So sorry for your loss. Prayers for all of his family and friends
I remember when I first met David 25 years ago. He was so happy and loving to you two Kate and Kayla. David struck me as a hard working father who loved his girls very much. I remember this one time my husband at the time and David and Kaleena played cards one night while you girls and Michael played. He found out I was scared of spiders so of corse in true David form he rolled up a scrunchi when I wasn’t looking and threw it at me yelling SPIDER! I fell out of my chair, lost about 10 years off my life then swore I would get him back! Then I laughed so hard I couldn’t breath. He was a fun guy to hang around. I’m sorry life took us all in different directions. Know that my heart goes out to your whole family.

I’m very sorry to hear about David’s passing. I met him at Venable in the 5th grade and went on several mountain adventures with him, since we lived in walking distance. Also played baseball with him on his dad’s team. Loved to hang around him, because he always made you laugh. Will never forget his smile and his kind heart. I will be praying that the Lord will provide peace and healing for the family.
