Our deepest sympathy and condolences to the family of David and his brother and sisters. It is amazing how quickly time passes. My dad told me how many people came to honor David and to support the family. I remember him as a happy, lively young man who brought happiness and laughter to everyone who knew him. I can only pray that he will bring happiness and laughter to the angels now.

Charlene, David and Carissa - I wanted to tell you guys I'm very sorry for the loss of Dave. He was a very great guy and would do anything for anyone. He will be greatly missed, never forgotten, and loved forever. We will miss him dressing up for Santa every year for our kids, but our kids will never forget him either. They loved him to pieces. We will keep him in our memories! You guys will always be part of our family, and welcome over anytime. Take care and God Bless. R.I.P. Dave, we love you and miss you greatly!!!
