Dear dear David, your Light will shine brightly forever!!  You were larger than life…heart of gold, a gentle giant, and you loved like a big ole teddy bear.  

The families you served were the recipients of a most beautiful gift…your magnificent way of connecting immediately and taking care and of their every need. 

And we, your friends and colleagues, now carry a huge whole in our hearts.  We going to do everything we can to honor your presence among us by being the very best we can be as we care for and support the families we serve.

But I gotta tell you this: I’m really dreading our next  staff  meeting because we won’t hear Rick say, “David, I’m gonna separate you and Tina if y’all don’t quieten down!”  

Heaven has welcomed an amazing man…an angel who will continue to bless us all with so many memories…precious times together.

“For all the saints who from their labors rest.”

David, your heart of true gold will be sorely missed. So will your sense of humor and sense of style! I am so honored to have been able to know you and work with you. Your candle burned so bright. Thank you for your light.

I first met David when he joined our company as a Celebrant. At our first meeting, we connected on both being born at the same hospital and being a part of the Disciples of Christ church. I quickly discovered how caring and funny David was.  He served our families with the utmost respect and care.  He loved to talk about his own family, his days in the ministry, and the life he was enjoying here in Texas.  I was fortunate to have seen David just last week on three separate occasions and enjoyed having dinner with him.  He will be deeply missed by all his Dignity Family and by all who knew him.  Rest well, my friend.

I'm not sure how life will proceed without "OUR DAVID POWELL".  Have had many conversations on a spiritual level. He always assured me that he will be in a WONDERFUL place.   
He also shared with me, the last time we talked , However BLESSED he was to have such a FULL LIFE here in TEXAS.  The man had many friends .
He talked about his friends and acquaintances. I asked him if he was Happy in Texas City?   His response was. Oh YES!!!    IM SO FORTUNATE  TO HAVE MET AND KNOWN DAVID POWELL.

David, you are one of a kind. What a pleasure and experience to have known you and worked with you to help honor many families. You never hesitated to do what you could and to show up for a family in grief, no matter the circumstances. We walked a very difficult path together recently caring for a family twice in a few months, and even though you had no obligation to come and be present for the second services, you made a point to be there and to share in the memory of the loved one who had passed. Thank you, David. Love you :)
