To the Fair/Young Family: Sadly, I did not learn about Lil David's passing until this afternoon, after services. My prayers are will you all. My favorite memory with David - our birthdays were just 5 months apart - his on May 20th and mine on October 20th - and for years we would call each other with best wishes on each other's birthday. May God be with you all during this painful time, but keep all the good memories alive in your hearts.
