David wrote his own obituary because he knew his death was imminent . He had contracted HIV (AIDS)at a time when there was very little known about treating the disease. Lymphoma Cancer and MAI also contributed to his death.
I was the same age, and a mirror image of David. When we often worked together as flight attendants for Western Airlines, people would always ask us if we were twins. We laughed at the thought of someone naming their twins David and David!
So here's what he wanted people to know about him:
DAVID DECKER FREEZY FROST
"I was born David Decker Freezy Frost on June 15, 1958 to Sandra Decker Frost and Michael Freezy Frost in Corpus Christi, TX.
I left this life for a better place on July 19, 1992 after a lengthy battle with HIV diseases including Lymphoma cancer and MAI.
I was raised in McAllen in the lower Rio Grande Valley of South Texas. I spent a year at the Marine Military Academy and Graduated from McAllen High School in 1976. From there I went to Texas A & M University and studied agriculture economics. My most rewarding experience growing up was being able to attend Outward Bound at Hurricane Island off of the coast of Maine.
I lived a full and wonderful life with my life-mate Michael Ray Bohney and was preceded in death by Roger in 1989. I loved to cook and spend time with my many friends. The greatest excitement in my life were my 5 dogs: Chi, Austin, Sable, Molly Sue and Prancer as well as Max the cat.
Those that survive me are my lover Michael, my parents, grandparents, sister Cynthia, brother James and his wife Carrie Jan and their children, Benjamin Freezy, Nathanael and Jessica.
How could I ever leave this life without thanking Dr. Kristen Ries, for not only becoming one of my best friends as well as for the care she has given Roger and me. She is truly one of God's great gifts to this world as she has given her life to caring for HIV patients when many doctors still won't deal with this matter."
A memorial was held on Tuesday in the Wasatch Lawn Mortuary Chapel.
David was buried in his flight attendant uniform with his Western (Airlines) Wings as well as his Delta (Airlines) Wings proudly pinned to his chest. (Western and Delta merged in 1987.) To coin a phrase from Delta; "He loved to fly, and it showed".
David wanted the (newly released) Bette Midler song "Wind Beneath My Wings" played at his service. Michael brought the CD, but the mortuary did not have a CD player, so we settled on singing "Amazing Grace" which everybody belted out until we all realized that nobody knew the second verse. Everyone broke out in laughter, knowing that David would have been laughing as well. He was a wonderful friend and will be missed by so many.
