    Rob and David so sorry for the loss of your dad. He is at peace in the arms of the Lord. Rest in peace Dave

    Mya and family. We were so sorry to read of Dave’s passing. We thought a lot of both of you as neighbors and friends.
    Please know our thoughts, love and prayers are with you.

    Eternal rest grant unto him, O Lord, and let perpetual light shine upon him. May his soul and all the souls of the faithful departed, through the mercy of God, rest in peace in the arms of Jesus. Prayers for all who loved him
    Amen.
    My deepest condolences in your loss. I am sorry I wasn’t able to be in attendance at his celebration of life.

    I didn’t know my cousin Mya’s husband well. When my mom and I would visit, he was often going golfing, golfing at the time, or coming home from golfing. But there was such love for him and family in the home he didn’t need to be there. When he was he reminded me a lot of my dad – storyteller, spirited, loud, a big teddy bear. Love and comfort to the family.

    We are so sorry for the loss of Dave. He was a kind, funny man who always made everyone feel important and welcome. We all remember great times with Dave, Mya and the whole family. I know he will be greatly missed. May the great memories you all have of fun family times lighten your hearts.

    Mya and Family, So sorry to hear of the passing of Dave, He was a great Guy and he will be deeply missed by all who knew him. My Sincere Sympathy to You and Your Family. My prayers and thoughts are with you.

    Uncle David was always a favorite of mine. He was loving, thoughtful, kind, great sense of humor, and present at all family get-togethers. I will always remember Dave and Mya being an important part of the Lutheran Church. You both are true witnesses to your faith in the Lord. Dave will be greatly missed by his family and many friends. Love you Uncle David and I will keep you in my heart.
