I'm sad to hear of David's passing and have been missing him. I was lucky enough to grow up with him and have lots of memories as kids hanging out, bottle collecting to play video games, church retreats, fishing and joking around on the school bus. He's encouraging and fun. He invited me to church every Wednesday in 7th grade until I reluctantly went!

I'll see you in heaven, David!

Deepest condolences to David's family. I enjoyed seeing David at church each week. He was always friendly and had a great smile. He will be missed.

David will be deeply missed by his friends in Newberg! Much like his father, David had a heart of pure Gold and went out of his way to be of help to those in need. As a life long friend I will miss his humor, pragmatic views and most of all his steadfast friendship. He was a man of great faith and steadfastly sought to do what was pleasing in Gods eyes. I will see you again my friend, next time in a much better place.

I am so sorry for your loss. I worked with Dave many years ago back when it was Ryco Packaging. He was a great guy and someone that I could always count on. He was a kind soul that would bend over backwards to help someone else.
