My baby brother, I haven´t had the strength to bring myself to say goodbye. I don´t know that I ever will. You meant so very much to me and to anyone that was fortune enough to truly know you. Weeks have passed and I still can´t bring myself to believe this is real. You are forever in my heart. I have been so very blessed to have the honor of calling you my brother. May you rest in peace and know your memory will live on in your beautiful little girl. She has you watching over her and keeping her safe.

Until we meet again our sweet guardian angel.

I give my condolences to all of David's family especially his daughter. I've known David throughout school at Cocalico and went to Brownstown tech school with him in woodworking. He was always chill to hang with. Many prayers to all his family. You will be missed my friend.
