David and Family,
Whenever you feel that their is no hope. Just remember what your dad used to say ‘It could always be worse’. Keep your head up. So sorry. God will definitely show you and your family the way to smile again. I know this experience will change you forever. Just remember all the good times you shared with your father and all the love he gave you throughout the years. He is not gone. He will live in your heart forever.
You and Family are in my thoughts and prayers.
My Deepest Sympathy.
Pat and the entire Ducker Family:
David was a beloved Christian Brother. Our loss is heaven’s gain. I will never forget David singing ‘We Baptized Jesse Taylor’
He will be missed by all. May God Bless and keep you all. You are in my prayers.
David’s faith and wittness was such a blessing to so many of us at Oakgrove Christian Church. God gave him a special talent for music and we were so blessed that David chose to share it with us, May you take comfort from your family and friends and may God give you peace.
We are praying for God to comfort and strengthen the family during this difficult time.

Dear Pat and family, We are so sorry for your loss. David was always such a joyful cousin. Whenever we were around him, he made us laugh and was always happy to see you. We pray that God will give you comfort and peace during this difficult time. We will see all of our loved ones again in heaven…hallelujah! Love to all of you, Gerry and Marty Flynn Hillyer
These are times that you don’t know what to say. We spent better part of 40 years together at work. These are the times we remember. David enjoyed his music. Be sure David had a full life. I know that you and the family will miss him . So will we. God bless You.
Those of us who had the opportunity to share Dave’s music will miss his fellowship. For the family he loved so dearly, we also share in your loss. Special talent, special fellow, rest in peace Dave!
Ducker Family,
You are in our thoughts and prayers during this difficult time in your lives. Let us know if we can do anything to help.
With my deepest sympathy to the family.
