spot in my day and I never knew what was going to happen next. David, I will never forget you because you will forever be part of very important and memorable year in my life.
