I struggle to even find the words to express how sorry I am to know that David passed. He will be miss by everybody who knew him. His class at Bon Air won't be the same. You are in our thoughts and prayers.

Many prayers for all of you and God bless you. I knew David from Bon Air. I work on the elementary side, but I saw David and his classmates nearly everyday for the past couple of years. He was such a joy, and I loved his 'high fives'. Thank you for sharing such a great little guy with us, he was such a blessing. Peace & Love to you- Stephanie Purvis
