David gave me my start in the car business 8 years ago. He was a good man to work for. I just saw him 2 months ago, and spent about an hour chatting about old times at Honda. I wish his family the best in this sad situation. I wish I could have known sooner, to pay my respects to someone I admire. May he rest in peace.

I worked for David several years of my thirteen years in the auto industry. He was one of the best men I've ever worked for. He could be hard on you at times, but it was because he wanted you to succeed. David had such a big heart, and on a personal level he was a good listener and always had great advice to give. This is such a loss to anyone that knew David. He will be greatly missed and may he rest in peace.

I have come to know many people in my life, but few have had such an impact as David Churn. I will always remember the times you put a smile on my face and a caring pat on my back. You will always have a special place in my heart.

Thanks for all the memories, and may you rest in peace

God Bless

We are so sorry to hear of the loss of such a wonderful man. We were neighbors long ago and when ever we needed advice to purchase a car he was the man to call. He sold plenty of autos to our family and his friendliness and charm was a plus. We know he will be greatly missed and he is in our hearts forever.

Michael and Michelle,
You guys are in my thoughts and prayers. I shared a lot of good times and a few tears over the years with David. I only wish there was some way I could be there with you at this time. May God grant you peace and comfort at this time.

Michael, Colleen and Michelle I send you my deepest condolences for the loss of your father. He was a wonderful and great man. I cannot find the words to properly describe what your father meant to my family, friends and me. He was my best freind and confidant. He had a sixth sense and new exactly when to call me. I will treasure him in my heart forever as well as the wonderful memories of all the times and conversations we shared.

God Bless you David rest in peace and remember I will always love you...

David was probably the most generous and kind soul I have ever had the pleasure of knowing. He will be truly missed. My thoughts and prayers go out to his family.

David was my GSM at Benson Honda from 1998-2003. We shared a lot of funny stories together.

If you worked for David he always demanded your all. Ultimately, he was the fairest man I ever worked for. When I first met him, his sales manager would not let me apply for a sales job. I approached David as he was leaving on a business trip and quickly told him who I was. He stopped, dropped his briefcase and led me back to his sales manager and told him to hire me on the spot. He was an awesome individual and he will be missed.
