David Holder Obituary

Remembering a great friend on his birthday. My thoughts and prayers are with all of you remembering him this day as well. I met Dave playing spades online under the nickname of Merlin. What an adventure knowing him was.



I met a magical man one day.

The Merlin of storybooks, He did portray.

With His Mystical air, those who knew Him would say…

One sweep of His Wand wiped all troubles away.

Through the lands, As He Wandered, His purpose seemed clear,

Seizing the moment while spreading good cheer.

Yes, Each day filled with sunshine once He did appear.

A laugh , Where before, there was only a cry.

A push , When there was no will to try.

A story, To teach in an innocent way.

A game, When there was no other to play .

Mesmerizing to watch, Entertaining to hear.

Time spent with that Magical Man, I endear.

A true renaissance man ,He was thru and thru

Barbaric in nature with Smooches that flew

Hard on the outside, With a heart lined in gold

Sometimes too soft , And Sometimes too bold

Nobly he struggled, Thru his own duel with life

Never weighing one down with his worries or strife

The pain kept inside was a pain that few knew

Then this Magical life, God, it ended too soon

He vanished away, the pain it runs deep

But forever inside of my heart here I’ll keep,

All those pieces of Magic He left here for me.

Our friendship on earth, has come to an end.

Forever I’ll Miss Him, Good-bye my dear friend

I’ll reminisce always, write your name in the sand

Rest in peace, God be with you,

You Magical Man

I was very sad to hear the news of Daves passing. He was a very dear friend to me and will be greatly missed. Dave was a sweet and warmhearted individual that always made people around him smile.. especially with all of his own unique little sayings...

My deepest sympathy goes out to all of his family

I just found out about Daves passing a few days ago. I never met him but knew him from online and spoke on the phone.He always made me smile. And we shared our fears about his and my illness. My most sincere sympathies to his family.God Bless you all

I met Dave "MAGIC" on line in a game room. We became dear friends from the first hello. He meant much more to me than someone to play spades with. We talked a lot. And he shared with me his pain and his fears. I loved the joy of life that he expressed in everything he said and did. My most sincere sympathies to his family. He will not be forgotten. He will be forever missed.

I just found out today 8/17 that Dave has passed away my sympathy goes to his family i never met dave except online he was a very special person to me we shared many laughs he was very fond of his family and always said good things bout them esp his grand son he was his pride and joy may u rest in peace dave u will always be remembered

Love Rhonda, Anthony, Dana, LaRhonda, and Sassy....

Although I never met Dave Sr., I know his son David. I work with Dave at UPS. I wanted to extend my sympathies to Dave and his family. Dave, your father must have been a wonderful man to produce a son who is so kind and caring. You and your family will be in my thoughts and prayers.

Dave and I worked together a few years ago. He was a wonderful co-worker and friend. A few of my siblings worked with us as well and Dave truly became part of our family too. He always knew how to make people laugh and how to make the best out of any situation. He will be greatly missed. Our thoughts and prayers are with his family.

Love,

Stacy Berendt & the Ferguson Family

I met David through his son, Anthony. When I met him, my favorite baseball team (the Redsox) had just beaten his favorite team (the Yankees) in the world series. We had such a good time digging at one another about each other's team. I made a good friend that day. I will truly miss him and every time I watch the Yankees play, I will think of him.



Love and best wishes to his family.

Melody

Marion,

My deepest sympathy for you and your family.
