I will miss my childhood HERO and best friend. David was the type to do anything to help anyone,He would,without a doubt give you the shirt off his back.I know as he did me more than once, while i was teenager and even as a young adult. David taught me a lot ,one was to always look for the good in folks. I know how David loved his family very much and the only thing i can find any joy in at this moment is that Dave is with his Mom,who all that knew him knows how much love was between them,and his Dad who he admired and loved. David i know you are probably reading this now and i want to tell you how much i too will regret the fact that you left us earlier than most would have thought but God has his plans and i will look forward to the time i can again share some laughs with you. Love always,brother-n-law forever,Paul Luke .

This is such a heart breaking time for everyone who knew David. I pray that the family will stay strong and that the Lord will bless each and every member.
I keep thinking of David calling me Ruby Begonia when I would come to the station or he would come and visit Carl
