I did not really know David I spent 2 shrimp seasons working with his twin brother Rodger. I was more of an outdoor person so getting to work on a shrimp boat was the best job. Rodger was cool working with a girl no hassle just chill. I grew up as a Navy brat so being on the water and working was awesome job for a girl back then. Bucky Chapman Rodger´s roommate and friend help me meet Micah and got me the job. Rodger shared he had a twin but we were just kids working on the shrimp boats for Micah La Roche(sp) on John´s Island. We really didn´t talk about family just hung on the John´s Island crowd. I would leave and join the Army December 1976. I visited 1979 prior to shipping out for 3rd ID in Germany hung out with Jane and Micah my husband was already in Germany waiting for me and our daughter. I imagine he got his sense of humor from his brother and brothers yes he had a sense of humor!! I would retire 2005 from Army and my husband and I would go to Charleston to look up the area and I showed him the areas I lived and worked. I got to meet up with Micah but Rodger had moved to another area. I was Judy Robison when I was working on the Billy Boy. I saw the picture of David and it definitely reminded of his brother. I believe his mother was from Holly Hill, SC which is where I would grow up after my father retired from Navy. God Bless your family so sorry for your loss

Elaine, I was so very sorry to hear of your sweetheart's passing. You have been in our thoughts and prayers. Fifty two years is such a wonderful tribute to each other. Big hug, my friend and we are just down the road should you ever need anything. God bless you and your family.

I´m Rick. I went to several events and celebrations with my love Carol Collins. There Imeet Dave. We hit it off and I wish that that I had stayed in touch more because I knew he enjoyed being around me as much as I did him. One event Carol and I, Dave and Elaine were sitting together and Dave said, Rick, let me know when it´s 8:30 because that´s all I signed up for. When he asked me what time it was, I said 8:05. At 9 o´clock he realizes that I lied about the time! I didn´t want him to leave. Love you Dave. Love Rick Lingle

My memory of Davey (known to me as David, one of my friend, Arthur Brabham´s younger brothers-and one of his twin brothers. Given our 15 year age difference, he was very young when it was my honor to have known him. I do remember him very well. Arthur was a dear friend-one of my best friends, ever. My memories of Davey and his family are very positive. His family was very kind to me at a time that i needed kindness and support. May he rest in peace.

Sorry to hear of Davys passing. My family lived at Edgewater Park down the street from the Brabhams. My older brother Henry was good friends with the whole family and Davy was always friendly with everyone in the neighborhood. I like riding my motorcycle down to the bridge at Edgewater Park and unwind but every once in a while I´d see Davy boogieing down the road in his Jaguar waving as he rode by. He will be missed as he was an integral part of the Edgewater family

So sorry to hear that Davie is no longer with us here on earth, but his spirit and soul will be in our hearts for ever.Davie has been a part of my family's life for 60+ years. Elaine was always by Davies side, no matter what kind of crazy adventure he persuade---like racing speed boats! I will miss my friend. I'm sure the first thing he asked the Good Lord, is speed boat racing aloud in heven. God Bless you and all the family.
