One of David's favorite sayings, with a smile, a chuckle and a Budweiser in one hand, "Remember the Alamo." He was known for his sense of humor, wise cracks and jokes, but it was his passion for his family that made him who he was and adored by so many. He was loved by all, will be missed by many and forgotten by none, ("Duh," as he would have so boldly interjected). Good times and great memories he has left behind. David's life was too short, but those who were blessed to know him would understand that the quality of his existence far exceeds the quantity of time. If love would have saved him, he would have lived forever. David will always be remembered as a loving, wonderful father, grandfather, brother and friend; a great man. David's final quote: "I'm gonna miss all you brats..."
