My condolences to David’s family, my heart goes out to you along with my prayers of comfort for your loss. In reading some of the comments, I see that David was well thought of and will be greatly missed. This is a testament to the man he became. I didn’t have the opportunity to see the man and women that David and Halley became, David was but an infant and Halley just a toddler when I last seen them. While I was just the next door neighbor, I have thought about the family over the passing years wondering how everything turned out.

My brother was truely a simple man. He was happy with the clothes on his back, the boots on his feet, and his family and friends in his heart. When he first moved in with me I offered to get him a bed but he declined, Insted he he grabbed my sleeping bag and said "this is way better than the one I had over sea's. I wish I would have had it then" lol If there was a line for life/happieness he always put him self last cause all he wanted was for the people around him to smile and be happy. I have met or talked to a single person that met my brother that wasnt touched by him. He as an amazing brother, amazing son, amazing friend, and overall amazing person. So on monday when we all say goodbye, lets not morne his death..........LET ALL STAND TALL, STAND TOGETHER, AND CLEBRATE HIS LIFE AND OUR LIVES.

RIP David Sean Dufek Jr.

I got the chance to work side by side with Jr here at the Law Office. Since day one, Jr was full of happiness, sincere, funny, and full of life. David, Jr..you will be missed by all of us here. I will miss seeing you dance to the office music, whether it was rock (yuk), R&B, hip hop, country...you knew them all. Sorry buddy...we never had the "after work drink".....but I'm ok with knowing that you are smiling down on everyone. My heart goes out to the Dufek Family.

David was a friend to alot of us in the North Country. I was lucky to know him and be his jujitsu teacher for a short time. We were all proud that he served our country. He will be missed. Very sad, I wish I could have seen him at least one more time to tell him how proud I will always be of him. Greg Williams
