Uncle Dave...where do I start? I have many fond memories of time spent with you starting with my first set set of stitches, which I got helping you and Bill fold up your cots, to the family taking a day trip out to CA to spend a day with you before you shipped off and you gave us those foil food rations, to what turned out to be your favorite “Greg” story to tell when you picked me up and tossed me over your shoulder after a long road trip to Texas for Bill & Rhonda’s wedding and I puked all over your back! I am glad me, Sam and the kids got to spend a little bit of time with you back in 2016 when we came out your way. I will always cherish my time spent with you and am proud and honored you were my uncle.  RIP Uncle Dave...We love you.

I only met David and Brenda once. It was for Bill and Rhonda’s wedding. I was their matron of honor and he was their best man. They were both kind and welcoming. God bless you all.

I had the privilege of working with Dave on several projects at the warehouse in Memphis.  His computer skills and work ethic made him a person you could rely on to get things done, but more striking than his skills, was his humility and kindness. 

I pray that the Lord will comfort Dave's family and friends, knowing that he is enjoying his eternal home.  Dave will be missed by me and all who have had the opportunity to know him.

I worked with Dave on multiple projects at the Memphis PDC where he worked.  Dave was working third shift inbound while the rack project was going on and was always ready to help out at a moment's notice whether it involved completing part moves, completing a change in the system or just to answer a question.  He was very committed to his work and I always knew that I could depend on him for the job to get done and well beyond expectations.   He was the go-to guy for anything that I had questions on in Memphis.  In the time I worked with Dave and got to know him, I found out that he cared deeply about his family, friends and country and I always held him in high regard.  We shared many of the same beliefs and views and he was a man that was well respected where he worked and he just had the kind of integrity and character that you know you could count on him to do as he said and he always did.  I was very saddened by the news of his passing, but I know that one day I will see him again.  RIP my friend.
