I’m the driver who found you buddy, I’m glad I could get a name to the face. I hope fishing and hiking is plentiful where you rest, rest in peace, Friend. I was praying for you all night after I left the scene.
My thoughts and prayers are with you. Remember those days when the boys were little…we had so much fun.
I am so sorry to hear of David’s passing. Went to high school with him in EP and we hung out and played video games quite a bit. He was a fun guy. He’s remembered well. My deepest sympathy to all of the family.
David was a sweet, goof ball. He will be missed.

Julia, Randy and family We are never ready when God decides to call our loved ones. It is hard to accept that they are gone from this earthly life. They are still with us in our hearts and we have wonderful memories. They are never really totally gone from our lives. We will always love them and treasure the time that we had them. LOVE AND GOD BLESS Sharon Klein
