Ray Van De Walker wrote a sympathy message

“This is just very sad. Dave was my assistant Track Coach at Portage Northern in the mid 1980's. We spent a lot of time working on starting businesses then, it was an adventure. I was with him when he started "Expressvend". He told me in 1985 that Subway sandwich franchises were going to be the next big thing. I thought that he was crazy then. I was wrong, yet sometimes I was right. I was glad that he took my advice to get health insurance and an accountant, a few months later he broke his leg.”

Laura Crouse wrote a sympathy message

“David was a very special human being. He had a smile that could light up a room and make the misery disappear. He is often in my thoughts and will remain there. A positive image, even though I know life was rough for him in the end. I will remember his love and his kindness and his wonderful smile. I know he is with his Father in heaven now, and hopefully receiving the gifts in plenty, that he gave so unselfishly to others while with us.”

“I am so sorry for Dave’s family. He was one of my best friends in high school. We did everything together. Even went on crazy adventures. Dinners at my Grandmas lake. Our blueberry picking. So many laughs. We walked together at graduation went to dances and proms together. You always had a special place in my life and <3. My whole family loved you. I know you had many health struggles. Be at peace with our Lord and Savior. Love you Amy”

Rick Try wrote a sympathy message

“My thoughts go out to Dave's family. I've known Dave since the '70s. He was a first one to welcome me to the neighborhood back in 1980. Always a good friend . We always had fun together no matter what we did riding around or 10 speeds listening to the tigers game. Although we lost touch, he's always been in my thoughts and in my heart. He will be missed my friend. May you rest in peace and thank you for being a great friend.”
