It seems impossible that 11 years have passed by so quickly, there are days it seems like yesterday we were watching Steel Magnolias at your house arguing on who was playing Ouisa's part. This coming Summer will make 35 years ago you and our circle of friends swept into my life like a huge Mardi Gras/Pride parade combined into one. That amount of time passing too, is hard to believe. You and your family welcomed me in as one of you, when some of my family made me feel very unwelcome; and for that I'm forever indebted. You and all of our friends taught me love myself, when I didn't, Ya'll loved me for me, and showed me to accept myself as I am, not what others thought I should be. I always knew that when I needed all you, ya'll had my back. I can still see your smile, hear your voice and your laughter in my head and my heart; but there are days I wish I could sit beside you and hear them in person. You made a huge difference in my life, let no one ever say you didn't make a difference to someone, when you did do so in so many peoples lives. You will always be one of the brothers I never had. I miss you dearly, when things get rough, and I get down; I miss having you here to have you fuss at me, to remind me who I am, when I forget, and give a swift kick in the behind; and tell me to get over myself. The days go by so quickly now, and I hope it isn't long until we're all together again. I'm so very lonesome. Save me a place on the couch, and make sure Miranda has a Jack and Coke ready for when I walk in.

Hard to believe it has been 11 years since God took you home, I miss you so much and want to call and talk to you or go see you. Your girl is now 18 and graduating this year, you would not believe how much she has grown. I know you are having a great time in heaven and I think of your smile often. Love and miss you, I will see you again one day .

Well bubba its 11 yrs today that you received your wings and I still miss you so much. I love you bubba. I will see you one day bubba, hug everyone there for me. Brenda got her wings Monday 
RIP son

Happy 54th Birthday across the divide !!! It's been all too long since I spoke to you last..11 years have flown by in what seems like mere seconds. I miss you dearly, you were always there when I needed a shoulder, or to chew me out when I needed it. Thank you for being part of the family I got to choose, and teaching me so many things. Give my hugs and kisses to Mark, Patrick and Charles and all of our friends who are gathered there with you. We miss you all.

Aunt Wendy misses you so much my Boo.Hard to believe its been 10 years since you were called home to see our saviors face.
Save me a place my Boo!

How time flies by, and it is still hard to believe that you are gone. I still miss you so much and want to call you and talk to you and tell you all the things that are going on. Your girl just turned 17 years old, she is almost grown and I am not dealing with it well but I know we all get older as our kids grow up even though we don't want them too. Happy Birthday my brother, I love and miss you so much.

My precious Boo,aunt Wendy misses you so much but am comforted knowing you are with your maw maw Priscilla n paw paw Johnny,and our Savior!

Hi bubba, well your fan that I took from your house broke yesterday and I am heart broken. I know its such a silly thing but it brought back all the hurt and pain that I felt when you got your wings, I have been crying for 2 days, today I know I have to get a grip on myself. You had asked me to promise you I wouldn't cry when you left and if you remember I told you that was no promise I could keep, although I do try son because I know that you wouldn't want me to. I love and miss you so much, till we meet again RIP

My daughter's name is Marcantel and her family born and raised is Louisiana. I don't know if they are family but I like to think this wonderful guy is looking after her in heaven. I know the pain and loss you feel, there is no relief and the pain never goes away. I don't know how I found this page but I come here often. He must of been a awesome man and it gives me a bit of comfort reading his Tributes.

My families world would change for ever 6 years yesterday. David Marcantel was called to heaven to be free of pain and suffering. I know your in a much better place but it still hurts not having you around. So much has changed in our lives, wish you could have been here to see, praying u can son, mom loves and misses you so much more that words can say.

I have been thinking of you off n on all day. I miss you so very much,I wish you were still with us. I know you are in spirit,but that is no comfort,I can't hug your spirit.
You behave yourself and send us red birds n butterflies to let us know you are watching over us.
I love you my Boo!

It is hard to believe it has been 6 years since you have been gone and we still miss you as much today as we did when you first left. I know you are looking down on us and you can see what has been going on in our lives, just wish I could talk to you, love and miss you

i having NEVER met a TRUE Man . until i met David. GREAT Son GREAT friend. GREAT father. i miss him with all my heart. he is in heaven now, please everyone remember David . i will NEVER forget him i love you David

Mom will be picking her up today for the weekend, will send you some pictures lol. Well baby till we meet again, love you

One year ago today I lost one of my dearest friends. David Marcantel. I feel so blessed to have him in my life. He was one of a kind, could not be replaced. We spent many hours discussing our lives. David did everything for everyone. He was so intelligent for his age. He knew a little about everything. David didn't realize just how sick he was getting. I never saw someone who fought so hard to live. David passes away on my Dads birthday. Daddy was waiting at the gates of heaven to meet him. I feel that in my heart. He so much loved his Mom and Summer. I don't know many men that adopt and raise a baby. David was a special guy. He fought so hard to live. He will always have a place in my heart. I know he is not suffering anymore, that gives me peace. A friend is a present you give yourself. David was my present. I will never forget him. Pat you did a great job raising such a great Son. He will never be forgotten. May God Bless you and your family on this day. I truly loved him, and he brought us together. All my love.
Lydia

Hello David, I don't remember meeting you but I am sure at some point in time that we have. May you have peace and know that your mom and all the family misses you deeply. Say in touch with your family through their dreams and thoughts. Much love to all the family.

Dear David..

I don't know why God took you early but I am sure it was for a good reason..I am sorry you had such a short life here. I hope you are happy and now you can be a special Angel for your mom...She really misses you more than you can imagine..Touch her heart every day to let her know you are still with her. Visit her in her dreams....

I knew.your mom from high school and she was a very good friend of mine. When she married your dad, David, she wore my wedding dress (which I later gave to her).

You were born 2 days after my son Allen.

P.S. Tell my mom (Pearl) my brother (John) (Momo Romero) (Uncle Bill) that I love and miss them every day.

Thanks again for talking with me today.

A long time friend of your mom...Peggy A. Trahan
