Fifteen years ago, but still miss you brother David. The world has become a very bizarre place, much more evil than when you left it, although God the Creator is still ultimately in control. You were a great friend and brother. Cherish your visits to North Carolina and our long talks via phone. Hugs and love, -your sister, Sarah

Thank you Jesse Ray and Darrel Smith for sharing memories of your friend, David (my younger brother). Your messages warmed my heart. I miss him dearly, even to this day. He was indeed a very generous spirit'. David loved being with people, was a wonderful conversationalist, and just plain loved people. The world lost a wonderful person when he departed.

Dear friends and relatives of Dave,
I just heard of his passing. I hadn't kept up much lately, but we spent a lot of time together at Luther College from 1984-85. He was an incredibly generous spirit - we spent many a weekend in Lacrosse WI with crazy exploits. We hitched a ride to Toledo Ohio in 1984. We hung out in Ames IA too for a while. He was an amazing friend. He really helped me a lot to get through my bizarre first year of college at Luther. I really miss him as a friend. Please accept my condolences.

David,
Every June 12 and June 26 I think of you more often than usual. My sadness is still so profound. You would have been 45 this year. I miss our long talks by phone, and our infrequent, but wonderful, visits. Wishing you were still here on this earth; wishing things would have been different. I love you, brother.

David was a true freind.The type we do not see anymore.He would stand with you thru thick and thin and would allways be there for you when asked.
His loss means that the world has lost an "Angel"
He will be missed.

Dear Vicki;
We lost more than a son-in-law, we lost a good friend. When David would stop by, we would lose all concept of time discussing history and politics. We are very sadden by his death. Our memorial is a donation to the Mary Greeley Hospital Foundation for diabetes education.

Into your hands, O merciful Savior, we commend your servant David. Acknowledge, we humbly beseech you, a sheep of your own fold, a lamb of your own flock, a sinner of your own redeeming. Receive him into the arms of your mercy, into the blessed rest of everlasting peace, and into the glorious company of the saints in light. Amen

David was the best brother-in-law a man could have. He was also a very kind uncle. He had a huge heart and an easy-going approach to life. Everybody who has met David carries away something from him. Everybody who knew David has something of David inside them. We will always remember him, and our lives will always be richer because we have known him and loved him. God bless you David. We are with you and you are with us always and forever.
