People knew Dave as fun, and funny, and smart and a great friend, but as his only sibling I can add there were countless nights where he and I would hunker down and just try to make it through to the next day. Despite being six years my junior, Dave was there for me when I needed him. He had a heart of gold and I might not have survived childhood without him.

Before his passing, Dave's greatest joy was being a dad to his two children, and the void he leaves in passing can never be filled. I love you, little brother, and I just want you back with your wife and two children where you belong. Please be well, Dave, and may your children find solace in each other to mitigate the pain of losing you and be there for each other as you were for me when our dad was taken during our childhood. You'll always be missed.

Thank you for being an incredible, amazing and loving brother. I love you.

I havent seen David in a long time but he was a 90 Kennedy classmate. I remember him being a fast talker, always kind and crazy funny. Prayers with family and friends.

Even though I have not seen or spoken to David in about 36 years, I am sad to hear of his passing. I was friends with Davids older brother, Gary, and I was about 5 years older than David but I always considered him a friend. RIP David.
