My kindest regards and deepest sympathies to David's family, especially Donald and Diane, whom I remember and know. David was an easygoing and smart young man who always lifted the spirits of those around him, and who never let the circumstances of life get him down. I recall the many times that we would travel the road from his house to mine via bicycle as kids, and later times together during outings with the youth group from the church we both attended (Gallatin Road Ch. of Christ) that was maybe 70 yards from his house on Edenwald Road.(Now part of Myatt Dr.) I recall that David had a great mentoring relationship with Danny Cottrel, the minister there during several of the formative years of his youth that I believe strengthened his faith, and which helped him and others in our group immensely in preparing for our journey through life!
He was a good and loyal friend, and he will be missed by all of us who knew him. I take comfort in knowing that we shall see one another again in a brighter and more joyful place than we could ever know in this world!
