Becky, Dianna, Kayla and Michael,
My memories run deep of David, Becky, Uncle Fred and Katie. I consider myself very lucky to get to know my cousins David and Becky. I have many fond memories of fishing for drum while riding in David's boat on the Black River and afterward eating food cooked by Uncle Fred and Aunt Katie. Good memories are precious and I have so many of David and his mother and Dad. Rest in peace my good cousin and may the good Lord give your family comfort in this time of sadness.
So sorry to hear about your loss. You are in our prayers.
So sorry for your loss. He was a good friend and cousin. We will miss him dearly. Prayers to the family.
The wise family.

I'm lost for words but, going to try to write some of my thoughts.
David was a brother to me which I loved him dearly. He will be deeply missed by me and my wife. We were unseperateable. He was my biggin and I was his littlein that was what we called each other. We both hunted and fished together all the time. I know one day when my time comes we will be together again doing what we loved most. My thoughts and prayers for the family. I will miss my dearest true friend dearly. May the Lord bless my dearest friend in his homecoming.
With all my love,

Sorry to family for the loss of a fine man. My cousin David who shared the best fishing trips , coolest trucks, and great adventures in our young lives. Love you and hope to see you on that golden shore.
So sorry for your loss. Prayers for your family.
May you feel the peace that passes understanding and the comfort of our Lord at this time. Our loss, heaven's gain!
So sorry for your family in this sad time. David was my first cousin and I always knew him as a kind and gentle person with never a harsh word. Always remember his fishing trips with Fred to Pocahontas. They were a joy to be around and always most gracious hosts to the family who came out to their camp on the river to eat fish. I know David was a wonderful father and husband and son and he will be so missed. I pray the Lord fills you and your family with his grace and comforts you mightily in this special time. May we all be united together again with our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. Blessings from the Brunner’s.
Praying for comfort in your time of loss. So sorry we could not be there.
Prayers for all the Family. God Bless you all.

God speed old friend! See ya on the other side. Save me a seat on the river bank!
Diane & family please know that you are all in my prayers at this sad time in your lives. David was a very kind person & it was my pleasure to know him at the lab. I ask that the lord to give you comfort & peace. God Bless.
We are very sorry for your loss of David. May God comfort you during this time.
My thoughts and prayers goes out to the family. I worked with david for a number of years. He will be truly missed.
I had the pleasure of working with David for many years at Baxter lab. We shared the same birthday so he would always remember to wish me a happy birthday. On the 12th I was in slitter at Baxter and I was thinking of David's dad Fred and how well he ran the slitter machine. David like his dad was a hard worker and a wonderful person. I know David will be missed by many, but those who knew him are richer for having his friendship.
We are so sorry for your loss. Our thoughts and prayers are with you and your families. David was such a polite, nice and kind man. We enjoyed seeing and visiting with him when he would come to mow the yard. May God's presence be felt during this time of sadness.
