Dear Forrest, Carla, & Cameron:
Hearing of David's passing came as news of shock, then expressions of sadness. Words couldn't suffice the grief felt in my heart for you and your family.
David was such a fine young man and am glad I had the opportunity to meet such a promising Native who believed in doing exploits. His smile could be seen for miles and had such a presence about him when he entered a room. Please accept my condolences.
My thoughts and prayers are with you in your time of grief and in the days to come. May your memories of David bring you comfort.

Mique Forrest & Carla,
Well, I never got the chance to know who David was but through my cousin I know to her, he was a good friend a good person to be around. Although I probably won't know what it is like to lose a child, but i do however know what it's like to lose a sibling; Cameron, things like these will take a very long time to heal, I'm still trying to heal after losing my sister Mabel, but it is best to think of the good times you had together. Remembering is best, even if it brings you to tears, crying does the soul good, don't hold it back.
I know one day we'll all see each other again at the happy hunting grounds so until then:
Poonee kay vatsoom ardtuih!!!

I was out of town and just learned of David's untimely death. I am shocked and saddened. David was a wonderful young man with so much potential. He was a wonderful advocate for the Utah IDA program and donated his time and support to help others. I am honored to have known him. My prayers and thoughts are with you.

Our hearts ache at the news of David's passing. It has been so long since we have connected with each other, but we continue to treasure your friendship and the time spent together. David touched our lives as he surely has touched the lives of countless others. Know that you are in our hearts and prayers especially at this difficult time.
I give you this one thought to keep -
I am with you still - I do not sleep.
I am a thousand winds that blow,
I am the diamond glints on snow,
I am the sunlight on ripened grain,
I am the gentle autumn rain.
When you awaken in the morning's hush,
I am the swift, uplifting rush
of quiet birds in circled flight.
I am the soft stars that shine at night.
Do not think of me as gone -
I am with you still - in each new dawn

Dear Forrest and Carla, I work with Eileen Quintana in the Title VII program. I have met you a few times and had the opportunity to meet David and hear him speak to our students in Nebo District. I could tell he was an exceptional young man by the spirit he had with him.
I lost my 14 year old son 2 1/2 years ago in a sudden accident. I am so sorry for the pain and loss you are experiencing as the shock of David's sudden departure from this world is upon you. He was a wonderful young man and to know you will be with him again is a wonderful gift.
My heart goes out to you through the coming time as you grieve and celebrate David's life.

Dear Forrest, Carla and Cameron,
There are no words to express our shock and sorrow at the news about David. We wish we could be there in person to express our sympathy. I hope the following words might bring you some small comfort at this time;
DO NOT STAND AT MY GRAVE AND WEEP
Do not stand at my grave and weep
I am not there; I do not sleep.
I am a thousand winds that blow,
I am the diamond glints on snow,
I am the sun on ripened grain,
I am the gentle autumn rain.
When you awaken in the morning's hush
I am the swift uplifting rush
Of quiet birds in circled flight.
I am the soft stars that shine at night.
Do not stand at my grave and cry,
I am not there; I did not die.
Blessings and Love,

James and Kandeece, You are both in my prayers as well as David's family that I do not know in person, but I feel them in Spirit. May you all find comfort during this difficult time. Peace Be with You.

Ya'at'eeh Carla, Forrest and Cameron
I can not imagine the depth of your sorrow, for I have
never lost a child that I watched grow into a warrior. You
carried your sweet beautiful boy in your arms and taught
him all the lessons in life to keep him safe, you watched
as his mind grasped the wonder of the world around him,
you watched as he grew into the young powerful warrior
that he became, with all of his dreams hopes and plans to
help his people. He was not only a dreamer, he was a doer!
He touched so many lives, I still have him on video
talking to my students a couple of summers ago when we had
him come to motivate them. I will send you a copy.
I am so sorry Forrest and Carla, words cannot express the
emotions that we all feel with you. Know that our prayers
and love are with you. At a time like this, sometimes the comfort that us "fingered ones" give cannot take the pain away, you need to pray to Creator, even when you cannot form the words you want to say, it will be understood. Moans and weeping carry many words that we may not fully understand, but Mother Earth and Father Sky, your beautiful mountains that surround you, your brave ancestors, whose spirits dwell within the canyons, along the rivers and under the trees will understand your pain, they will wrap their arms of compassion around you, and you will feel it.
With love and prayers, Richard & Eileen Quintana and family

Friends and Neighbors,
Having spoken to David several times last week, including Monday night for 20 minutes or so in our front yards, it is hard to process what has happened. David was very gracious in complimenting me on our home improvement efforts. He was always polite and very friendly. We will miss him and are so sorry for you. If you need anything, we are right next door.

My heart breaks for you. I loved David and have his memory as someone who always made me laugh with his Manny impersonations, teasing Roisin and Amera and making me watch What's Love Got to do with it? about five times. I will never forget him and I wish so much that there was something I could say to you to comfort you in this great loss. Know the love and pride you had in David can never be lost, and he will always be alive in you.
With love from Elaine and Joel, Roisin and Aislinn

David will be greatly missed by all who knew him. It was an honor to Sundance beside David on his first dance. I'll always remember that special time. I will be unable to make it to the services, but you all are in my prayers. I'll burn some cedar and sing a sundance song for David tonight. May the Creator give you all the strenght during this time. "The Circle of Life Continues" To all my Relations...
