I’m so sorry to hear of David's passing. For people who don’t know, David was my neighbor on Pine Place Dr. for many years, and we shared countless good times with him and Susan. 
David was hands down the best “true” story teller I have ever met, and I loved to hear him tell of his experiences. David led a live that most people aspire to , and kept his great sense of humor in the process. 

Rest in Peace buddy!

 Susan, I’m sorry being so late to the party. Kathy passed on Dec. 31, 2020. I hope David was there to greet her. 

Love you both!       


I remember back in the Ogden and David Crockett days.  Memories fade, but not the sweet, open face and personality that he presented to the world. Amazingly, I think my son Charles was in the Old Guard in DC when David was in the Secret Service; they might have shared a meal in the White House or been near the President or other dignitaries.  I’m going to ask him.  Regardless, I’m glad that David lived the potential reflected in his  eyes.  He loved and was loved; that’s the important thing.

Dearest Susan, 
I’m so sad for your loss. I only met David once, but could see what a good person he must have been. 
Thinking  of you always. Much love and peace to you and your family.
Susan 

When I got to the presidential detail I was handed samples of Dave's work. I was told to do it Dave's way because he did it the best. If I had questions Dave was there and showed a lot of patience with myself and others. We all had enormous respect for him and Dave will always be one of those special people in my career that I will always remember. Rest in Peace my friend. 

Sorry to hear of Dave's passing.  I worked with Dave for three years when both of us were secret service agents together in the Houston Secret Service office.  He was an excellent agent and trusting comrade .  Dave always had your back which was important in that line of work.  He was a good man and served his country with pride and dignity.  I was proud to have known and worked with Dave.

Dave and I worked together as US Secret Service agents in the Houston office.  I was from Port Arthur,  and we immediately shared that Jefferson County brotherhood. He was definitely one of the good ones and was always a pleasure to work, laugh and share time with.  Dave was an excellent, well respected, agent and great, caring person.  I pray that you find peace, Susan, with the assurance that Dave is in eternal peace in the arms of Our Loving Lord Jesus...See ya later friend. 

Susan, so sad to hear about David.  I remember when yal first came to our life group.  Dave would turn around and look at us with his serious look.  Not until we got to know him did we understand that look.  I remember how fun he was at the Christmas party, with all the paper wrapped around him.

My sincere condolences to David’s family. I will always remember his smile and twinkling eyes.  I hope many memories will bring you comfort in the days ahead. He will be missed by many.

Farewell, my good friend.  You'll always be remembered as one of my best respected friends, a fine police officer and partner.  May God fill the void in the hearts of David's family that his passing has left...  Carl Sensat

David and I started with the Beaumont Police Dept. in 1968 and I remember his smile and quiet way about him.  He was a really good officer.  I remember him when he was with the Secret Service and standing behind the President on television as the President was speaking.  I know, as many others do, that he was a very honorable and dedicated man to his country and family.  I remember seeing him when he was back in town on several occasions.  May you rest in peace Brother in Blue.  

Deepest condolences to Adam and his family.


I am very proud to be able to say that David is my uncle, he was the reason I also I joined the Beaumont Police Department. One of the highlights of my career was to get to work with Uncle David on a Vice Presidential visit. I was looking through some old photos and found this photo of Uncle David and Adam.

Worked with David at Beaumont PD. He was a great man. While on a visit to Washington DC, David was on President Reagan’s, detail. I called him and it was his day off. He told me to meet him at the White House as the President was at Camp David. I went and he showed me all around the non public areas. This was David Reynolds. I am honored to call him friend. May he Rest In Peace and prayers for his family.

I had the privilege of meeting  David through my late husband, Charles E. Hill.  In the early 70's they worked together as officers in the BPD and then, as fate would have it, they found themselves together again in 1999 at mortuary school in Houston.  Charles and David  had an ongoing joke about "donuts" in which they would take turns  buying a dozen donuts in the morning before mortuary classes at Commonwealth.  They would meet in the parking lot and the one with the donuts would hold the box up.    Then as the other approached the vehicle,  the one with the donuts would quickly raise the car window and proceed to eat the entire dozen.  They never tired of telling this story and have probably reunited in heaven, still laughing about donuts.

Charles and David stayed in touch as often as possible during their funeral service careers and into retirement.  Sadly, as they both experienced failing health, we lost touch and were unable to reach David.  Then one day, totally unexpected, David called and they had a good conversation.  That was the last time, they spoke and Charles passed away not long  afterwards.  I am not sure that David knew of the death of his "donut eating" buddy, but am confident that they have met once again.

On a serious note,  Charles always had the utmost respect for his longtime friend and partner in crime.  He was especially proud of David's work in the Secret Service and held him in the highest of esteem.

Sincere, heartfelt condolences to Susan and family on the loss of your beloved David.

In Sympathy,
Charlotte Hill (widow of Charles E. Hill)

I was blessed to know David for 30+ years and loved him every minute. He was a confidante and friend to me and an amazing Grampa to Chris, Michael and Kathryn.  They absolutely adored him!!  I loved listening to his stories and laughing at his sarcasm.  He also had a very sensitive side so we shed tears together.  He will always be in my heart and i will love him forever.  I know that he and Michael are together in Heaven laughing at me and Susan !! Til we meet again my dear friend 😘💙✝️  

Dave and I worked together in Houston as he was finishing his career and I was beginning mine. Dave was always willing to take a new agent under his wing and show them the ropes. Many of my fondest memories are of traveling and working with Dave. I will remember him as a true gentleman who always treated others with respect and kindness.

So sorry for your loss.  Dave was a great man, good partner in Secret Service, and a dear friend.  He taught many the intricate details of motorcade security.  His stories during protective assignments kept all of us from going bonkers.  I have nothing but fond memories of him, he will be missed by many.  I hope you can have some peace knowing that Dave touched many lives and was loved and respected by everyone that knew him.  Our thoughts and prayers are with the family.

We spent many wonderful times with David and Susan. David was instrumental in seeing that my 70th Birthday Bash was a great success. We had such “fun” putting my video to music 🎶. David truly knew and LOVED his music 🎼. Now you will be hearing the Heavenly Choir. RIP DAVID.  Sharon and Lonnie 💕

David had a quality/gift that not many people have, it only took one visit with him to fall in love with this admirable man and so many of us can relate to this.  He was my best friend and more like a father to me; I’m missing him already, love you sweet David; until we meet again.

David,
I so remember our wonderful times as neighbors on Pines Place!  I can see you rolling your eyes every time Susan and I talked about re-decorating!!  You would scurry off to your office, which by the way was very impressive with all your memorabilia!  Till we meet again!
Love to you Susan.

I met David when we worked at Rosewood Funeral Home together.  He was a great friend,  always a smile and a good word.  Later we both started going to Northeast Houston Baptist Church together and also went to the same small group together with his sweet wife and my husband.  So many good memories of David.  So sorry to his family for his loss.  He will be missed by many.  He served his country in many high places in the Secret Service.  He is now home in Heaven with our Lord and Savior.  Bless all of his family . 

David was a young Beaumont Police Officer when I was a young Assistant City Attorney back in the early 70s. I never knew a finer fellow than David and we easily bonded as friends. David went off to the Secret Service about the time I became an Assistant U.S. Attorney in the Eastern District of Texas. I recall once I was in Washington for training and I contacted David who was then on President Reagan's detail. We met up on a Saturday and he gave me a private tour of the White House, Oval Office, Cabinet Room, and the Beast which was in a private SS garage. I'll never forget that weekend. I'm so sorry I lost contact with David. Turns out we were both in Houston after our federal service but I could never find him. Rest in peace my dear old friend.
