I saw David was as a person who would help when asked, but would hardly ask for help when needed. A good dad to Austin & Carson who took a lot on and stayed strong, even when it was very hard. Hard working, loving, & caring. A true patriot of our freedom in this country, Giving selflessly. He didn’t show fear or worry at least when I was around.
The memories I have most is he stepped in and helped me move. He carried a heavy, 37” older box TV a block down an alley to get it to my “new” then house. He dropped it along the way and we were worried about him, his back, arms, & legs or toes while he worried about the TV! (It still worked fine by the way).
My heart, thoughts, prayers for the Peace that surpasses our understanding through Christ Jesus are with Austin, Carson & all the family. May you all feel the prayers lifted to our Lord for the comfort only He can give.
With Thoughts & Love from The Partida’s, Rene & Maria
With Deepest Sympathy. Our thoughts and prayers are with all of you.
