As children, my brother and I always enjoyed spending time with our cousin David McKenzie. He was so smart and funny, and we both looked up to him. As the years went by, though we saw him less often, our appreciation and respect for his intelligence grew, and our affection never waned.
I once asked my brother if he believed in an afterlife. He replied, " I believe we live on in the minds of those whose lives we have touched." David touched so many lives in his quiet, generous way that surely he will continue to be with us for a long time to come.
David will be missed by many, but my heart goes out to you, dear Marty, my sister/ cousin, as his closest and dearest loved one, you will miss him most.
Love,
Kay

I will miss David's chuckle and his wisdom. I found through our 33 years of friendship a warm & gentle soul. He had wisdom beyond his life's experiences. He was with me for many of my life lessons. David's generous soul was as tender as any soul to be found. David will be in my heart forever. With love, Jane
