David Chiles was my second cousin. I knew him growing up and he and his brother Dennis would come to our farm in Fauquier County Virginia and stay with us for the summer. I can't remember how many but they came a lot. I remember my dad teaching him to drive the tractor and help bale hay. David was a very hard worker. My two favorite things that we did after the work was done was going down to the barn after super and swinging on a rope hanging from the rafters and playing croquet. The other item is that he introduce our family to pizza. Wow was that a great dish.
We love David dearly. We will surley miss him. May he rest in peace.
Love Virginia Chiles and Christine Chiles Baer

Dave and I had a lot of talks about everything from politics to airplanes, and even personal stuff.
I'm 19 years old and about to start NCSU, and he was nothing but supportive of me and my efforts. I practically saw him as a father figure of sorts because, well, I have no relationship with my father.
Dave is quite possibly the kindest and most unselfish person I will ever know, and I envy the people who had a chance to see and know him on a daily basis.

I have thought often of David. He was a special person in my life.
My thoughts and prayers are with David's mother, Deanna, Doug, Dennis and the rest of his family.
May the Lord give you peace and comfort.

I live in the same apartment building where David resided. He always had time to stop and speak when, as neighbors, we'd run into each other in our comings and goings. He would be coming or going to work and I would either be doing the same or walking my dog. David loved his work with antiques and we would also sometimes discuss his love of books as well. He'd give me "tips" on good new book stores to shop, etc. He was a lovely, gentle man and I shall miss his kind smile. My thoughs and prayers are with David's Mother and family and may the Peace of the Lord be with them at this time of their loss.

We too met Dave when we entered into the "family" at 60 West. We shared a love of antiques as well as Great music. We quickly adopted Dave as a big brother. Never afraid to share, Dave taught us a lot about age, prices and the antique business in general. We love you and miss you already, and will never be able to listen to Johnny Lang again with out thoughts of you. God bless and rest in peace.

I got to know Dave when I became part of the "family" at Sixty West Antique Mall. It is so hard to believe that I won't see him again there at the shop. He was the kindest, most considerate and humble man who would do anything he could for you. He will be sorely missed.
