Dave was the best friend one could ever ask for and those who had the honor of being Dave's friend would have a true friend indeed - one who was fiercely loyal.

Dave had a Heart of Gold and was tons of fun and laughter to be around - just the best.

Rest in Peace, Dave

Your Friend Always, Glenn Weakland

I am so very sad to hear about Dave's accident and death. I was lucky in life to have known him and had him as part of our family. He was an additional brother to my brother, Glenn, and like a son to my parents, Rob and Alma. He will be missed always.
