Memorial services will be held 2pm Sunday, February 8, 2015 at J.E. Foust Funeral Home Chapel. A reception will follow. A difficult decision by his wife Cheryl concerning donation, was made easier knowing that David’s final act of generosity and kindness was his selfless act of giving life saving tissue. His corneal tissue will give the gift of sight to two persons. Because of that act, David’s legacy will live on in others. A memorial donation in David’s name may be made to Boy Scouts of America - Troop 700, c/o Millie Ferri, 2913 Sweetbriar, Grapevine, Texas 76051. Please make checks payable to Troop 700 and in the memo line please note in memory of David Kiff.
