David, it saddens me terribly knowing that your not here anymore. You were such a funny and goofy little kid, but you always found a way to make us all laugh. I remember being a kid and growing up with you, your brother, your sister, and all our friends. We'd always be playing games, swimming in the pool, riding go-karts, and 4-wheeling! We went camping and on so many road trips during the summer times. We had so many life bonding experiences I will never forget.
I pray for you, and I pray for your daughter. I pray that she knows her dad, and how cool he really was. That he actually went out there and did things with his life! You were a manager at Walmart and i thought that was super cool! I was proud, Every time I saw you in Walmart id always stop no matter how busy or rushed i was, just to ask how you were doing and to talk about you and your little girl. I was happy seeing you do so well at Walmart.
I pray for your family David, I pray for Wanda and Ed for the pain that they feel; they're one of the most amazing and loving parents/families that I've ever met!
I pray for Brian and Melissa and that there is peace where there is void in their heart because of the loss of a loved one. I know it's so hard to go through these things; trials in our life, but with the strength of God anything is possible.
Philippians 4:13
I can do all things through Christ which strengthens me.
I love and miss all of you guys! You were my family that I never really had.
Thank you for being there for me in my times of need and i hope to always be here for you guys.
God bless you and whole family,
Rest In Peace my great friend David.

During my entire time at 4686, David was always there. He was my first real supervisor, and remained my friend even after I left Walmart. I have so many great memories with David. This is very hard for everyone, and I can't express how much grief I feel for his family and friends. You will be dearly missed, David.

I have worked with David for the past 3 years at Neighborhood Market 4686 . He could have been hard to deal with at times but was a good source of information when you needed it. He was a good, caring person and would help others whenever he could. He will be dearly missed and will miss him coming through the backroom of the store and complaining how cold it was.

I work with David when he was a CSM at store 4686. He trained me when I became a CSM too. He was very polite, professional, and I learned a lot about my job working with him. I would often see him with his daughter when they shopped for groceries and one thing for sure was that he loved his adorable little girl. He was a valued member of our team will never be forgotten. We will miss you David. Rest in peace

I wish to pray, and to extend my most heartfelt sympathy, to the family of David. May all receive calm hearts during this distressing time and look forward and comfort from God, as he promises at Jeremiah 31:13 . "I will change their mourning into exultation. I will comfort them and give them joy instead of their grief".May you accept his comfort.
