"Dave was more than just a great friend for me. He showed me how to live a different way! When I thought all hope was lost and I had to restart my life not knowing many people he was the first one to reach out. I'm still alive and still living that way of life and he took my hand and showed me the way. He put in countless service hours and was well know in the community I met him in. I am happily married today and have a son of my own and I know that he was apart of me being able to accomplish that. I wish I had been closer. I wish I could have said goodbye. I may think it was too soon for him but God had bigger plans for Dave and his work on Earth was complete. Dave had a huge heart and was always there for everyone. Not a day will go by that I won't miss him. I pray for his beautiful loving and amazing wife Robin he couldn't have found a better soul mate. I love you Dave and miss you! Thank you for being apart of my new way of life and in my daily recovery! Until we meet again RIP??"
