David was a wonderful nephew..and I found out early on…he did not like to have his photo taken, but he let me one time. He and Malinda went out of their way to visit us in Florida and we so enjoyed their visit. Often wished we did not live so far apart.
We are so sorry for the loss to Malinda, Wynona, Charlotte, Amanda and others who loved him so much
He will be sorely missed by so many, including us, his Aunt Patsy and Uncle Bennie
I am so very sorry. May God bless you and your family. Soon all your good memories will replace you hurt.

Malinda, so sorry to hear of David’s passing. I worked with David at AMRDEC in Warheads and he was always so willing to be of help with a listening ear. Great guy. Thank you for letting Marie know so she could pass on this sad news. Praying for you and Adam and his family that you feel God’s comfort during this difficult time.
He was a devoted son, husband, father, and brother. I will always remember his smile and his willingness to help others. He managed somehow to keep going and caring until the end. He will be missed by all he knew and loved. Prayers will be appreciated in order to keep going. God’s Blessing and peace to all.
So sorry, prayers for the family

Along with so many, I am heartbroken. Too many memories to mention, but I will never forget David (years ago) taking me out to ride horses in the rain. Malinda, thank you from the bottom of my heart for loving and caring for the man who is the closest person to a brother I have ever had. I know you were meant to be with him, your heart is huge. Adam, as you know, your dad was amazing. I will miss him forever. I know now he is no longer sick… I love you…
