Driving by the firehouse today I noticed your name on the sign.  I have not seen you in years.  I really enjoyed the years we worked together at the rec center.  You were a great guy and always made us laugh.  RIP Milk

Although we were more "acquaintances," Dave was always very friendly when he came to our office to pick up parts. He came so often that I knew when he pulled up and would make sure someone knew he was there for pick up before he even walked in the door. Dave was one of the only customers that always made sure he told me hello, and was definitely one of the nicest customers I have met in my time at the company. May care and love of those around you provide comfort and peace to get you through the days ahead. My most sincere condolences.

We've known David since he was a young kid. We worked, camped and hunted together - so many laughs and wonderful lasting memories! David marched to the beat of a different drummer - everyone loved that about him. He was one of those special people and will truly be missed. Our hearts, thoughts and prayers are with the Braunscheidel family.

I was saddened to hear about Dave's passing. My thoughts and prayers to Rusty and my family who lost him

How saddened I was to hear about Dave's short illness & passing...he was one of the first people I met when I came to Heim Middle and he 'took me under his wing'...never a day went by without a smile, a laugh or a kind word...he was my best friend back then..so many great memories. Glad we were able to stay in touch, even tho I moved away...loved seeing his camping pictures and all the fun he was having--glad he was always having a great time in life!
My heart goes out to all the Braunscheidel family and hoping as each day passes, it will get a little easier knowing  he is watching down on all of you.

We have such amazing memories of Dave. He was giving,  funny and full of life. We can’t believe that he’s gone. He always stopped by to make sure we were included in camp activities. He loved Leisurewood and it will not be the same without him. Our condolences to Rusty and the family. You are in our  thoughts and prayers during this difficult time.  God Bless. 

Dear Kathy and family,
Our heartfelt sympathy to you and your family.  Our deepest hope is that you and your family remain well.

Rusty and Family,

I am so sorry for your loss. Mr. Dave was one of the sweetest, kindest, most genuine people I have ever had the pleasure of meeting. I remember him stopping by work to bring us treats and sometimes just to say hello. He treated me like family and I’ll never forget his smile. And he sure loved his “Queenie.” He will be missed! 

Rusty and family... so very sorry for your profound loss. Please know you are all being held closely in the thoughts and prayers of many.  Dave will not be forgotten. May the memories serve as your strength.

Blessed are those who mourn, for they will be comforted.
- Matthew 5:4

I love how Dave avoided chain restaurants like the plague, and instead, always had some out-of-the-way, off-the-beaten path restaurant to take me to when I visited my sister. Who knew the Clarence Bowling Alley had the best pancakes in town? Dave did!! And the place that sold weird, hard-to-find, old-fashioned candy? Had the best chicken pot pie EVER. Like the restaurants you discovered, you were one-of-a-kind, Dave. You will be SO very missed by all who knew you.

With David,  We Not Only Lost A Great Person,  But We Also Lost A Great Firefighter,  May He Rest In Peace
