David was a kind and gentle soul. He was very intelligent and was always willing to offer his advice. He had a great love of animals and he was lost when his beloved "Fe" passed away. He was my very good friend. We dated for awhile, but our friendship lasted through the years. He loved and admired his family very much. He always told me how hard his sister worked for her community and he thought she was pretty awesome for all the time she put in to serve her fellow man. He admired his mother for her love of life. He certainly appreciated his mother´s dedication to God and Jesus Christ and that she has remained true to her faith. He spoke of her exercising everyday and what a great example she was for others to follow. He certainly admired and missed his father. He told me stories of going to the potato chip factory with his Dad. His father taught him a great work ethic and although his father became ill, David was by his side to care for him. From his perspective, his family, like so many others, was not perfect, but he was blessed. David is now on the other side. He still has a soft spot in my heart. May God keep him until we meet again.
