Close to ten years ago when I was in middle school, David was 5 years older and friends with my sister. He would invite me over to watch movies because we were both big Evil Dead fans and was awesome. I never was able to tell him how much that meant to me.

Happy Birthday my love :)

David was too young to have parted us. My condolences go out his family in this trying time. He will be missed dearly by me. He was genuine and a very charismatic fellow. I have many fond memories of him and wish there could have been many more. RIP David Owen Stevens. He was a very selfless man may his memory proceed him in death. I will not forget you my friend. I only hope that you have found peace.

To my compadre Larry,
Mom and Dad called yesterday with the news…as a father, it's unfathomable…as a friend, I want to run to your side. Though it's been 35+ years and thousands of miles, the ties that bind us are as strong today as they were in 1976. Share your burden with those closest to your heart…it will help; and as cliché as it sounds, the passing time will ease the sorrow you feel today.
Your buddy,
Pee-holius (Latin)

There is no greater loss! In deeply painful moments, I remind myself: We can choose to mire ourselves in the what if's, possibilities, and should have's; or we can choose to celebrate his life as it was, what he gave, shared, and accomplished. A beautiful boy! I love you all so much!
