David was an incredible entomologist and brilliant photographer.
But more than anything was his iconoclastic nature that was a breath of fresh air in a workplace crammed till bursting with ennui. You will be missed big Dave!

My sincerest condolences to all who shared in his life, especially his family. I always enjoyed speaking to David. He always had something interesting to share within the topic of entomology. May he rest in peace.

David had such an interesting personality. From time to time, I would deliver samples to his office, and I couldn't just leave without taking some time to chat with him whether it was about bugs, his garden or personal endeavors; it was always such a pleasure to just talk to him. I will always remember his gentle "uhum" as to acknowledge his interest and understanding of what I was sharing with him. You will be missed. Godspeed David.

I met Dave in 2015 when I first moved to south Texas. We worked together for 8 years before he retired. He was a joker and a problem solver. I remember Dave didn't wait for permission if he saw something wasn't working, he jumped in with a plan and executed it. He made a lot of our jobs easier. I will always be grateful for his mentorship and friendship over the years both in and out of the office. He attended many of the plays at the community theater that my kids and I were in, bought popcorn from my scouts and even helped me haul lumber from Home Depot to my house so I could build a swing set for my youngest. He will be missed tremendously.

David will be missed! He was a great asset and leader in his field as an Entomologist with USDA-APHIS-PPQ, he was a mentor, coach and friend to many of us. David had over 30 years of service in PPQ and to our Agriculture Mission. May he rest in peace. We will miss you David!

Uncle David was such a good cook, He could make a 3 course meal from scratch and still find the time to finish a book. He will continue to be loved and remembered! May he find peace and rest with the Lord.

Saddened to hear about David´s passing. I had the blessing and honor to work alongside him many years ago. David was a smart, hard working and funny man. I learned a lot from him and will always remember him fondly. He truly loved his country and his family. Rocio and Noah, I am thinking of you and pray God´s peace and love carries you through this difficult time. I will be praying for my friend David´s repose with Our Father in heaven.
