Everytime I listen to songs we grew up with and I remember how much fun we had. You felt more like a brother than a nephew. And I will never forget the memories.

Seems like yesterday, that I last seen you. For me its like you never left your just on one of your vacations enjoying life. And we'll see eachother at the next family gathering. And then I snap out of it and realize it isn't what i want it to be. We miss you and never forget how much we love you. How you make us laugh, how you showed us how to live life. How you showed us you loved us as we love you. They say time heals wounds, but our wounds healed but not forgotten. You have joined the list of family we love and miss dearly. So this christmas we will say a prayer for you and always remember your in our heart and minds.
We love you, so much it hurts.

Dave & me met just a few years ago.Known about each other for a few more than that. Lupe said we have each others eyes.And when we were babies we look like twins. We are only 4 months apart but, come from the same man. I enjoyed the time you flew me to Chicago to get to know you. My first words to you were "You're so handsome". You laughed with a big smile!! It made my heart skip a beat to see in you some of me. I will keep you close in my heart & soul. You took me out & I asked you to dance you stood there all strong & said no.It took me one more time to ask & you said "Yes". I will have that always with me. Many knew nothing of me or the story behind me. But, you knew & loved me as I love you!!! Love your sis Stef

Dave, Wow!!!! No words can explain what kind of person you are. I know deep down in my heart if I was freezing you would take the shirt off your back,If I drifting down the wrong path you were there
to steer me in the right direction.
We had a lot of unbelieveable times together and we had some differences but all in all you were always there for me as were you there for many, and for that I can not thank you enough. I hope you know I love you and will miss you dearly, and I will be there for the Kids in any way I can.
You were a friend that no one can ever replace and nothing will be the same without you.
You will always be in my heart

Dave,
I don't know where to begin..Its been awhile since I've seen you, but its no less painful to say Goodbye now as it would have been a few years ago. We've had our ups and downs, but in the end I'm glad we were still friends. This is the way it should have always been and the way I will remember you. You will be missed.
To dave's beautiful children,
You've all grown to be wonderful young adults. Your Dad still watches over you..He will always be with you. The thing I admired most about your dad was the great love he had [still has] for you.
Girls, Alisha and I love you! You always have family in Indy if you need us.
Theresa,
My heart goes out to you! You stuck by Dave through the good and bad. He was truley blessed to have you in his life. Stay strong and take care.
Our hearts go out to the rest of Daves family and close friends.
We also hope and pray for Scott to make a full recovery

I know we really haven't been close for a while but as teenagers you were like a brother to me. Remember when we tried to date? i couldn't do it cuz it was like kissing my brother lol! You were always a great person with a heart like no other, always willing to help anyone in need. I will miss you always and my kids miss their uncle Dave, especially Matt. You were always so good to them and took them to Indiana for weekends and thats what they remember, time spent together. Please help my sister through this! You are her soulmate Dave, the love of her life. She will never love another like you! Rest In Peace Dave! We will never forget you! LOVE YA!

Reading all of these letters, I am so relieved to here that you have touched so many lives as you have mine. Take these special letters of love with you and read them at your leisure.

I just wish he would have been more patient. That's right, To me you will never be gone. To me, your just on vacation!
Love You Brother! Theo.

Dave, I grew up always seeing your beautiful smile, watching you grow into this Charismatic man, that I was proud to know. The tragedy of losing you is to much for me to bare and I was just a friend. I can only imagine how devastating this must be to your mom, your dad, brothers & sisters, Theresa & your kids. I will always remember & cherish the good times You, me and Vicky had together. Theresa, Monica, Vanessa, Cindy, Nick, & Dave jr. Not to mention the rest of your huge family, I will pray for all of you to find the strength to deal with this terrible loss. I will keep you all in my heart, thoughts & prayers. Dave, I think we have all been blessed just having known you. God Bless you Dave, I'll miss you!

Wow. I was so sorry to hear the news about Dave's tragic death. He's been a very special friend for years, from the lake. Even now that I've been on the east coast for years, I couldn't wait till summer to come home & visit & HOPE that "Chicago Dave" was in town. I've read what others have said & it's all so very very true. Dave was a great guy, a great friend, someone who lived life to the fullest. This is obviously a hard time for you, his close family & friends, but just know that God musta had bigger plans for Dave, for taking him away so early. I can still see that big smile of his. Dave, thanks for all the laughs & the best damn tamales I've ever had. ~ Taya (Cook) Dianna, formerly of Monticello, now Wilmington, DE

Hey Dave,
You will be missed by alot of people here at the campground. You were always smiling and so friendly and caring. I can remember every year when you came in to pay your lot rent your first question was always "How was your health over the winter". It seemed liked no matter what was going on in your life you were always concerned for others. I will really miss you. To your family I am so sorry for your loss Dave was a great guy. The campground will not be the same. Good Bye Dave and Bless you all. Pam from the campground office.

Every year i couldnt wait for David to come down to florida and spend that little time with us.
making us laugh becuase of the stupid jokes he use to make.
Being his little sister he always picked on me but never left without giving me a hug and telling me how much he loved me.
I loved my brother very much and will always remember him for how kind and giving he was.
May Jehovah remember him and bring us back together again.

It has been nothing but laughs and good times since we last hung out. Los' party, thanksgiving and the day before thanksgiving. Why did you take Jordan and I to Murphys? The crowd was over 40. LOL well Dave, should we tell everyone you like to take your clothes off in the parking lot of the grocery store! Remember how your pants fell off, that was too funny. Or when you fell asleep on the burrito. Dave these where the good times and I will always remember them because I have never seen you smile so much. Hey big brother I love you, and I will see you soon.
