I did not know David had passed. I found out because of another death. I am so sorry to hear about it. David was a great guy. I've been hearing his name or seeing his face since my childhood. I haven't seen him much in the past few years. The last time was on Chatham Street about 3 yrs ago. My thoughts and prayers go out to his family and friends. RIP David!!

We are so saddened by David's passing. We got to know David on a trip to the FL Keys a couple of years ago....he was so nice and so much fun! Sending our prayers to Rita and David's family.

My prayers and love go to the Husketh family and also to the many friends who have suffered a great loss. David became my pal in 1968 when I moved to Cary. I left the Cary area 25 years ago, but we stayed in regular contact. We met again this summer only for a couple of hours, but it was just like '68. I know we will meet again; until then David will be in the hearts of his family and lots of friends. I'm really sorry I was not able to be with y'all in person today.

I was so sad to hear of David's passing. I have many memories of him with the whole Cary crowd. I think the thing I will always remember is his big smile. He always greeted with a smile and a hug. I know his family is so sad they have lost him. Wishing all his family and friends peace and comfort. I know he will truly be missed by all that knew him. Rest in peace David.

David has been in my life, in one form or another, since I was 9 years old. From go-carts for Christmas to showing my daughter her first Harley, he taught me about finding the fun in life and making the best of what's around. He taught me about not believing I was too good to work hard and about walking humbly with our struggles before the Lord. I always knew he was proud of me and that, no matter what the circumstances were, he was in my corner if I ever really needed him to be. Rest in peace Daddy Dave, you will be missed.

David was one of a kind! He was like a brother to me, Cathy and Wayne and like a son to Hazel. Fred loved to pick on David, he was such a part of our family.

I will miss you Kink!

My exposure to David was via his many friends, one of which was my brother Joey. He often spoke of one of those magical memories he had of David. It seems David wanted to exhibit his skill in motorcycle riding. So, he proceeded to do a ' wheelie ' and continue on one wheel from Ashworth's to the Jr High. The crowd that was there WENT WILD !!! Another Cary Legend was born.....prayers of comfort to the LEGEND'S FAMILY.....
