Tammy, Sarah and Matt, Dave was loved and respected by so many people. His family was important to him and loved dearly by him. That was evident anytime you saw him with you. His colleagues respected him and liked working with him. That's high praise in today's world. A good person was lost to us but will not be forgotten. His love for you will live on in the beautiful memories he left you. And I believe he will continue to watch over you, because a love that strong doesn't end but is felt when you most need it.
