My sincere condolences to Teresa and all of David's family. He was such a kind and loving humble man. I worked with David during my times with him with 17LRS. I will never forget you being a person that gave the Tennesse Titans their new name Tuxedos. Rest In Peace Mr. Sosa.

Jill and I had the great pleasure of getting to know David when Mark and Alison moved across the street from us in Mansfield. David and Teresa frequently visited over the years to see their kids and grandchildren. Being the very thoughtful person David is, I always remember him never forgetting to bring Jill and I our favorite Chips and Salsa from San Angelo. We are so blessed to get to know him and the Sosa family over the years! The Sosa family is in our thoughts and prayers!

Teresa and family,
My heart is with you at this time.
David was the best of the best. Thoughtful, caring, generous and I am sure he had so many other wonderful attributes I am not aware of. He is gone in body from this earth, but his spirit is present with our Lord as scripture says. I am sure you are left with a lot of memories that take you through good and bad times . Cherish them. May God give you the calm, peace and comfort your heart needs. Blessings, love and hugs.

Uncle David, was one of my wife's rock when my father in law was in the hospital. This meant so much to her, mom and brother. He was always smiling and sharing a laugh when we were all together. May the family find comfort.
