David was a goofball, but knew how to get business done. As a young boy he was small and fearful, and as he grew into a young man, he grew an armor of strength and courage. He has the calm of a monk... a man of few words. His smile and laugh could win the hearts of the most hardened souls. His sense of adventure took him far and wide, and at 17 he has lived a life fuller than a 90-year-old man. A follower of his dreams. The two things that he cared about was security and his family, and for him we all will live on. His beautiful soul can now rest and watch over us each day. May he keep smiling and growing into the strong man I know he can be.
