David will be missed dearly. Thoughts and prayers for all. 

Teresa and Family, I’m so sorry for your loss of such a wonderful son & brother. David was such a fantastic person with the biggest heart a man could have. It didn’t matter when you saw him or regardless whom he or even yourself was with he was going to give you the biggest hug and kiss. If you were ever introduced to him you were a friend forever!! This cruel world needs more David’s in it. He made a remarkable mark on a lot of people. He will forever remain in my heart and memories!! My thoughts and prayers are with all the family.  RIP David and Fly high my friend you’ll always be loved and remembered. 

When I was around 10 years old I would everyday watch out the window for the most beautiful boy I'd ever seen to cross the street on his way home from school.  That boy was David, he grew into not only a beautiful man but I had the privilege to grow up with him.  We definitely gave our Mom's a few gray hairs along the way...  David was the most loyal friend, he loved myself, my girls and my family and was unconditionally always there for me with his love an continual support and one hundred percent honest with his advice.  I will so miss my beautiful friend!!  I send prayers for peace and comfort to Ms. Betty, Teresa, Mandy, Jake an Casey and family as my heart is so broken for your loss.  

David was like a little brother to me. We worked together when we started in the electrical trade. He was funny, sincere and dependable. It is very sad to hear of his passing. Love you Saucerhead! We had a great time together!

I first got to know David when he joined the National Guard company I was in, somewhere around 1976. We struck up a friendship right away,  along with Marty,  Rodney, Jeff and Greg.  Fond memories of the excursions and sheanigans we devised on our training camps!
David mentioned to me that he was needing a job and I asked him if he would be interested in electrical work. I liked David's personality and character, so I offered to recommend him to my boss. I did so, and my boss replied, "I trust your judgement so I'll hire him, but it will be up to YOU to make an electrician out of him."
David accepted the job and we worked together until 1988 when I left the company to go to work at Steelcase.  Those were great years! 
 aWe were best of friends and had a fantastic work relationship. David was a fast learner. He stayed with the company for several years after I left and the boss knew he had made a good decision when he hired him.

 I have a heavy heart for David's family and friends tonight !
He will be truly missed by many 
I first met David 41 years ago when I was 15 he was 17 back in the cruising days and have never met anyone quite like David.
Many fond memories over the years. 
Blessed to call him a friend 
R.I.P David 💔

Thanks for the friendship for so many years. Love you brother. 

My best memories of David was at grandma’s house where we would play together and we also had to help with garden things. The best memory I have we were shelling peas for grandma and it felt like we had shelled all day. Our fingers were really sore and David said I’ve been peaing all day in a whining voice. We all laughed so hard at him as he did not know what he had said. We were so young and the memories together are ever lasting. We love you David and you will always be in our hearts.

I knew David all my life.  I think about all the fun we used to have growing up.  David was always a good friend to me, I think about him and it makes me laugh . Deepest sympathy to all the family.  RIP David , always cared deeply for you, Joe. 

So  sorry to hear of your loss.  I have such great memories of the family on Timothy Lane.  Prayers for the family. Rest in peace, David,  you will be missed.

The Buff family will always remember your loving and caring ways and especially stepping up to be pallbearer for Bill and Boots.  I will miss  you at family gatherings and know God has special place for you.  Our love goes out to the family, girlfriend, and many friends. Love Cookie

David, 
 We spent many times golfing, and at the lake. I mowed the grass and played in the street. I remember falling on my skates and ripping nearly every nail on my hand and you almost passing out when I showed you haha you took me to the hospital and it was all good. But the most memorable thing about you was to always laugh and have a good time. Not many times were we not laughing or cutting up. Any time I seen you in town i was greeted with the same snicker and hand shake. I had some good times on the golf course my friend, I'm glad I got to spend part of my life around you. God bless you and yours.

Teresa

   I'm sorry to heard about David My thought and prayers are with you
