He loved spending time with family and always carried around his little cooler filled with root beer. He loved to take drives and listen to Willy’s Roadhouse. Dad had a great sense of humor always teasing and laughing. He loved to watch all his grandkids sporting events and a little pro football jumping from the Kansas City Chiefs to the 49ers.

I was fortunate enough to know Dave as a patient and friend several years ago, and I always looked forward to our visits. I still have the beaded cross he gave me a a parting gift hanging on my rear view mirror. He was a true gentleman and good story teller and I will miss him. My condolences to Dominga and to the rest of his family
Sue Nissen says
Dearest Dominga and all of Dave’s family…So sad to hear of Dave’s passing. He is surely in the heavenly home Jesus has prepared for him and will wait for you all there. I have many, many fond memories of you and Dave, Dominga. What a hoot you both were at the Range parties. “Tequilla Rose” brings a smile, and Dave took very good care of her. I remember Dave always putting the needs of his family first. He had the kindest and most unselfish heart. He was a man that would give up everything to make sure his family had need for nothing. May God wrap you in His grace and bless each of you.
Jennifer Bixby and family says
Our deepest condolences to all family members, prayers.

Sincerest sympathy goes to Dominga and all of David’s family and friends. He was a “staple” of the community when I lived down there. He was a good person and will be missed. Blessings to you as you go into the future. David will be waiting for you in a better place.
