David K. Brown is my uncle and is one of the most memorable characters of my early life. He lived life with relish and made all those around him feel welcome and cared for. Some people make a very large impact with their lives. My Uncle Dave was one of those people. God bless.

I cannot say how sorry we are for the loss of your Dad. I will always be grateful for him picking up Bob to attend the Korean breakfasts. Both he and your mom were the sweetest people and every time I think of him I can only see his smiling face. They are together again. I know you have many fond memories and will hold them dear in your hearts forever.

Dear Cherie, Lisa, and families:
I am so sad to hear of Dave's passing. He was such a sweet man, and and had a warm, patient, and kind disposition about him. The last time I saw Dave was at my Mother's birthday party a few years ago. He will be missed, and will be in my heart always. Take care, and please know that I am thinking of you. Love,
