Condolences

I am so sorry to hear this news.  I was a classmate of Dave's.  I ran into him a couple of years ago at a benefit he was DJing and he was the same fun-loving guy I remember from High School.  My condolences to all of his friends and family.  RIP Dave.

Dave has been a cherished friend of mine since school. We have kept in touch all through the years. I looked up to him as an inspiration in school for being so friendly, positive and outgoing.  We shared classes together and there was never anything that held him back with any limitations he had. After school we began the karaoke life after much nudging on his part.  My heart goes out to his family and the ones that were always by his side. He will be missed dearly. The wonderful smile, kind words, hugs and warm personality that was so full of life. It saddens me to see him go so soon.

Sorry for your loss. I am sending my thoughts and prayers to the family.  May God give you all the strength & comfort to move forward.  Dave was so awesome guy, I cherished many moments with him, myself and my husband thru sickness & joy.  The smiles, laughs and those big hugs of so glad to see ya warmth.  Our chats given each other encouraging words to get thru our tough times but we seemed to follow our hearts to the greatness of what we loved..... singing, enjoying the friendship of others and having a great time!!!!  Dave will be missed & love so dearly.  I know Dave and my husband~Junior are singing together & strumming that guitar  "Sarah Smile" together in Heaven.

I was so shocked and saddened to hear of Dave's passing. I hadn't seen Dave for years, however,  I only have the most happy memories of him.  He was so kind and caring. He always had a smile on his face. We always had the best fun in Mr Dull's English class. My thoughts and prayers go out to his family at this most difficult time.

Dave was one of my beat friends.  When times where down for me he picked me up and helped me get my life back. I’ll never forget all the phone times and crazy nights we hung out. The world will never be the same without such a fun and outgoing man. Will definitely miss the cooking and cheer he always brought

So very sorry about Dave's passing.  He was very special to me as I was one of his Sunday School teachers in Senior High at church.  He always had a beautiful smile on his face and was always a pleasure to have him a beautiful part of my life. Through the years we lost contact, but he will forever be in my heart and I know we will see each other again. I just always remember he was such a prankster expecially when our class would go on retreats, but he always looked after me.  Dave so happy that you have entered into Gods holy presence and have met Jesus face to face.  Wow, it doesn't get much better than that. You will always be remembered by me and will love you forever.

To Dave's Family, I am truely sorry for your loss. I've known Dave for many many years. Although we may not have seen each other as often as we'd like he was always there when I needed him. He was such an unselfish person and never thought of himself first. He put others in front of himself. I can not say enough kind words about Dave. My heart was broken and the tears came down even as I write this in disbelief. I hope it gives some comfort to know he is now free and with GOD for certain. He's your angel to watch over you. May God give you the strength to get though this difficult saddening time. My condulances to you and your family. Rest in Peace and sing to those angels Dave they will love it ! You will be dearly missed!
