Dear David, 
I didn't know you well but the amount of stories and laughs that I heard that were produced by you were endless. You were one of the most interesting people I'd ever heard about and I even had the opportunity of meeting you once or twice. Your friends spoke about you with such lovely and kind words and your peers did with valor and strength. You were loved by all, even in your final moments. I pray that you are fully in God's hands with no worries on your shoulders or heavy thoughts. God is with you always and forever. Prayers to the entire Pineda family, Davids's father, his brother, Peter, and the rest of his extended family and friends. May they grieve however they need to and find God in this painful situation, while being supported by the entire Staten Island community. David, you will be missed eternally, and never forgotten. Rest easy beautiful boy, for the power of God is within you forever and always. ✝️❤️🕊️

We are heart broken to hear of David’s passing . We have known the Pineda family since 2013 at OLQP and they are a beautiful and loving family. I am at a loss of words as I type this. Dear God, please wrap your arms around Dave and Peter and give them the strength they need. Our deepest condolences and prayers.
 Allison, joe and family

I can’t fathom that I am writing this right now… we have known the Pineda family for many years. “Little” David was part of our OLQP Class of 2023- a great group of friends who despite going to different high schools- always kept up with each other. Our not so little David was the most beautiful soul- ever since he was a teeny baby. He had a smile and a laugh that was contagious. He was always kind and helpful and loving. He was one of the most respectful kids you could ever meet to not just adults- but his “friends”. The world lost one of the brightest lights. Sending so much love and light to David and Petey. No words could ever make this right- just know that we are all thinking of you and sending you  all of our love, thoughts, prayers and hugs.

he was always so funny in class i haven’t spoken to him in a few months but i will say im he was a great friend with so much smarts and opportunities

Our hearts are broken. David was an integral part of an amazing group of childhood friends that have remained close from kindergarten until today. It's the kind of friend group that every parent wants for their kids. From the time he was little, David always had the sweetest smile, the gentlest soul. 

I was so happy when my son Dante told me that David was going to Farrell and that they would get to be brothers there together.  Just recently, he told me how everyone at Farrell loved David, how he made everyone smile all the time. 

Nothing made me happier than when "the crew" (the original friend group who attend 3 different high schools now) got together to celebrate a birthday or just hang out. They had that "friends forever" magic that you don't often see anymore. 

We are praying that God brings comfort and strength to Dave, Peter and family. Rest in eternal peace, sweet boy. Your friends will miss you and love you forever and remember you always.

David touched the lives of his Farrell brothers with his kindness and the way he met them all with a smile. May he rest peacefully in the loving arms of our Lord for all eternity.   May God give you strength and a peace that surpasses understanding as you navigate this unimaginable loss.  Our family is praying for yours. With love from, The Harringtons (Monsignor Farrell HS)

David was always the sweetest kid ever. Not even to just his friends, but to everyone. A room would light up when he walked into it and he always knew how to make everyone smile and laugh. Everyone is going to miss him so much. 🕊️❤️‍🩹

Please accept our deepest condolences over the loss of your beautiful son and brother. May he rest in peace and your hearts find solace.

Kokolis Family

I heard so many wonderful stories about you. Truly an amazing person. I hope you are at peace in God's hands. Rest in Peace David.

As a junior, and as a friend, David was an outstanding person, his humor got me through the tough times, we'd talk, and in gym class, walk and talk every day, he was the friendliest person out of the years in Farrell that I am in right now, he made high school great for me. Vir Fidelis my friend!

We are absolutely heartbroken. David was part of our Our Lady Queen of Peace and Monsignor Farrell families. We love you, Dave and Peter. He was a wonderful boy. 💔

Our thoughts and deepest sympathies are with family, friends, and all who knew and cared for David. May the love and memories he leaves behind bring comfort in the days ahead. David  will always be remembered and forever missed. Truly gone too soon.

We have known the Pineda family for 12+ years and our sadness is so deep.  Our condolences to Dave and Peter in this time.  May God be with you.   May David rest in peace and prayers continue to go out for his family and friends.    The Ippolito family🙏

David was an extraordinary person. I coached him swimming and he was a highlight of practice, always joking around, always trying to pull one of on me by lane cutting, and smiling when he knew he was caught. Him and his brother were an awesome pair. Behind all that joking around was a polite, humble, and respectful person. He will surely be missed and my heart aches for his family and his friends.

Our deepest condolences to the Pineda family on this horrible loss. May god be with you. Our Monsignor Farrell community is with you. 
Christine Sheehan and family

Prayers and love. May you find peace and comfort in the days to come.
