I cannot believe this. He was such a great friend and I will always hold a special place in my heart for David. I had so many great times with him. My favorite thing was to hear him sing. I haven't seen him or his family in years, but I am still very broken hearted that he is gone.

I lost my brother 6 yrs ago, (reminiscing the time my brother, Roy Jr. came to get me when when Neil, Ebben, David all lived in SE with his granny & David answering the door saying, go on up :-) those were the days! I know he will be sorely missed by so many....my thoughts & prayers are with you all.

To Ebben and family, We are so sorry to hear of Dave's passing. I remember the first time i met David i must of been about 12 years old, his humor and love for his family is what stands out to me the most about him. i just spoke with him in December, he was full of jokes and laughter then along with him singing some silly song in the back ground. He loved life from what i knew of him and "fun" was definitely a daily priority. I understand how hard this is for you all, when we lost our son last year i wasn't sure how we would be able to move on, but God stepped in and has walked us through it all. i pray that you find peace and comfort knowing he is with God and all his beautiful angels!!! Remember his spirit is always alive and right next to you ( just a heart beat away.) i have always admired your family because you all stick together for one another, that is so rare sometimes in this world today! with all our love, Kala , Jade, Marla, Layla, Stella and Elijah Moock- Mundy

I am so very sorry for your loss. I was great friends with David back in Jackson. We always laughed because we had the same birthday (but he was older). He was a very special person and will be missed. I pray GOD will comfort you in the days ahead.
