This was one of our favorite pics of Abbi fishing on “Split Tails” with Papa Don. ❤️

Look at all that hair! First day our daughter was born.

David holding his daughter when she was a sweet a baby. 😊

Oh David I miss you so much I am just sick. I know you didn’t want to have an open casket but it was just a few of us and you still looked as handsome as ever. When I kissed your cold lips I just wanted to climb in and hold you until you warmed up. I’ve been crying for days. I can’t eat just cry. I love you so much and I know things weren’t always perfect but it was our perfect. I still call out your name thinking your in the other room. I can’t watch family guy either lol. I know you were greeted by a lot of loved ones and now there’s no more back pain haha. I just want this nightmare to be over I don’t know how to do this without you. You have been my best friend and other half for 15 years and I will never forget you or our love 

Our sweet nephew David. Named after your Uncle David. I will always remember when you, Gretchen, Uncle Dave and myself sat in our car and prayed together. It was a beautiful moment that will always be in my heart. We had some great talks. God says come to me as you are. I know he embraced you with his love. I will always remember your beautiful smile and love you always. I will keep all of your family in my prayers.   Much Love,  Aunt Deb

Dear brother, 
I never thought today would be the last day that I seen your face, kissed your forehead and said my final goodbye. When I walked in the room where your body laid. I had that few private minutes with my brother.  You looked so peacefully beautiful.  Jaiden drew a photo of all of us as angels, with a note that read " We will miss you Uncle David. Please kiss my dad for me." Love , Jaiden, Donivan & Mommy. He even signed his name in cursive. I folded it and placed it in your shirt pocket.
I knew in some way you kept your promise. Its no coincidence that as soon as I walked out to greet mom.  The most beautiful Monarch Butterfly was flying all around me. I wasn't the only one who seen it.
I hope you were happy with the way that everything turned out brother.  We even placed your favorite poker hand by your side. 
This is not goodbye, it's I'll see you later.
Until we meet again,
Love your sister

I am so sorry this happened to you Little David.  You are such a handsome young man with a beautiful daughter and sweet partner Gretchen. May you rest in peace.  Thank you for helping me move to my apartment a few years back.  When you were younger I drove you around on the back of my Honda Spree on the dirt roads up north in Gladwin. (I'll have to share this pic with Tami).  Please say hi to my dad for me...your 2nd father...lol.

Love your cousin, 

Minnie

My Darling Godson David, I have so many Memories of you when you were young. You were the one who started the Mud fights at Aunt Debbies House. I can still here your Mom screaming don't get him dirty, but we did not care did we. On your Birthday you and I would go to Toy's R Us and I would let you Pick anything you wanted, every year until you got older, than we went to Hudsons and at that time I had to take a loan out to buy you something. You always picked out Hats  and Sweat shirts. When you were a baby I would come over at nap time and go to the crib and kiss you all over wake you up and make you cry and then leave just to drive your Mom crazy because you would not go back to sleep. I have so many Memories of you I loved being your Aunt and God Mother and I will always Cherish those Moments. Until we meet again my Darling RIP I Love You  I Promise I will keep the mud fights going with your Nephews and Cousins as long as I am still on this earth. Your Loving Aunt Debbie.

Gone to soon I love you nefew until we meet again in paradise

All summer long by Kid Rock 
Lord knows that I love pictures and family videos.  I'm thankful that my Google photos put this together. 
The first is  their baby shower and gum family gatherings

This photo was taken at Jaiden's first birthday in Palm Coast Florida.  My brother and I were always close.  He was liked by many.  Dave was  popular, talented, handsome, and let's not forget funnys.  He loved to make people laugh. We definitely had our inside jokes.  Even his daughter Abbi has his senses of humor. I could tell you stories for days.  However, I'll keep those as wonderful memories to always hold on to. I still am in complete shock and to be honest, it's still not real to me yet.  I love you big brother.  I hope that you you found peace and are now are reunited with dad and Uncle Dave. I hope you remember what we always promised each other if something were to happen to one another.  Dispute everything else,  I'm proud to be your sister . You've always had my heart
Until we meet again 
Love, you little sister

David, my first born. I never thought this day would come?  That I would be here and not you. You will always have my heart even though you took a part of it when you left me.   You will always be in my heart.  And I know one day when God calls me home, you will be waiting for me. I love you to the ends of this earth.

                                          Your Mom
                                              Forever 

So very sorry to hear this. My sympathy goes out to the family. Such a handsome sweet guy. I would see David in the grocery store and he would always be so pleasant to talk to. I hope you are playing cards with the rest of the gang in heaven. And with your charm I am sure you will win. Peace be with you now and sleep well. Love Aunt Nancy

You were gone way to soon my friend I will see you in paradise I love you so so much until we meet again
