"I was so sorry to see that David, at only 44 years old, has passed away in death. Please accept my condolences and may your family be comforted by God's promise in the Bible at Revelation chapter twenty-one, verse four, that very soon death will be no more as well as John chapter five, verses twenty-eight and twenty-nine which holds out the hope that we can be reunited with our loved ones who have died when they are resurrected. Again, please accept my heartfelt condolences."

"I'll never forget watching him at Hamilton County Speedway. One of my favourite late model drivers, my dad and him were also pretty close and because of them being close I also got close to his daughter Carly. Dave will be greatly missed, I hate getting on facebook and not seeing all of Dave's posts about bacon, and of course his dog! Rest in Paradise, and show everyone up in heaven what dirt racing is all about! "

"Because each of us is different, we experience grief in different ways. There is no right or wrong way to grieve, only your own way.
You may experience a range of feelings. You may feel numb, confused, lost, depressed, lonely, guilt, or even anger. It is possible to experience the feeling of being on a roller coaster because of the ups and downs of emotions. It is all normal and ok.
There is no time limit to grieving. The only thing you can do is to go on the best way you can.
Hopefully you will not hold things in because it may help to share your memories of Dave. Believe he will always be a part of you because of the memories you have of him. Remember you were blessed to have been a part of his life rather than not at all.
What a great guy and friend! One of the memories I have of Dave is of him helping me get my racecar from my ex-husband because it was my racecar but my ex-husband wouldn't let me use his car trailer so Dave helped me go get it with his trailer."

"To Dave's family: As a neighbor, I watched Dave grow from a delightful little boy to a delightful man. He was such a positive role model...always polite, always content and happy, and never seemed uncomfortable talking to an "older woman". My heart aches for your loss. May happy memories bring you peace.

"Hundreds of great memories, fun times, and crazy antics will, in due time, overpower this tragic loss. The memories of cutting roofs off cars with the blade of a circular saw turned backwards, trying to go to Algona in "Whitey", the storm on the way home from Cresco, and winning the lottery with a claim motor from Boone will live on forever. Sometimes friends lose touch over the years, such is life, but they always keep the memories."
