A really great guy. Friend and fellow motorcycle rider with other LTD riders. Always positive and fun to be around. Intellectual. We will truly miss him.

My love and prayers go to my aunt Sue, my cousins and family. My uncle David, who I was named after, will always have a special place in my heart. The conversations we had and advise he gave me will always be cherished. I always enjoyed speaking with him about anything that would pop into my head. Unfortunately I feel I didn't spend enough time with him but I will always love him. I will never forget you my uncle David. You will always be in my thoughts. My heart will always have a special place in it for you and someday down the road our spirits will meet again and we will continue to have our great conversations that I always loved and cherished. Rest in peace. I love you
