Hey bro I have been thinking a lot about you lately. I feel this is the only way I can talk to you. I'm about to take a big step in moving to Texas. I want to just get away from everything and turn my life around in the right direction the same way you did when you went to truck driving school. you did the right thing and it has inspired me to do the same. throw me a rope if you're up there and can hear my prayers I love you and I miss you David love your uncle Wayne.

I miss you so much big brother. I know you are with Mom looking down on me, and you can both feel free to visit whenever you want. Just be sure to let me know you were here. I will miss your calls from the road, and the picture messages of what you got to see. I will miss so much more than that, but mostly I will just miss you. I love you so much. -Your little sis, Cari Ann

As your father, from the day you were born,I've loved you instantly. From my name sake,and even from watching you grow,you was my pride and joy. I will never get over loosing you. My memories keep pouring in ,things I thought I had forgotten are now plain as day. A piece of me went with you.You made me proud,you were the leader and I knew you would be there for your brothers and sisters,and for me. And threw all of the tough times , I was so happy and proud of you for finding your way,and that you was happy with your life. Know that I love you,and my heart will stay heavy for the rest of my days. I don't know how my life will be without you in it. I love you,my son ,always and forever

To our son,how do we say goodbye.We don't,we say we will see you again in a blink in heavens eye.Seems like an eternity on earth.From both of our hearts,as your stepmother (Mom) I was blessed to have you as my son and to watch you grow to a man,a father,and the wonderful big brother to your siblings. I will miss you ,seeing you ,receiving your calls just even to hear you say I love you and miss you mom. There's no easy way to get through this,but it was truly a honor to be your stepmother and have you in my life. I love you.

I will forever miss the person I knew, we may not have been in touch much in the past couple years but in the time I had to know him he helped me find my path, I never thought one of my tattoos would be a reminder but I'm glad I have it to always remember him by.

David we spent so much time together! Hide & seek, ghost stories, scary movies & my most memorable moment how handsome u looked when you escorted me to prom and how happy our parents looked when we were all dressed up! I'll never forget your face on those roller coasters! I love you very much. When your up there, give my baby girl a big kiss for me! Love you! R.I.P!
