David, it's been years since we last spoke, so it leveled me when I heard from your son you'd died. Gosh I hate that. I want you to know that you gave me my big break by teaching me your craft. I feel most fortunate to have learned from you. You was truly a master of your crafts. I've carried your learnings all over AR repairing things. I love you David and wish I could tell you in person. All our fights we had both physically and verbally was necessary because we both was stubborn asses! David your gone but not forgotten. Thanks my friend. Rest in peace. Sincerely Jeremy

Having known David my entire life, I am so sad to hear of his passing. As young children we lived three houses apart and played, laughed and enjoyed the gift of growing up in a small town where everybody knew everybody. Throughout our growing up, David possessed such joy, energy and passion in whatever he did, whether it was sports, music or whatever. I value our times together and know that he will be missed. Good-bye, my friend.

I had the pleasure of growing up with David and his family in good ole Walnut Ridge Arkansas. He was tons of fun then and it sounds like he carried that into his adult life. Hugs and Prayers for his girls and Alan, and all the friends and family.

My deepest condolences to you in this moment of loss. I met Mr. Jean when I started working at the Falk store in Benton. He always came in with a smile on his face. Prayers to the family during this time.

I am very saddened by the passing of David. I first met David on Christmas Eve many years ago when an ice storm had hit central Arkansas. My heater went out and I could not get any of the big name companies to come out in such adverse weather conditions. I called David Jean and he came right out. We became friends and I have used him for all of my heating and air issues. The world will be a little sadder without David's smile and his great customer service. I will miss him. My condolences go out to his family.

It's been a long time since we last saw David. My husband Jerry is a cousin - his mom was Odean Parker, Faye's first cousin. They were raised together in Carlisle. We sure were sorry to hear of his sudden passing. Our thoughts are with you and your family.

We have thought a lot about your Dad in the past few days, and will remember all the good times we had on our annual visits to Little Rock as well as the trips to NJ to visit us. He loved his family, and we loved him. He was an excellent plumber, and never took advantage of his customers. He took great pride in his profession. Love and prayers to all of you,
