Dad where do we even start! Well first off you were an amazing dad, you pushed me to be better everyday! You gave me the strength I needed to wake up everyday and push for success and grab the bull by the horns!! You fought for all of us! I remember just like it was yesterday when I can hear you screaming from the stands or from when you prepared me for my first job interview. These are memories that no one can take from me. I'll miss working on all the projects that we used to work on together that we never got done!! But we still tried!! The biggest project we worked on together was our relationship and it doesn't stop here! I know your so close but so far away!! One day we will be reunited again and we will find something to work on once again!! Promise too raise my children like you raised us to love one another and to watch each others backs!! I love you dad!! Watch over us but don't  forget to live free!! Be ready to grab my hand and guide me thru because Thats what you did best!! Rest easy dad!! Your son and your forever best friend, Matt!!

David was a good man.  I loved him like a brother and will miss his humor.  He new how to get to any destination that he had visited.  He has raised good men to carry on his legacy.  Love you Dave! 

One of the hardest thing in life is the loss family member especially a parent! I might not show my emotion but on the inside I’m a wreck knowing that I’ll never get the chance to come over to talk to you for advice. You worked so hard to make sure that mom, Matt, Austin and I were always taken care of. A piece of you is within all of us from blood to Husker red. I remember everything you loved from jeeps that are jacked up sky high to Husker football season but more importantly your family! You will be missed greatly and always around in our hearts. This isn’t goodbye it’s see ya later kind of moment. I love you dad! 

Sometimes in life you win some and sometime you lose some I never thought in a million years I would lose my Best Friend My Soulmate My Rock at 53 it is way to young. I want to Thank You for the 30yrs I was given to be your wife we had our up and downs and struggles but we always seemed to get through what was given to us the Love we shared was a bond that couldn’t be broken. We had 3 awesome Boys Mike Matt and Austin that you loved so much and was very proud of the men they have become today. And those Grand babies Sophia Grace and Bentley Joseph that was a feeling like know other they just melted our hearts and those snuggles hugs and kisses Dave you beamed with smiles every time you seen them. I miss you so much my heart aches for you like no other I’m lost and in shock and I’m numb to the core. I just sit and wait thinking you will come through that door and this is all a dream that I’m going to wake up from. I’m going to miss you so very much and I Love you to the moon and back. You were a fighter and you fought that fight till the end. I promised that I would be there till the end and when I was watching you take your last breath that was so hard on me but I was there holding your hand I kept my promise my promise to you to be there for you no matter what. I am so proud to call you my husband you always made sure that I knew that you loved me. Fly free honey you are in a much better place now no more suffering no more pain no more struggles. You inspired me to be a Fighter and fight through anything that is thrown my way and to take the struggles that’s before me and Fight with all I have. I Thank you for that.  I love you forever and always your wife Shelly Missing you so much heart broken. You were an Awesome husband and Awesome Dad and an Awesome Grandpa you will be missed by so many. 

I remember growing up and my cousin Dave coming over all the time with his boys in their jeep wrangler. That thing was awesome. We'd hang out and play basketball or football. It was usually for a bbq or family get together. You are missed David. We love you.
