    • So sweet, J.D. IIII, Lynn and the dogs also enjoyed decades on the cart. Oh coming down that mountain to the Bbq house was grand. Breaking peanuts was the best and card games with Mrs. Anita unforgettable.

  5. The smile is wholesome of a true man and American whom lived giving everyone a fare opportunity & chance to move up with his caring loving arms to help everyone he met. A Church planter, hard worker and really sweet guy that loved our Lord, fishing the Gables waterways and deep sea. Fun friend and my Boss: Exodus 33:14

  11. Loved my cousin Dave. He was much more like an uncle to me than a cousin. Went on many fishing trips with him and my dad in the keys that I will never forget. I will also never forget his lovely wife Lynn and kids. He was an amazing man. I’m forever grateful for knowing him and having him in my life. He was a man of great Christian influence and character. Love to all. You are in our prayers.

  12. David ,So many memories dear cousin. I will always remember water skiing trips, target shooting, and trips to the everglades on Uncle DeWhit’s airboat. Family Thanksgiving and Christmas dinners. I could go on and on. Our sympathy goes to Lynn and all the Ramsey family and friends.
