Primo, We all miss you very much I know you are in a much better place.
God could not have picked a better person to be a guardian angel I miss you and think about on a daily basis.
Every time I remember your HUGE smile it makes me smile and then sad.
But I know you would not want us to be sad and do my hardest to remember the great moments we all had every time you were around.

I Love you and miss you.

Hey Junior, just stopping by to let you know that I miss you very much. I think about you on a daily basis. I pass by where you are barried and it makes me want to cry. But I do know that you are in a better place and that you will take care of us from up above. I find myself crying myself to sleep as I am doing now. I fell in to some depration for a moment but you know I have learned how to love my family alot more and to show them how much I love them. I am starting to get over this because You always had a smile and I have talked to you in my dreams. Thank you for your words I am getting back to myself it is taking me sometime to get there but I am going to be the girl you remember. As you said in my dream Party girl, Adventures and most of yes I will let everyone know you are happy. I love you and Miss you I promise I will be okay.

I didn't know this gentleman , but his smile is so beautiful ! As I read the condolences for the family it only can mean he sure was an inspiration to this family, and friends. May Daivid be rejoicing in Gods arms . I can only offer my prayer and may God give all his family, and friends all the comfort they seek.

I wasnt lucky enough to know David a whole lot but I was blessed with having his wonderful mom Blanca in my life. Althugh I did not get the opportunity to know him better I will always remember his huge smile.. all the time. We would always argue over the his cowboys and my niners (me being a huge SF 49ers fan). Its a shame that he had to leave so early but I know that he is watching over all his loved ones and he is in a better place now. Blancation, you know where to find me whenever you need me, you know you can count on me always. I love you
ps.This will be the only time I will ever say this but GO COWBOYS!!! R.I.P: David

David.
I remember meeting you,,
When i was only 4 years old.
I vaguely remember,,
But i do remember meeting you.

I wish i could've known you on a more personal level.
As a cousin.
Which is what we are.

Just by seeing how many people were in church on wednesday and thursday
I know you were so very loved.
And you workd so hard.
And you had goals for yourself.
You were just a happy go-lucky teenager getting ready to start his life.
I miss you so much.
It wasn;t your time to go.
But god has bigger plans for you.
And i'm sure his intentions are great.

But the selfishness in us all,your famly&friends,we want you here with us and not so far away.

The families lost without you Junior.
But before any of us know it,,
We'll all be together again.
And it'll be the greatest day for all of us.
Wait for us Junior.
We'll be together again soon.

Tell Tupac i said what's up!?
(:

ILoveYou cousin.
See you soon.
Rest in Paradise.
Rest in Peace.

MarissaRose.

P.S.
To my family in Yuma.
Stay up.
We'll get through thiss.
Just think of the little bit of good occurred in this last week.
We got to meet each other for the first time(for some of us).
Some of us hav en't seen each other in 10 years.
It was time to be together.
But not under these circumstances.
Nevertheless.
We are all together now.
And shall not mourn his passing.
Yet,
We shall celebrate his wonderful life.
Short as it may have been.
He was a wonderful young man who will always be remembered and missed very much.
And ten times more will he always be loved.

Tia Blanca.
He's always with you.
Maybe not physically.
But you will ALWAYS be able to feel his presence.
He was such a happy and warm person,,
There's no way he could be forgotten.
Ever.
ILOVEYOU TIA!

Take care.
See all of yoou down in Yuma very soon.

I remember david back in castle dome when i first moved out here in the 8th grade. w never shared any of the same classes but i knew him around the school, he was always so bright, happy, very talk-a-tive, and i loved him for that. he knew about one of my biggest crushes at the school which had happen to be one of his good friends at that time. i enjoyed every moment i spent with him, his love for basketball, and excitment. he was very andventurous and ambitous. there was never a dull moment when your around david, even if your feeling mighty low that day he was the person that'll always get you in a good mood. i hope his family gets through this terrible lose. and god bless, i will always love and remember david..never will i let him slip through my mind.

Hey David! I just wanted to show my love & support on here, I do know what your family is going through I just recently lost my grandpa on Aug. 25, 2008. It sucks, i'm sure you would want us all to be happy and showing off our smiles, like you were always showing off your gorgeous smile, but its hard. It sucks that we have to lose the good ones, who were having a good life, I guess it's for a reason! I just really don't think it's ever a good enough reason to take somebodys life. I know we barely met like within the last month, Like probably when you first got the car off Mike. Hanging out at jack, and at cruise night, you were so happy all the time. Which I am always a happy person too, so it was like we just clicked... Remember I told you I was gonna jack your shoes cuz your feet were so small and cute, and at that you wore the same size as me, how sad!! I must have huge feet. lol. Just remember you have so many people out here supporting you & your family. You have an awesome family. I just hope you have fun up there, and you can watch out for us from above. You won't be forgotten David, I think you impacted too many peoples lives for that to happen. Take care & may god bless you & your family. We miss you & love you David Jr. <3

Junior, I miss your smile, your laugh, your humor and miss you. I still remember when you were small. When we all hung out at the Ranch playing ball, tag and when we would go out exploring in the "woods". You were a great cousin, friend and person. I know that you are looking down on us and are happy to be in a better place. We all will remember how you were and most of all we will miss you dearly. I know that someday I will see you and remember I love you always and forever.

A David, que lastima que no te conoci, todos los comentarios de ti son muy positivos, sena de que fuiste amado y un buen amigo y companero.
A Blanca, David Sr. sus hermanas y al resto de la familia que Dios los bendiga en este tiempo que estoy segura es dificil y desgarador, que Dios todo poderoso y misericordioso les de la fortaleza para que puedan sobrepasar este dolor tan grande, pero tengan fe en que David se adelanto David se fue para a abrir paso para todos los demas y el nos dara la bienbenida cuando sea nuestro tiempo.
Blanca recuerda que en mi no nomas tienes una amiga de anos sino una hermana que te ama con el amor de Cristo Jesus.

David was my fourth grade student at Desert Mesa School. I will always remember him as a cheerful student with a grand heart. I am deeply saddened by the loss of this amazing young man. However, I am at peace knowing that he is rejoicing with the Lord. My deepest sympathies.

DAVID ALWAYS HAD A SMILE ON HIS FACE THAT BRIGHTENED MY DAY. I WAS HIS ASSISTANT MANAGER AT PIZZA HUT WHERE I ALWAYS TOLD HIM HE WAS LIKE A SON TO ME. I WILL MISS HIM VERY MUCH. I LOVED WORKING WITH HIM AND HE WAS A GREAT EMPLOYEE, HE WAS ALWAYS ON TIME AND CAME IN WHEN WE NEEDED HIM OR EVEN STAYED LONGER WHEN WE ASKED HIM TOO. ON BEHALF OF MYSELF,MY FAMILY, AND ALL THE STAFF AT PIZZA HUT MAY GOD BLESS YOU AND SMILE WITH THE ANGELS. I WILL NEVER FORGET YOU.MAY GOD BLESS YOU. REST IN PEACE.

david's constant smile is what made him so likeable but his unbelievably insessant happiness and his relentless humor is what made him loveable. This tradgey has broken hearts but I find comfort in knowing he is in heaven waiting for us, smiling his illuminating smile, and living in true happiness. I love you daivd and I will see you there.

I remember David Andaverde as a middle school student. He was a bright student and happy young man always smiling. I cant imagine the pain his family is going through. My deepest sympathy and prayers are for his family. God Bless David.

I knew David from work and from being friends outside of work. He was truly a great person that enjoyed life. My life is changed because of him and I thank him for that. I will miss him and will never forget all the good times we had. Like staying on the phone at all hours of the night or texting constantly. It is sad to see him go and I am sorry that he had to leave at such a young age. He ALWAYS wanted so much for everyone else and NEVER wanted anything in return.
But everyone look up because you all know he would not want us to be sad. Keep a smile and remember all those goofy things he did just so we would not be sad. David is in a better place now, so we have to be strong and keep our heads up! Take care and God Bless!!!
