Dave, we all miss you so much, our lives have been turned upside down since losing you. There isn't a day that goes by that i don't think about you and your big, bright smile. I still can't believe you are gone and it just sucks!!! I will never understand why you were taken from us so soon. You are always in our hearts and thoughts. We love and miss you always.
Love,
Jennifer C
Sigh...so it has taken me a bit of time to put together my thoughts, my feelings and a great deal of strength to share them openly! Dave (Davey, Junie and Brother are what I called him the most) was my big brother. He was absolutely the greatest big brother to me, always my protector...always! Dave was 6 years older than me. I can remember the hours upon hours sitting in the stands cheering him on playing football and basketball! As we grew older i can remember being “sibling terrified” of the grumpy version of Davey but always knew that regardless of his grumpiness he was always super sweet to me. No matter the situation or the place we were in our lives, if I needed him, I knew I could count on him! Because of our lives, our commitments, we have not been as close as we should have been in the recent years. In my heart I always thought that it was “okay”, that we had busy lives. I regret that more than anything! I am sorry that I didn’t make myself more available. I am sorry that I didn’t insist in seeing him more. I am sorry for so much! I know that Dave knew I loved him, I know that I was always his baby sister and I truly know that he loved me so much! I so wish we could have more time! I will forever miss him and his his smile! He will always be in my heart and I know for sure he will continue to protect me! He is with a few of the greatest men in my life, men who have helped me become the person I today! Each day I will feel a little safer know that I have Junie, Uncle Mickey, Pop Joe and Pop Pete looking down on me, along with some amazing grandmothers...oh the stories they are probably sharing! I miss you big brother and love you so very much...forever your Sissy. ❤️ Jennie
Dave it still breaks my heart that your gone. I remember growing up you were always there for me. Coached me playing sports, every now and then playing madden with me but most importantly you were always teaching me on how to become a man, a provider, and a good husband one day. I remember when my mom was leaving you and moving to California she tried to get me to move with her because I was her son and you made the argument that I had every right to live with you too because I was like your son as well. You weren’t just a stepdad to me you were like another father to me. Your time definitely came way to soon but god has a reason for everything he does and I know he took you home where you can forever be happy. Dave I love you and I will miss you for the rest of my days but I know I will see you again one day.
-love your third son

Cousin David was a bit older than me and my bothers, he even babysat us at times when we were younger. I always felt that my father had a good relationship with Dave when we were growing up. I thought cousin David had such a kindness about him in his smile and eyes. My heart goes out to his children, and immediate family. Keep his happy memories alive by always keeping him in your heart and find some kind of piece knowing he is in heaven looking down and smiling down on all of you.
Love to you all xoxoxoxo... Stephanie Pierson
Dave was my very first nephew and I was so proud & excited that I now was an official Aunt. He was a chubby little redhead that everyone wanted to hold. He grew into a goodhearted and hard-working man and saying good-bye so soon is truly heartbreaking. Dave will be deeply missed but never forgotten by all of us who love him.
Love to all.............Aunt Sue
I knew Dave when we were pre-teens/teens in West Bay Park. Although I haven't seen him since the early 80's, I have a lot of fond memories. My sincere condolences to the family. ❤️
