One of Dave’s many gifts was encouragement. He had the incredible ability to relate to people and empathize with their situations and struggles. He would always try to use humor to make people feel comfortable in uncomfortable situations often with himself as the punchline. He would encourage using his time, his wisdom, his talents but mostly he would encourage by modeling grace, humility and integrity. Dave’s tender heart, his passion for life and his care and concern for people has left a legacy of love for us all.
