It’s been two years since David left us.  It still doesn’t feel possible that he has left this earth.  Lord I pray that you are cradling this man in your loving arms and I pray a special blessing on Renee and girls on this day!

It is so hard to believe it has been a year. It also is surprising to me how often I think of him. When I do I always take that as a chance to pray and think about you and your family. May God continue to see you through. 
Jim Lagrone




We’ve known you for so many years all the way back to our school years.  You were a great man David and very well respected.  You will be greatly missed by all, RIP brother!!  Prayers for your family!!  

I remember David and the Bond girls first coming to FSBC. He was always so kind and loved people. I was lucky to call him friend and have him talk and eventually baptize my daughter, Rachel. I’m forever thankful for his kindness and friendship. This verse reminds me of David 
In simple humility, let our gardener,
God, landscape you with the Word,
making a salvation-garden of your
life. (James 1:21)

God bless your family. 
Love, Melody

Our hearts are heavy in learning of the passing of our friend David.  He was the kindest, sweetest man who always made you feel important and loved.  He will be sorely missed by so many of us.  We are praying for Renee and his girls.

Love,

The angels are celebrating  his arrival!  I remember when he was just a little guy!  We would drop in to visit his parents and he would  dance with delight that company had arrived.  We were blessed to see him as a pastor and know him as a friend.  Heaven became a better place when he arrived.   We who are left here will look forward to seeing Little David when we get there.

It is often said that the true character of a man is often reflected in the family he created. Having seen this displayed in his girls, I know what a great man he was. Prayers for Renee, Kelsey and Kassidy. I know his legacy will live on for generations. 


We thank the Lord for David's faithfulness to the Lord and His church! Praying for you!

I first met David in 1993 when my family and I moved to Arkansas and joined the ABSC staff. I enjoyed the delight and privilege of working with him through state convention music and worship ministry activities. The years deepened our friendship and prepared us for continued contact as he became one of our best online adjunct instructors. He was highly regarded by his students. 

It's an immense understatement to say that David is gone far too soon from our midst. Offering prayers for God's richest peace and blessing for all of David's family and friends.



Dear Renee and girls,
It is with a saddened heart that we heard about David’s passing.  We are so sorry we are out of town and can’t return the love that y’all showed us during the passing of our little Liam.  He loved you guys so much as we do also.  We are praying for peace for you and the family.  He was too young to be leaving us.  We will get over to see you when we get home.  May God give you comfort and peace during this time and please allow people to help you.
Love always,
Tom and Brenda Cockerham 

My fondest memories of David involve choir musicals. Working with him to put things together was so fun! Helping to plan the FSBC dinner theatres were some of the best times I had because of the laughter both in the planning and in the performances...it was pure joy! He had such a quick wit and did a great job preparing the choir and leading the church in worship each week. He was so young to have left this earth, but there is no doubt He is enjoying being with His Lord. My prayers are with his family who will miss him so much! I am truly glad to have known him. 

So sorry for the loss of David.  He was such a sweet man.  Praying for you all.

 I remember when they use to put the pictures of the staff on the church bulletin at FSBC and our daughter, who was little, cut his picture out and stuck it on her door because she liked him.  Lol.  She was maybe 5.

David was an incredible mentor and friend to so many including myself.  He will be missed throughout Arkansas , but he left such a legacy of showing your faith with grace, loving others and truly being a strong husband, dad and friend.  Prayers for Renee, the girls, his family, friends and all that he touched in Arkansas.  He will be missed.

Ethan and Kelsey, our prayers go out to you and your family for this untimely loss! Praying for God to give you strength in the weeks and months ahead to ease your grief. Although we did not know David it sounds like he lived a full and rewarding life but was taken way too soon!  Ron and Fran Sublette

Renee, Kelsey & Kassidy, We are heartbroken for you and I need you to know that when Ben and I met your husband and father, I had never met a young man who walked with God any closer than David did.  We had him in Hamburg for much too short a time and when your family left, our family;  Lori, Jonathan and Benjamin, and of course Ben and I never really filled the enormous hole you left in our lives. We love you and we will see you at visitation tomorrow night.  Praise God, the Father, the Son and the Holy Ghost that we will see David soon and we will never be without him again, forever and ever, Amen! 

I will always remember meeting David at a church in south Arkansas and inviting him to be a part of First Southern.  He and his family were/are greatly loved by the church.  He  had a positive and warm spirit and people would easily gravitate to him.  One of my favorite memories was when we took off and went to the St. Jude classic golf tourney.

David was in my class in school, and I have so many good and fun band memories with him since we sat together in the trumpet section. I had so much respect for him as a person. He will be missed by so many people. Love and prayers to his family

David was a great friend, a great co-worker, & a great servant of the Lord Jesus. After serving the Master faithfully in His fields, David has been called to serve in His presence. Patti & I are praying for Renee & the family.

What privilege to serve along side David and Renee at Harpeth Heights Baptist in Tennessee. Also, we grew up in the same church as kids and were members at First Southern Baptist in Bryant where he served on staff.  David was a great friend and awesome servant of God. Although we miss him here, David is praising his Lord in heaven forever. 

Continued prayers for you and your family.

Our deepest condolences for your loss. Our prayers are with the family for comfort through your sorrow.

I was very saddened to hear of David's passing. I crossed paths with David many times through the years, both at the state convention offices, at convention meetings, and in my home church. He was always so very helpful, friendly, and knowledgeable. He had a wonderful and gracious manner about him and was also wonderful in the pulpit. We have lost a great man and are all better for having known David. My prayers are with Renee and the girls. David will be sorely missed ... I sure will miss him.

I remember not too long after  David got his Ph.D and the guys on his team at the ABSC gave him a hard time about "how smart he was". He was doing a presentation about declining churches. He handled their ribbing with class and smarts. I knew then that he was special. Years later when I found out he had cancer, he again handled that journey with a class like I have never seen. I'll miss his class and heart for ministry and family. Love and peace to his family.

We were blessed when David came along with Marcus Brown and helped our church last fall after our pastor of 25 years went to a staff position in a different state.   He was a gifted preacher, and even more, a constant encouragement to our leadership team, our staff and our pastor search team. His bright smile, warm sense of humor and wisdom about interim periods were an added blessing during a challenging time.  His preaching was full of Biblical wisdom and concern for both the lost and those who follow Christ. Even in such a short period of time, he made an eternal impact at Parkway Place Baptist. We will be praying for your family. 

Thank you for your friendship and kindness. You are missed but we will fellowship again in eternity. We are keeping your family lifted up in prayer. 

You were one of a kind brother!  I will always remember our ski trips in high school and singing on the bus to and from baseball games.   Your smile and laughter were contagious.  Condolences to the family.  Rest in Love my friend.

Our sincerest condolences to Renee and the entire Bond family.  Prayers for peace and comfort that only Our Lord and Savior can give♥️
