We are so very sorry for your loss. We didn't hear the news until Luke returned from Spring Break and accessed his Facebook account. We have so many wonderful memories of David - grilling at the football games, playing Harley Santa, and watching out for all of the Band kids. Our thoughts and prayers are with you all.

Darlene, Cassie, David & Cody,
Words can't express the loss that you feel. I was shocked to hear of David's passing. No one can grill on Friday nights like he could. He kept the burgers flying on Friday nights and the lot filled with laughter. He will be missed. Our thoughts and prayers are with you.

Our family had the privilege of enjoying David and his regular greetings at volumes that rival aircraft at take-off. They always brought smiles to our faces. His voice was only a hint at the size of his caring for others and the love for his family. Our family is in prayer for yours. Love, the Sauers

We lift your family up to the lord in petition for his peace, comfort and understanding to come upon you during this time of sorrow. May all that is in him shine upon you and your loved ones here on earth. In the precious name of Jesus, Amen.

Isaiah 57:1-2

The righteous perish, and no one ponders it in his heart, devout men are taken away, and yet no one understands that the righteous are taken away to be spared from evil. Those who walk uprightly enter into peace as they lie in death.

Peace and strength be with you.

Love,

Tammy, Lee, Aaron & Devon

Dear Family, I wish that I a had more room to write, but with Dave there are more words to say than room here. He was a friend first, employee and tried to be a mentor. I will miss my brother, but I know God had his plan and needed a great man. He got one. You will always be part of our family.
