David, you were a true light at RCDSS and your silliness, humor, smile and good heart will be missed deeply. You were a true friend indeed and a wonderful coworker, who went above and beyond for the clients we serve and was always willing to lend a helping hand. May God bless and keep your family during this time. Rest now friend! Brandy

Where do I start? There is so much I remember about Mr. David and all the memories made when I worked at DSS. I remember the funny jokes he would tell me just to make me laugh on my bad days, his kindness and the big smile that went along with that big heart of his. I remember how he talked about his wife (his soulmate) and the rock band he played in along with his band members. May GOD comfort his family, friends and co-workers in this great time of loss. RCDSS will never be the same without you friend!

My heart goes out to David´s family, friends and coworkers at DSS. David was a very special person that brought a lot of joy and laughter to all he came in contact with. He always had a smile on his face and you had one on yours once the conversation was over. He had a heart of gold. I had the opportunity to work with him at DSS for a number of years and he was a very dear friend and devoted worker. DSS has lost a gem. He will forever be missed. Prayers going up for continued strength and peace, for the coming days without his presence, to all that loved him and long for the day to see him again!
