I am very sorry to hear the sad news. David was a fraternity brother and a good friend at Knox College. He was well liked by all who knew him and an inspiration to one and all.

I will never forget Father David.  He and Mrs. Eckley helped me through a challenging time in my life.  I am a better person because of both of them.  I will forever remember  Father David’s sense of humor and constant joy and faithfulness to his Lord. 
My love and prayers to Mrs. Eckley and family. 
Much love
Tammy Childress

Father David was so very kind. He wanted people to love God and realize how God loved them.

And nobody could picture him without those who love him around. 

Fr. with his love of his life, Vasilicki..When he gave her Communion you could actually see a light between them as her eyes met his every time. They would appear 50 years younger for just a moment. Hi was my confessor. Eternal memory, good Father!
