David was a man with a contagious and witty personality. His ability to make others laugh always had a way of lighting up the room. He was a carpenter by trade by could truly work on anything; he was a jack of all trades. He loved playing his guitar and never missed an opportunity to sing his favorite songs. He will be greatly missed and cherished in the hearts of all those who knew and loved him.

As the old saying goes, "Last But Not Least", we bring light to David's only living sibling, Randy. Contrary to the old saying, brother randy is last but he is certainly not least. Randy did more for his brother than anyone ever could. At least he was his best friend, and at least he was able to provide David will much comfort and joy not only throughout his life, but also in his finale days. This family will sincerely thanks Randy for all he has done.
