David always made an effort to be a good uncle to me.
David was one of my best friends and I will miss him terribly. We were 19 year old kids we were roommates so it doesn’t get much closer than that. We traveled together saw so many fun trips I’ve been on a helicopter and submarine we were so close we shared many long conversations we played many sports we was much better than me many especially basketball we were a team we played volleyball we probably played as a team more than 250 volleyball games. When I had to get rid of my cat he took beavis the cat in when no other would take him. He had a zest for life he lived his life on his terms he did it his way and I already miss him so much and will never forget my friend his brother Jesse was a wonderful brother and he helped him get through the toughest of times. Jesse I will be there for you in any way you need me . To David’s mom and dad I know there is no words to comfort you in times like this but you were wonderful parents and did anything for David he loved you both very much and I pray you can find peace now and in the future god bless David and rest in peace brother

Being mischievous and always planting the seed to cause some ruckus. You knew he was up to something when he would stand back and just smile.
David dared me to a “Walk Off” once when he wasn’t in the best shape of his life. It was the end of summer months, it was hot and muggy and we walked for miles at the beach. My desire to be done with this nonsense made him win. Not related to being in better shape at all. He held that title over my head for years and I let him have that one. He knew how to push my buttons and I loved him for it. He loved to take credit for my nature pics and I would let him have that too even though I was the photographer.
The fondest memories I have of David are all from the concerts we attended together. It brought so much happiness to our lives. The music we loved will always bring me the best memories of him. I will cherish those forever in my heart.
Seeing the brighter things in life and staying positive no matter what.
