  5. Hi Family I worked with Dave for 23 years, and almost every time he came to our office, he would pull out his phone and share pictures of you with me. He would recount fun family life events, pool parties, school successes, and silly antics that he found so wonderful about you. I really wanted to share with you how much he loved you, and how his eyes and face lit up with joy when he talked about you. I know you loved him too, so I extend God’s loving embrace to you. He will hold you close and give you peace. Much Love, Karen.

I am praying for each of you during this heart-wrenching time. I am so sorry for your unexpected loss. Sending love and prayers your way. He will be greatly missed ❤ Philippians 4:7.

    Love,

  7. My dad had been friends Dave for my whole life. He’s also been a fixture in my life. I loved being around him, he always had a smile on his face and he would always make me laugh. He was a beautiful soul and I will miss him so much that I can’t even put it into words.

  8. Dave was a kind and genuine man. I worked with him for the two years I was at Genesiscare, and I always enjoyed the energy he provided to the team. No matter what center he was at, he never failed to light up the room. Between his joking with the therapists, or bringing in bunt cakes in exchange for early machine time, I could always tell he was loved by everyone he worked with. He will be greatly missed by myself and countless others.

  11. Trained and worked with David when he was in Atlanta. He was an exceptional Physicist that shared his knowledge to whoever he worked with. He was taken from his family way too early. My deepest condolences to the Family, he will live in your hearts forever.
