Memories and Condolences
for David Kubiak
March 7, 2010
David, Everday you enter my heart and spend time in my mind. The wonderful fellow who spoke at your going away day asked us to not call on you for long because you need to go on in your journey. Calling you is not what i do--you just arrive; free and without appointment.
Paige, Gunnar & Tilly feel you too.Of that i am sure.

David, you were our other favorite son. During Hi-sch & after, you & Michael were the best of friends. We remember your smile, that made us think that you knew something that we didn't know (or that you were up to somethin. Man, You were part of our family, along w/Chris. We grieve w/your fam., but know that you are w/us & around us every day. To the Kubiak Family: Know that we have loved David as Fam. As a family that has lost an adult son, we can understand the emptiness. Blessings to You All

The celebration of Dave's life was such a fitting and heartfelt event that I was so glad to have attended. Being a fellow classmate and "Rugheads" girl back in the day resulted in a special friendship between Dave and I.
Although I have become so busy in my own life of family, friends and work, work, work, Dave's celebration helped me to realize that the older that I get the more important the people in my past have become and the more precious my current family and friends are.
The presence of so many spoke of his character and likablity. Who could find fault with a smile like that?
It was so striking to me that Dave was not amongst us physically as we gathered to remember him and some of us took a little trip back in time in his honor. I am therefor so grateful that God created a place for us all to reunite in an eternal celebration with one another.
To Dave's family I pray that you allow God to carry you through this and comfort you as only He can. I can only imagine the heartbreak that you all feel. Blessings to you.

My deepest sympathy goes out to all of Dave's family and friends. He was such a huge influence in the fishing community, he will be deeply missed by all who knew him.

Go placidly amid the noise and the haste, and remember what peace there may be in silence. As far as possible, without surrender, be on good terms with all persons. Speak your truth quietly and clearly, and listen to others, even to the dull and the ignorant; they too have their story. Avoid loud and aggressive persons; they are vexatious to the spirit. If you compare yourself with others, you may become vain or bitter, for always there will be greater and lesser persons than yourself. Enjoy your achievements as well as your plans. Keep interested in your own career, however humble; it is a real possession in the changing fortunes of time. Exercise caution in your business affairs, for the world is full of trickery. But let this not blind you to what virtue there is; many persons strive for high ideals, and everywhere life is full of heroism. Be yourself. Especially do not feign affection. Neither be cynical about love, for in the face of all aridity and disenchantment, it is as perennial as the grass. Take kindly the counsel of the years, gracefully surrendering the things of youth. Nurture strength of spirit to shield you in sudden misfortune. But do not distress yourself with dark imaginings. Many fears are born of fatigue and loneliness. Beyond a wholesome discipline, be gentle with yourself. You are a child of the universe no less than the trees and the stars; you have a right to be here. And whether or not it is clear to you, no doubt the universe is unfolding as it should. Therefore, be at peace with God, whatever you conceive Him to be. And whatever your labors and aspirations, in the noisy confusion of life, keep peace in your soul. With all its sham, drudgery, and broken dreams, it is still a beautiful world. Be cheerful. Strive to be happy

Dear Diane & Don, It is difficult to tell you how deeply I feel about the loss of David. When there is love, any life is to short. He will be greatly missed. No person or experience will ever replace the happy days and love David gave you both. I know your courage will help you through these difficult times.
With Love, Your old friend Al

It is with a great deep sadness that I am sending my condolences to the Kubiak Family. I still say to myself, not Dave, not Dave Kubiak. Losing Dave is a huge loss... His family, his friends and the town of Morro Bay will miss him terribly. Morro Bay will not be the same without him. This tragedy is so unbelievable to me it’s very surreal. Dave was my boss, a mentor and a great friend and I will shout it out loud that "I LOVED THE HELL OUT OF THAT GUY"! Some of the best times of my life were spent with Dave. When I tell my children the stories of my youth they almost always include Dave Kubiak. He was a great man and his legacy in Morro Bay will go on forever. He was truly a lucky man. To be loved and remembered by so many speaks volumes of Dave’s heart and his character. He will be deeply missed. It is going to be pretty tough to get through this one that is for sure. This is such a great loss to so many people. I know that I will get through these sad times knowing that I will see you again my dear friend in a place where the "fishin's" always good. The entire Chapman Family sends their love and prayers to the Kubiak Family.
Your Good Friend, MAX

Just wanted to share a funny memory: Dave & Chris tried to trash can my best friend Elke & I our first day at MBHS. They were friends with Elke's brother, Lee Balgeman. The fun teasing continued after that. We visited them at the Skagerrak. We are so sorry for the families loss of such a nice guy.

Tears roll down my face as I sit here searching for words of encouragement and condolences to Paige and the entire Kubiak family. To say that David's death was a tragedy would be the understatement of all time. David never considered himself a Big Shot.. But to many of of us he was King. He was easy going, yet still full of passion and hard working. His love and appreciation for family, friends and fishing was second to none. He was a great friend to all, a dedicated father and an awesome fisherman. I feel blessed to have had David and the entire Kubiak family in my life.
On behalf of my Mom,Dad and Sister- We offer our condolences and prayers.
"Captin Dave" will surely be missed.

Dear Paige, Tilly, Gunner and David's extended family and friends: There are never easy words for what has happened to all of you - I cry with you and I grieve for you, I wish I could ease your pain. I was part of a fisherman's family myself, many years ago,in the outer banks of North Carolina - I feel so deeply for what happened to your family and even though I only knew David through you, Paige, I know what a good and brave man he was and how much you and others loved him. I want others to be able to share their thoughts with you, too, and I hope this journal will offer you some peace and good memories in the years to come. Sending you love, compassion and light from your loving friend, always from Lisa
