I was reading some of my family genealogy of the Peyronnet family and discovered we are distantly related. God bless his family and friends.

David,
We will miss your laugh and lust for life. The wonderful years we all had in Houston. Together laughing, cooking, movies, music, talking about life. What fun we all had. We will miss you so. To Jake and Dave's parents, please know he was loved dearly,and our thoughts and prayers are with you in this time of sorrow.

Dear Dr. Jarvis.
I'm sorry for your loss.
I only knew David for a short time but I can tell you he did not pass alone. David and I had very long and interesting talks about our creator.I know he was searching for more and I can tell you he found it. I prayed for him often and I know he loved you. May God continue to smile upon you

Dear Dr. and Mrs. Jarvis,
Both my wife and I were saddened to hear of Dave's
passing. We had lost contact with him over the years, as we both moved to different places. But in the time we knew him, he was a good friend and we always enjoyed his tremendous wit and blinding humor.

Dave:
I will miss speaking with you about the lab in which we first met, our joint work, and even Bugs Bunny. You were the best scientific writer I have even known. Thanks for being there as a dedicated colleague and supportive friend. I will cherish your memory.
Good-bye old friend!

Dear Dr. & Mrs. Jarvis,
We are so sorry about Dave's death. By reading his obituary, it is obvious that he accomplished a great deal during his life on earth and that you are very proud of him. We can barely imagine the pain you feel at his passing. Know that you are in our thoughts and prayers and that life is indeed eternal.

Dear Dr. & Mrs. Jarvis,
Dave was a special person who left us way too early. He will be remembered for landmark contributions to science and our understanding of the molecular and biochemical pathways that control cell growth and death. More importantly, he touched many, many lives with his wit, intellect, and humanity. Dave made a tremendous difference in my life and I will miss him terribly.

I was probably the worst technician Dave ever had, but he was so patient with me. I will always remember Dave for cultivating a love of science in me. While Dave has taken physical leave of this world, he will always remain in my thoughts and prayers.

Dear Dr. and Mrs. Jarvis.
I hope that there is some comfort in realizing how many people were profoundly influenced by Dave. He packed a lot into his life and I miss him greatly. He truly lived a wonderful life.

David:
Thanks so much for all of the great laughs. I still think I might be right about Forest Gump being a great movie. That not withstanding, I hope you are enjoying the promise of heaven, as well as that perfect body. The Bible says that the greatest thing we can ask for is the Lord upon our entry to say: "Well done my fine and faithful servant" Well done David, well done indeed.

I worked with David at Dominion Diagnostics in Rhode Island. Although I only knew him for a short time, I will always remember David for his sharp wit and sense of humor. I will also remember the day when myself and another employee assisted David with setting up a new analyzer for the lab. I could tell the passion he had for the science in the way his eyes lit up when he was explaining to us the important role that instrument would play in our lab. He had a smile on his face a mile wide.
My deepest sympathies to his family.
