For David’s family, sorry for your loss. I remember him for the many years as we both grew up at Centenary Methodist Church. He was a great guy and a good friend.

I went to Bellevue High with David. I still remember his sense of humor and can see that big smile of his.

David was a great coach and teacher of life through the game of basketball. Some of my favorite childhood memories involve him, Barbara , Keith and Brian. Many family get-togethers, swimming, grilling and laughing. Memories of basketball/baseball and David’s sense of humor are things that I will always cherish. RIP Coach.

Although it has been almost two decades since we worked together at SAI, I remember David’s humor and brotherly advice like it was yesterday. Barbara – I always admired the love you and David shared. You have my condolences.
