I always remember how David's face would light up with a big smile, when I would stop by to visit him. Enjoyed spending time eating meals with him and celebrating special occasions such as David's birthday, Mother's day lunch celebrations as well as Christmas and Thanksgiving get-togethers.  He was funny and was a very expressive person.  I still remember to this day, how he would laugh every time we pretended we were leaving, then we would peek back into the room and he would start laughing or roll his eyes, as if saying "you're still there!"  There are too many memories of time spent with David, that I will always carry in my heart.  Love always.  

I remember when I was little we would go visit him every other weekend and he would be joking and laughing and just so happy no matter what his situation was I miss him I know I haven’t been close w the family but I truely loved him and he will be missed dearly 

Loved my younger years with the Arce family!  David was such a bright light...had that Arce smile and laugh!  Prayers and love to the family!  Heaven just got sweeter!

My big Brother David may you RIP. We're all going to miss you very much. We're going to miss that smile and your laugh. I will miss bringing you lunch and your snacks. I enjoyed coming and sitting with you when mom couldn't. Sit there and watch TV and get on your nerves. Made you laugh and annoy you where you would close your eyes to make me invisible but I was still there when you would open them. And you would laugh and say oh brother haha!! Love you big brother! Until we see each other once again.

My dear friend Gloria, my deepest condolences to you and your family.  I have many wonderful memories of the times I visited David.  His smile always lit up the room and I always enjoyed making him laugh.  I will never forget that he always remembered who I was.  Spending time with David was always so special to me and I always looked forward to spending time with him.  I will always treasure his smile and the wonderful times we shared in my heart.      

Dearest Gloria I am so deeply saddened for your loss. I feel so honored to have known David and you my dear Friend. He always had a smile on his face and laughed at everything we talked about and I never once saw him upset or complain. Cutting his hair was a joy for me as we know he had the best hair ever. The years I shared with you both will be those I will cherish forever. My love to you and your family. 

Big brother so I have a lot of memories but mostly remember when I got married n brought Elsie n then later the girls home u welcomed them with open arms. You n Elsie hit it off so quickly n the love u shared to us all was awesome. U had the greatest smile n most contagious laugh that everyone was immediately in a good mode. U were never one to hide ur feelings if we were at family get together n saw us (me) clowning around we would hear “oh brother “ n u would roll ur eyes n u would exit stage left haha. U showered Elsie, Stephanie, and Alyssa with so much love it was such a great feeling. Maybe it was because we were gone a lot but we all felt ur love that it lasted until we met again n then u showered us with more. Thanks for being there for anyone in need thanks for being a great big brother, I know ur resting now but also know u r keeping an eye on us all. Rest In Peace my brother we love u forever

David!! You were such a pleasure to work with! I will always remember you and all of our silly moments we had! I’m going to miss seeing your smile everyday! It was a treat being your nurse.  I know you are up there dancing and laughing away with the big man. Rest easy
