Decades of memories will forever be celebrated including things Dave loved: watching sports and listening to music in the garage; restoring cars; the outdoors; making jewelry and pottery; making mixtapes; being on the lake; neighborhood gatherings at the bonfire; and having a good time with his family and friends.
