    Thank you big brother for all the fun times 25Dgrowing up together. You always made it interesting. I will remember all the jokes, pranks and the trouble we somehow were able to get out of. The family trips going to MS every year and hanging with cousins. Getting myself caught in the bull pasture and you running to get me out of harms way.. As we grew older, we had that sister- brother bond that no one could break, where I wanted to hang out with you and your cool friends. I would get that “you can’t go this time”. But I’ll make it up to you . Movie night was also fun! I would make you watch, one of my favorite Disney show, but I knew you wanted to be somewhere else or be doing something different, but you had a smile on your face to show you were being a good sport about it. Wow there are so many memories, too many to write down. I will hold onto them which make up a lifetime. I will miss your laugh, your funny jokes and the advice I got about life in general and the “guy talk”. I love you and will see you again one day. We can pick up where we left off. ❤️

    Dave had a great sense of humor and a big heart. We have many happy memories of family trips to the mountains, the beach, races and football games. Lot's of family Holiday meals together for Thanksgiving, Christmas time and more. Dave loved his family and was especially proud of his Daughter, Taylor and all her accomplisments. He was also proud to be part of the Space Shuttle SRB team. He is gone to young and will be missed. Rest in God's eternal peace Dave. Matt. 11:28. Love, Catherine

    My deepest prayers and condolences, to Dave's family, which includes my own family for Dave was my Brother-In-Law,
    but most especially, Taylor, Christian & Walker, James & Sophie, Marie & David, and Connie. We miss you Dave. We miss your smile & jokes, your full-scale laugh, your 2 hour phone calls (which just so ya know, I've taken up your mantle and continued that tradition of driving the family crazy with too long calls, hehe). I'm sure you're are so proud to see how those you've had to leave behind while answering the call to your new heavenly mission, have moved quickly to see that your service to our country and your memory are properly honored with a military memorial service and resting place. Don't worry, you will never be forgotten, you've left with us a beautiful, intelligent, daughter, and another outstanding smile on the face of your fine grandson. See you again on that great day coming when we are all gathered together with our Lord.
