Hello, Dave your mussed wvery day. I know your family misses you. Your so missed.

Not a day goes by, that I don't miss this man. He was the savior of the animals. And his love for the animals and the people he met helping him was awesome.
Every time I see the the truck it brings a smile to my face, but also a sadness. No one I mean no one can take this man's place. God bless you Dave and your family.

There was five years difference in our ages David being a younger brother. While David was going through a divorce with our parents I was getting married going to Vietnam living a life from family moving to Florida so it made our relationship and connect most difficult but these last year‘s David and I became very close and enjoyed our times together and  I miss him a lot he was a good brother and friend

Some of my earliest memories were seeing my first rainbow, watching Saturday morning cartoons with a bowl of scrambled eggs and ketchup, ridding Adolf and frog legs in the freezer.  I always looked forward to the holidays and fishing trips. I sure wish there would have been lots more of those. 

I love you Dad and I’ll miss you every day. 

Dave. May all the angels be with you. I miss you every day. Keep your smile and you and Gene . No fighting over the remote. Miss you..I had a big glass of ice tea today. Just for you  bless you and miss you    I am sure Codie shared mahomes with you. My heart is so broken 💔...

One of my favorite memories of David was when as the rest of the big city cousins would come to Mound City Kansas and share with us their comic books and fishing trips.  David left our house one time with a brand on his stomach from our fuel oil heater. It was a perfect triangle shape.  

The boys came down one time with a pair of boxing gloves which they put on me and my brother Harold and preceded to have us kill one another. They thought that was great fun. We will miss David greatly.   

I have pondered how to summarize my thoughts and relationship with David Myers, my brother-in-law, for some time.

I first met David when he was around 12 and I was 17, dating his older brother, Gary.  I remember David being in the middle of  wrestling matches with his two older brothers, of course, he was the underdog.  I was on his side and would try to get them to stop.  As soon as they did, David would come back for more.  I guess he wasn't a victim but was enjoying himself.

Our last real visit was when he and his family came to Florida on vacation.  They covered much of Disney, we told him we wanted him to return so we could show him the non-tourist side of Florida.  Gators, birds and wildlife......that was more up his alley.  My heart hurts because  it  never happened. 

I loved seeing David settle down with Kathy, seeing how much he loved his children.  As years  passed when I looked at David, I see my husband, Gary - they looked more and more alike.  We loved David and miss him.


David and I were together a lot when we both were much younger, 
we would ran errands for his mother, Margaret.   
At Thanksgiving and Christmas our families would have great 
dinners and just enjoyed being together.   Playing pitch was a
great memory I will always keep in my heart.   I will miss him so
much.


One of my favorite memories from my childhood was when Dad, Uncle Gary, and Uncle David would get together. They always had so much fun together, making each other laugh, sharing their Myers sense of humor, and loving their children.
As an adult, I'll always remember watching (and sometimes, playing myself) him play Pitch with Grandpa Myers, Mom, Lloyd, Kim, and Brandon.
People just liked being around him. He was so funny & could make us all smile, but he had a stubborn streak sometimes too! He will be greatly missed.

It’s still very hard to believe you are gone!!  I thought you were Super Man!!! You will be missed by many especially Aunt Kathy and Cody!!!  I will always love you and will miss our pitch games on holidays!!!  Thanks to you, Brandon will be able to step in for you!!!   Enjoy that rainbow 🌈 bridge in heaven!!!  Make sure to tell my dad how much I miss him and hug grandma and grandpa Myers for me!! I will miss your handsome face!!! ❤️😢

I was so very saddened to hear the news about David.  For the last 5 years I have seen David regularly as my Animal Control guy in Belton.  As an avid animal rescuer and activist, David was my go to guy I would see when he came to pick up my ferals I would feed and then trap, so David could safely get them to Wayside Waifs. He was always so kind and caring and very nice to me. He always told me how proud he was of me doing what I did. And I would tell him the animals were lucky to have him being their liason and voice. He loved animals too, and treated them gentle and with care. I will miss him! Warmest condolences to his family. May God watch over you  during this horrific time. 

I first met Dave in 2012 at the annual MACA conference. He was such a great guy. The conferences wont be the same without you there. I'm so sorry for your loss. We will all miss you!

Kathy, I’m so sorry to hear of the loss of your husband.  You and your family will be in my prayers.

Kathy and family, we are saddened to learn of the loss of David. Please know you are in our thoughts. Wishing you peace and comfort during this hard time. We're grateful our boys grew up together and we were able to become friends. David had a fun, loving, very onery demeanor we will miss.

I really enjoyed  the time we spent together at Wayside Waifs. I worked in receiving and was blessed with Dave's visits. One evening, a Belton patrol officer brought in a black Labrador that decided to pin me against the wall. Luckily the officer was able to pull the dog off before he attacked. The next day Dave came in and I showed him the dog. As a joke We nicknamed the dog "Dangerous Dave". Funny thing is, Dave and "Dangerous Dave" seemed to get along just fine.  The dog was picked up by the owner and returned by squad car many times from jumping the fence late a night. Even the officers would leave notes on my desk like "Dave's back, watch your back". 
Dave I'm so sad to hear of your passing. You were a neat guy. 

I like to put Dave, we had a lot of fun with the dogs.  You were always very helpful, whether it be a cat, a dog, or wildlife.  On the hot days, Dave would call and say, "Hey girl, you got my favorite tea made? I'll be there in three minutes, large glass with a lot of ice."
Dave was always helpful in a crisis.  In 19 years of friendship, he was my best friend.  Dave's heart was bigger than he was.  He will be truly, truly missed, but never forgotten.  May he rest in peace, I love you my friend.   Love to his family, 

Your best friend Bonnie Minkler.

David and I had a very special relationship.  As a member of the rescue community, we crossed paths often.  I remember him coming over, and when I invited him in, he said, "well, your house is lived in."  😂  We had our fair share of arguments; he definitely didn't spare me from his sharp tongue.  
The last memory I have of him was about 6 months after a big argument.  I had trapped a dog that he was trying to get for a while.  When he showed up to get the dog, we had a really nice conversation and agreed that we are both very passionate people.  We left with a hug and a mutual respect for eachother and a promise to help eachother in the future.  I am so sad that we weren't able to continue to build on that.  
We will miss you, Dave.  

The first time I met Dave was because of my dog climbing the fence. He had escaped and Dave followed him back to our house. Dave didn’t take him to doggy jail that day but, was happy that he made it back home safe and sound. Over the years, you could always expect a wave or short friendly chit chat when he was out and about. The last time I saw Dave was when I found a dog that had been attacked. He rushed her to Wayside Waifs and it ended up saving her life. He called me a few days later to update me on her condition. Truly an amazing man. Prayers to his family. He will truly be missed in our community. 

I have worked with Dave every since he became animal control helping him better the life for lost, abandoned and stray animals of all kinds. He will always hold a special place in my heart. Loved our friendship and will miss him dearly .
Last thing he told me was I was a very special friend and to continue to do the work with the animals. Dave I will and in your memory. Kathy I'm here  if you need to talk. Much love .

Dave,
I just learned of your passing and I’m shocked! So sorry to his wife and family!
I remember every time we met up, wether it was because of my dog biscuit escaping to steal the lovin of the neighborhood females, or when I called you to my job about a injured duck, who scared us when she jumped up and cane after you, or just crossing paths and chitchatting about random things! 
You’re smile was a ray of sunshine, and you’re laugh was captivating! You will be greatly missed!!

I met David 2 years after I moved to belton  we became friends almost immediately he would always stop just to say hello an to see if me an my kids was ok he would always give the kids candy  u will be forever missed my friend till we meet again 


We will miss seeing you mowing in your straw hat & hearing you coming home from work each day always knowing there would be a friendly wave. Don & Teresa

The circle of Life...
I met David in 1978 and we have been Brothers ever since. 
We both did alot of wild and crazy things back then. I met him playing pool in a Merriam KS  bar. Our friendship went from there.
Kathy and Cody have written an obituary that is absolutely correct. 
David would give you the shirt off his back. And feed you before himself. He was a man of his word. 
As a friend he would defend you, protect you, teach you. I learned a ton from David.
Yes at times he was hardcore almost being mean. Yet 98%  of the time he would be in the right.
His love for all animals was the utmost.  I will never forget we were downtown KCMO , and driving passed a pond in a small park. David all of a sudden pulls over yelling," did you see that ?". I said ," no l didn't. " From the street he saw a snapping turtle in the pond.!!!
So needless to say he found a sizable  branch and caught that turtle.  His mouth looked almost like a birds beak. And he held onto that stick like he was glued to it. That was a crazy afternoon. 
I could go on and on but will stop for now and just say, " he was a hell of a man." Rest in Peace David. God loves you.

Dave was a good guy. I worked with him for several years in animal control when I was with Raymore Police Department. He was always there when I needed help and we went to conference he always watched over me especially after the loss of my parents. He will be dearly missed. Rest in peace my friend,  I’ll see you again someday.

One of my favorite memories David was when he helped me get rid of a skunk that I trapped in the back behind my dental office. I was trapping squirrels that has been playing havoc with a transformer that was in the back of my office. The transformer surged and ruined $18,000 worth of equipment. 
David was my hero and was able to release the skunk from my trap. I asked how he was able to do this. He told me that he did not want to give away any trade secrets! He was a fantastic patient and friend. He will be missed. 

So very saddened to hear of Dave's passing. Not blood related, but, always thought of him as a big brother.  His laugh and silly boyish humor will be missed. I appreciate his devotion to you. Love to you, Kathy, and your family.

My heart is so sad knowing I won’t see you sitting in your camouflage chair the next time I come over. You were by far my favorite uncle, I will miss our talks. You always let me know the truth when I asked you a question, I was even scared to ask sometimes because I knew without a doubt you’d let me know the truth. Everyone thought you were too hard, but I was lucky enough to know your heart and there was most definitely a soft side. 

My favorite memory will always be our tickle fights at the Grandview house, sometime i would get mad at you for tickling me until i couldn’t breath. That and you walking up to Danny shortly after I found out I was pregnant and asking “when do you plan on getting married?” Haha. You never held back, it’s what made you who you are. 

Thank you for also being an amazing great uncle to my children, they love you so much. A piece of our hears are forever with you. 

Rest In Peace uncle David, I love you always.

There are lots of memories of David since our boys grew up together. He was a great man and will be missed. We are praying for your family.

Will, Susan, Cameron, Ciara, Blake, and Jaxson

Saddened by news of David, we had many great times together, especially remembering the St patty days we spent together at the bar in grandview, starting early in the morning...Don't think David knew what to make of me at first because we had became such good friends at IRS, , then he finally realized I was harmless...miss you both dearly!! Take care and God bless, your friend always!!! Tom Fisher

I was shocked to hear this news.  He was my Crossword Puzzle Friend and got me started on them several years ago.  Dave would go out of his way to take care of the animals.  It was nothing to see him driving around with someones Dog in the riders side of the Truck, and he was taking it home.  He was loved my all that knew him.  Kathy Prayers are with you and the Family !  RIP Dave you will be Missed!!!

I am so sorry to hear of Dave's passing. I have known him over 20 years through MACA.  It will be odd not seeing him at the yearly fall conference.  We will miss you!! 

I'am so sorry to hear of Dave passing away. He was a very nice man. I will always remember him smiling & waving when he passed my house. Be at Peace, Dave. Prayers to his wife & family. Sincerely,  Millie Tyler.
