David was the best big brother I was gifted by God to have. He was the one constant in my life that was always there to look out for me as big brothers do. I will always miss you and love you. I'm very proud to have had you in my life as long as I have.  Fly high my brother you have certainly earned your wings. Until we meet again. R.I.P
     With much love.  Lynn

David was a Rock Star - in so many unique ways. He was his own true person in all things. My sincerest condolences and sorrow at his passing for his family. Not a day will go by that I won't think of him and remember the things that he stood for. Our world and all the lives that he touched will be less full  without him. 

Please accept sincere condolences from the Gilman family. David's presence at Porsche will continue to be felt,  he deeply touched all who had the good fortune to work with him, we will remember him daily. 

David was the consummate professional, treating everyone with dignity and respect as he met their business needs, thus earning their respect back in return. The majority of Porsche technicians and Service Managers had never met Dave face to face, but they all knew he was "The Man" who helped them with their PIWIS  issues. He made an impact, he was appreciated, he will be missed. 

Our sincere condolences go to The Harden Family.  David was a good man and friend to us all.  I will miss him and our conversations about anything going on in life or our beloved PIWIS Testers.  Peace be  with you always, David. 

My dear Connie pastor Doug just shared this I’m am just at a loss right now! I am so sorry! David was a wonderful man and he was my husband Russell’s friend until my Russ passed away! We sang in church together we loved him so! My condolences to you and the family! R.I.P. David!

David you will be missed.  Whenever I had a question, it was seconds and I had a response.  My thoughts are with you and your loved ones.

RIP my friend.

I will truly miss David, he was a great soul. I learned a lot from him and he was always there to lend a hand to anyone. My condolences to his family and loved ones. 

As his oldest nephew I can say without a doubt he was the best of our family.  He was always one to take the lead. He had a huge heart and was a great role model even if he didn’t let me drive his car. He was like a second father to me at times if I wanted it or not. The smell of Jovan Musk and Marlboro lights will always be with me even though he isn’t.

David was always a willing partner in chaos.  No matter how badly we made a mess of our Piwis tester he was there to help.  We will miss his talent and his support, and most of all, we will miss him as a warm human being with a good sense of humor and warmth.  My condolences to the family 

To the Hardin family, I am very sorry for your loss.  Anytime I visited Atlanta, David was always there greeting and offering to help on anything we needed.  He will be and is missed.

I am very sorry for your family’s loss. I always felt blessed that I had the opportunity to get to work with David. When I was given the chance to be in charge of the support team, which was my first leadership position, his feedback helped me and motivated me to put people first. I miss his happy, helping, and pure nature very much and I always remembered him. I would have missed more in live had I never met him at all. I will continue to cherish his memory. I miss you…David.  

My thoughts and prayers are with the Harden family during this very difficult time. May your memories provide you comfort in the days ahead.  I am so very sorry, with my deepest sympathy. Patty Beizer

My deepest condolences for your loss.  I was saddened to hear of David's passing.  He was a wonderful person who loved and adored his family and made it abundantly clear through photos and stories.  He was always helpful and would go out of his way to answer questions, even if a question didn't make sense, he would just look at you and the laughter would commence.  In a sense he was a mentor who conveyed patience and kindness through his actions and work.

I worked with David since 2004. He was a respected friend and colleague, and his loss is felt by all of us at PCNA who knew him. Over the years, David encouraged me by his consistent walk with Christ - just knowing he was there encouraged me in the faith we held in common. His passing was unexpected and I am truly sorry for the loss his family and friends are now experiencing. 

David was a great guy and will be sorely missed at PCNA. I do wish that I could have had the opportunity to play some good ol' dinosaur rock with him, as we had many conversations about music and shared similar philosophies on how covers should be done. So sorry for your loss. Please let us know if there is anything we can do to help in this most difficult time. Try to keep the happy memories at the forefront. 

From our family to yours a heartfelt condolences on the loss of your beloved family member. I always looked forward to talking with David when in Atlanta or by phone from the training center here in California, he was a very gracious man and always took the time to help me in anyway that I might need. I know he was a race fan so I will always think of him when watching. I know this is a great time of sorrow for you and your loved ones and there will be moments that you will see or hear something that will remind you of him and it will bring a smile I know it will be that way for me. May the God of all comfort be with you now.

So very sorry for your loss. David spoke often of his family and loved to share photos with us of his children and grandchildren.  He will be missed.

Connie, I'm very sorry for your loss. David is already missed by All of us. He was always glad to help with pictures of the Carrera GT training classes over the years. I still go to some of his off the beaten path lunch spots that he shared with me. Know that we're thinking of you and your family. 

David always had a great attitude. He went above and beyond whenever I needed his help at work. He will definitely be missed. My sincere condolences to the family. He will be missed greatly.

I’m very sorry for your loss. David was a great guy. David was always willing to help in anyway he could. He was always in good spirit, even when things got a little rough at work. David seem to always have a way to be positive with his dry humor, he was able to lift the moment. He will be missed.

David was always a very kind and pleasant person. I never saw him upset or bothered at work. He was always helpful and never passed by without saying hello. He and his family are in my prayers.

I am so sorry for your loss.  He will be missed by many!  I'll keep fond memories of his smile and dry humor.  
Best wishes for peace in this time of sudden loss.
