To David's parents... He always talked of how much he loved you. To his daughter..he adored you and to his grandchildren... He cherished you. He was by far one of the nicest guys I have ever met. He paved his way to heaven.

Words cannot begin to express the sadness from the loss of David. He was not only a co-worker to me, but an amazing friend, one who would put others needs before his own. The love he had for his family was like no other. I pray that in the difficult days that lie ahead, may the precious memories of David bring peace to you. I will miss you David.

I'm so sorry to hear of David's passing. He has been doing my hair for so many years. We had many great conversations about his family. He loved you all so much. He always spoke so highly of you. I will miss our times together. I looked forward to seeing & talking to him. To his parents, you raised a great man who was so kind, so loving, so caring & such a joy to be around. To his siblings, he had some great stories to tell of the fun you all had growing up & the love & friendship you shared as adults. To his daughter, he lit up when he talked about you & the love he had for you was so great to see. And to his grandchildren, you were the love of his life. He was so very proud of each of you. I loved to listen to all the fun things you did together with him & the love he had for you was incredible. May you rest in peace my friend. I will miss you always & you will forever be in my heart.
