The world has lost a great spirit and a family a passionate man. My heart goes out to all who loved David.

I watched this guy during our high school days pursue all that made his heart sing. He always had a smile on his face and a spring in
his step! A short 5-7 years ago
David appeared on A-Dock (River Hills) and
stopped by my boat with another precious friend to say hello and share their story. I had
never felt so happy for someone else than I did on that day. Their story was the fairytale ending that most of us never get- or at least it seemed that way.

I wish peace and healing for those who loved David, so that their lights may keep burning bright. Keep his spirit alive in your daily walk- for I know that his smile and laughter will be missed. Hugs and prayers...
