Uncle Dave was a wonderful man who had a smile that would light up the whole room. He will be sorely missed. My thoughts are with his family.

Uncle Dave was not only a kind and honest man, he was one who instilled those traits within his family. He became part of the Meeks clan when he met and married Aunt Katie. I don't think I had ever seen her that happy. After Aunt Katie's passing, Dave met and married Donna. Now she is a part of the Meeks Clan too. Thank you Donna for being there for Uncle Dave. Our prayers are with you and the Girls.

To all of Dave's family,

I've known dave since his days at Coker Ewing. I most recently would see him in the mornings after he went to the gym and would stop at The Perfect Blend to pickup a cup of coffee. He was one of the kindest, ethical people I ever met. He loved his family more than anything else and spoke of all of you always. We were all very lucky to have known him.

My thoughts and prayers are with all of you at this time.
Always,
Honey Winter
