I will never forget all the sleepovers, showing me your drawings, action figures, hot wheels & trips to sesame place when you were little with Edwin & Saesha. Your silliness will always put a smile on my face & lastly your full 100 worship with me & your mom! ❤️😭
I remember there was a get together and we were drinking and we began saying how we will protect our families from anything that came at them no matter how cringe it sounded and how out of the world it seemed. At that moment I viewed you as a man who wanted nothing more than to protect and serve his family and give them everything possible ! Your spirit will live on forever bro , until we meet again Amen.
Dave you really was the most honest and self aware person I ever meant you really was like a brother all we did was talk about life and taking care of the family all night at work all you wanted was peace and as much as it’s hurt bro you found it
Bro this one hurts, we worked together for three years and we built a bond, I will always remember our laughs and our serious moments when we spoke about life, family, and future goals, you’ll be surprised how many times you made me self evaluate and helped me keep my faith strong, you will always be a close friend and it hurts that now I can’t call you any more when I start to miss the moment of hanging out with you and Rich in the back of the shop waiting for the next set of bus, I’m miss you man but I know the the Lord has you now
When I walked into the hospital room, David opened his arms and welcomed me. I had not seen him since he was a young boy. My grand nephew what a beautiful soul you are. I’m overwhelmed with how you blessed all of us that day with prayer and worship!! Thank you Wanda and Mildred for this beautiful memory ❤️ I know the family will be growing in love and peace, because that’s how he would want it. God’s blessings to you all.
David, I will never forget how wonderful a brother you were. I appreciate all the laughs and Pokemon cards you gave me. I also want to thank you for always having my back. I Remember when we would stay up late playing Nintendo 64! You taught me so much, and we shared so many wonderful memories together. I love you so much, big brother.
Words can’t even express how much I love you and miss you. Your family never had to worry about anything and I hope you knew how much of a blessing that was for them. I would do anything to get one of your bear hugs again but until then I’ll hold you in my heart ❤️
David, you was such a sweet kid, for the little time I care for you at Penn Medicine! I prayed everyday for you. I can’t even believe I’m writing this, because deep inside I wanted you home with your beautiful lady & kids. I’m sad for the family. I know they will see you again in perfect health. We all love you so much and rest well. The Nurses from Penn Medicine oncology unit.
