I felt so bad to see that Dave is gone. I have very fond memories of attending the USC/Fresno State game with him and was looking forward to the upcoming Nevada Reno/Fresno State game. I will miss him alot, although I know he will be there with me in spirit. Go Bulldogs!

I was very saddened and shocked to hear that Dave had passed away, and at such a young age. Whenever I would see Dave he was always so pleasant and kind. He will most certainly be missed.

I breaks my heart to have lost my friend Dave. It was an honor to call him my friend and be included in the "weekend brunch bunch". He was a quiet soul with a big heart and his absence in our lives will be felt for a very long time. May God bless you and keep you safe.

I am so sad. Dave was a huge part of my life, my dear friend and my guardian angel. We have lost a wonderful and gentle soul. A lot of the best times I've had in my life were with Dave. My friends and family loved him. What we have lost, Heaven has gained. You will remain in our hearts and prayers forever.

When I read today's obituaries, I was saddened to see that Dave had passed away at such a young age. I knew Dave for several years from Marie Callendars restaurant. Faith, my heart is heavy for you, knowing you lost your only child. Dave always spoke of you with the highest regard and honor. I'm sending my love and condolences.
