I only met David once and knew of him through a friend, but felt like I knew him over a life time. His wit and intelligence made a terrific impact and a great impression. Not many people have that kind of gift. Blessings and prayers to the family and close friends.

Friends & Family of David Abrami,

I knew David many, many years ago, in high school. He was always really sweet & fun! He always made me laugh, & there were times when he intentionally went out of his way just to see me smile. I will always remember him as an intelligent & interesting person who I looked forward to seeing & talking with! It is incredibly sad to think that someone with so much love & laughter will no longer be among us to share his light. I would like to express my heart-felt sympathy to his close friends and family. Though I didn't know David as well as you, what I knew of him... will be greatly missed.

To the Abrami Family,
What a great reflection on you has David's life been. Wendy and I are just simply heartbroken. Yet, we are so fortunate to have had David over recently and will cherish the memory of his wit, laugh, counsel, and certainly his sense of fashion! We will miss David and cannot begin to comprehend the sorrow that this family must endure. We love you because David loved us. We have lost an earthly partner but have gained a heavenly brother. God Bless the Abrami family.

David, my friend...

You will be sadly missed. I have known you over 25 years now (since we became friends in the fifth grade). We were in Scouts together, went scuba diving, camping, and had many, many memorable times. In the past year after you moved back to Orlando, we've gotten to know each other again. I'm glad for the fun times we had recently... and the good times we reminisced upon.

I will miss you and always remember you.

Your friend,

Karl

To the Abrami Family... I'm so sorry for the loss of your beloved son. He was one of my true, long-time friends, and I will always cherish his friendship.

Dear Fran
Just wanted you to know that I'm thinking of you and my prayers are with you and your family. I'm not sure if you remember me from the Royal Plaza and you might remember that I lost my daughter at a young age and although the circumstances are different I want to let you know I understand how hard this is for you and your family. I'm so sorry to hear about the loss of your son and if there is anything I can do, please let me know and you can reach me at 407-851-7721.
My thoughts are with you, Helen

To the Abrami family:

I am so deeply grieved by the loss of David, but I hold on to the hope of resurrection that Jesus has promised us. We will see David again. This life is not the end of the story.

I know David from when he attended Orangewood Church and saw him again recently when he returned to Orlando. You have a son and brother and uncle you can be so proud of. His integrity, love for adventure, care for people and passion for life are things I will remember and celebrate about him.

I am praying for your comfort in this sad time.

My heartfelt sympathy goes out to David's family on his untimely passing. I was his secretary when he was a summer associate at Powell Goldstein. He was very warm and friendly, and I enjoyed getting to know him and was so happy that he returned to the firm after he served as a law clerk in Alabama. I, too, enjoyed talking politics with David. My prayers are with his family and his close friends.

My wife and I extend our deepest sympathies to David's family. David has been a part of the Buak memory since childhood when I was proud to serve as his Scoutmaster. We have watched as David has grown to become an outstanding young attorney with a zest for life. We will be forever grateful that David spent time at our cabin in the north GA mountains shortly before moving back to Florida. My wife will never forget her last wild ride in David's car with the top down and the wind howling. His laughter can still be heard in the mountains of north Georgia. He will be missed.

My deepest sympathy goes out to the Abrami family for the loss of David. I worked with David at Disney during the late-1980's and spent much time with him and his high school friends outside of work. I always thought of him as a good, dependable friend, who I enjoyed talking about politics with. He'll be missed.

Martha and I are shocked and saddened beyond belief at the death of our friend, David, who was my law clerk 6 years ago. He accepted Martha's invitation to a party on September 8, 2007, to celebrate my 25th year on the bench. All of my former law clerks were invited. We will miss David at that event, and I will certainly miss his periodic telephone calls. While he was my law clerk, he was like family to us. We sympathize with his family and friends for their loss. It is also our loss.

Having attended law school with David, I know what a talented, bright and energetic person the world has lost. I offer my sincere sympathies and will certainly continue to include you in my prayers. David was a good person who, I am sure, made you all very proud.

To the Abrami Family,
My thoughts and prayers are with you all during this time of loss and reflection. David was a colleague and friend. I always lit up when he would call or I would spot him across the room. I knew that his company would lift my spirits. I loved to be regaled by his adventures and stories, and enjoyed sharing philosophies and thoughts – he had a gift for conversation and I will miss those conversations very much. While our political and spiritual beliefs were quite different, he was always so respectful and thoughtful of the views, beliefs, and spirituality of others. That was a sign of his true integrity. As I am sure all of David’s friends and family have done, I too have reflected over his life and our friendship since I heard of his passing. He will be remembered and missed, but never forgotten. He left a positive mark on lives around the world, including mine.

To David's Family,

David and I, like many of his friends, knew each other for well over 20 years. And during that time David was forever positive about his future and the relationships he cultivated with his friends and families. In remembering David last weekend I pulled out a picture of the two of us camping in Tennessee, he was proably about 14 at the time, and he had the same mischievous smile I saw him wear not a week before his death. That afternoon he was enjoying the company of his friends and didn't seem to have a care in the world. We will all miss him greatly.

My deepest sympathy to the Abrami family. I worked with David when he was a law clerk for Judge Acker in Birmingham. He was planning on attending a law clerk reunion on Sept. 8 and Judge Acker and his wife, and I were so looking forward to seeing him. He will be dearly missed.

To the David Abrami Family:
I have only known David for about ten yrs. He was a fine young man; always a joy to be around. My prayers go out to all of you. Remember the good times that you have enjoyed with him. My deepest heartfelt sympathy is extended to each of you at this time.

To the Abrami Family,
My heart and sympathy go out to you in this time of grief. I knew David from high school and found him an outstanding student and person. I was taling to him recently (August 14, 2007) about becoming an officer in the U.S. Army and he was looking forward to our dinner when he came back from his trip. I know that the U.S. Armed Forces lost an outstanding prospect in him. May God Bless you and David-Lt. Colonel Robert A. Lynn, Florida Guard
