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.

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.
