October 17, 2020 at 7:58 pmMy brother Dave had the biggest smile and sweetest heart of anyone I have ever known. From the time we were small children we had a connection that is hard to explain. Our souls were definitely connected and we did everything together. He had a paper route after school and rode his bike. I would always go with him because it would be so cold when it snowed that I figured if he had to be freezing then I had to too. Besides we could get it done quicker if I helped him. We went to ball games together and I took him with us when I would go on dates. People always thought that was funny that I would take him on my dates. After I got married and moved out he would drive to Rockport and spend weekends with me. We partied together thru the years when we were old enough and sometimes when we were not old enough. My mom would ask him Do you want to grow up and be like her. He would smile that mischievous smile of his and say Yeah she is my hero. We even worked at Snap on Tool together for many years. We were always getting into some kind of trouble but we always had fun and it was always worth it. I have so many wonderful memories of us being with family and friends. Dave had more friends than anyone I have ever known. He left a lasting impression on everyone he ever met. He was always the life of the party. He loved his son Josh and grand babies with all his heart. Dave was my heart. We traveled to Europe together and I am so grateful for all the memories we made together. I was the luckiest girl in the world to be his sister. He was a hard worker even though everything had to always be perfect and he would not stop until it was. You were lucky if you knew him and he loved to help people. There are no words to truly express how much he meant to me. My heart is broken but I know he is watching over me with that beautiful smile of his. I will keep you in my heart bubby until we meet again. I miss you and love you to the moon and back. No more pain no more stress and no more heartache for you now. Only peace and joy because I know you are with the Lord now. Try to stay out of trouble until I get there. You can not have all the fun little brother.

October 20, 2020 at 1:17 pmMy brother Dave was a loving, happy go lucky guy. Anyone who knew him loved him. All he had to do was walk into a room and the mood lifted. He was the life of the party. When we were with him we always felt like the most important person in the room. I live in Oregon and couldn’t come home but my heart is there. I will miss him greatly and mourn his passing for a very long time. I love you Dave and pray you are looking down to see just how special you are.
