My condolences go out to you Susan and your family. David was such a kind soul. His contagious smile will surely be missed at the corner store. Thoughts and prayers with you all!!
Hugs to the whole family. Susan, David was extremely special and the best parts of him are still here with you. His love, strength, vocal talents and humor have carried on in your children and grandchildren. I’m so happy to have had him as a part of my life. xoxoxo.
David was a fine man and an asset to our community. He will be sorely missed. Rest In Peace, David.
Susan I am so sorry for your loss, I am praying for you and the family for peace of heart and strength to get through this time of sorrow. David was a very special person a smile so big it lit up a room, His love for you and the whole family was the deepest love ever, may David rest in peace. I love you Susan I am here if you need anything.
Susan I am so heartbroken! I know David loved the LORD and his family above anything in this world. I pray that you and your family are surrounded by God’s comfort and peace as you celebrate your precious David’s life. I was astounded by his faith and his determination! He was a man full of integrity and love!
David will forever be missed by our family. We spent many times together camping, attending baseball/football games for our kids, eating out, and just hanging out. His positive attitude and seeing him driving his blue diamond was always a joy. Heaven has a great man at peace and enjoying every minute with our Lord and Savior. You will always be a part of our lives and the sweet memories will never fade…
David was a true gem. Always upbeat and encouraging, always with a kind word and a corny pun. His sense of humor and laugh were incredibly infectious. “One of a kind” may seem cliche, but with David it is most absolutely true. I will miss you my friend. Until we meet again. Love ya buddy.

Sincere condolences to David’s family. He was a great person who loved God and his family. He and I worked together for many years on various projects, but I also considered him a friend. He was always willing to help others. Rest in peace, David.
I never met David nor Susan face to face, yet I considered them both as close friends. We met thru the 5th END clan. My heart goes out to Susan and the kids
The Thompson will be in my prayers.

You are now in God’s hands and doing his work as an Angel to watch over your loved ones, etc. Till we see each other again, my dear friend, rest in peace. Love always…. Robin Barnes Rose.
I’m so sorry Susan for your loss, he was always so nice when I came to your house, back in the day. Godspeed David.
