I am so glad Trent, Russ and myself had dinner with you last year,
and we had a chance to pay our respects to David by putting small
rocks on his site in the park where you had the inscription to David.
Love,
Ronny, Trent & Russ

Miss you buddy. Still get to hang with you from time to time in my dreams. I'm extremely thankful to know that I have shared amazing and unforgettable times with you in this life. Perhaps there will be more in the next life. Love you dawggy always and forever.
Each morning, in my prayer, I tell David that he will always be loved and missed - How true this is! David was a gift, a challenge, and a wonderful grandson. I smile often at my great memories and the way he would say, "Granma," and his eyes would twinkle.

And all the Other Lives You Touch.

To your family, from ours: prayers and thoughts are with you. We think of you very often, send our love and wish you peace and strength. Much love, John
You arrived with your mom and brother for a visit. Together with our boys Ben & Jake we explored the wonders of NYC through little-boy eyes: discovery, laughter, and quiet moments. You and Matthew such sweetness. David,your absence is so deeply sad and painful. My love and prayers go to you Peggy,Ted,Matthew, and your family. May your hearts find Peace. Love you.
David, you have always been a part of our lives, having something in common with Julian. You may have left Ellingson Drive and are now gone forever but our thoughts will always be with you. We will always treasure our fond memories of you and Matthew playing with Julian in that plastic pool in the back yard one summer. You will forever be missed.
I will always love you. I will always miss you. I remember your racing across the parking lot of the Maine Diner to give me a big hug and all the fun that we have had-even to messing my hair! Bless you, my wonderful grand son Granma
Very sorry to learn about David's passing. We want you to know that the Drue King family shares your grief, and you are in our thoughts and prayers. We appreciate and remember Ted's excellent work in recounting Dad's story at Harvard. It is difficult to know what to say at such a sad time, but we wanted to reach out to you with whatever support we can offer.
Dear Ted,
I did not know you had lost your son David until today, 12/17, as I read the morning newspaper. How profoundly sad to lose such a young person, how heartbreaking to lose your child. My deepest sympathies to you, your wife Peggy and son Matthew, and to Grandmother Gee Gee.
Sincerely, Peggy Fitzgerald

I can't stop thinkin about the old days back at school and times spent with you. I wish I could teleport back in time and just relive our days in high school. Every memory that comes to my mind with you we were always laughing. I wish you were still around to share that laughter with us today. I'm always gonna miss you Gup, and every time I laugh I'll be thinkin about you buddy.
Hello my man, It's a lot easier to sometimes to write down how you feel then just saying it. My heart sinks when I think about you, I wanted to call you the other day because I was in Akron and just felt emptiness looking at your phone number. Maybe, just maybe, if I called you would pick up.... Im choked up thinking of you. Forever missed, Love you...
"when I look to the sky something tells me your here with me and you make everything alright.When I feel like I'm lost something tells me your here with me.... And I can always find my way when you are here"-train explains how I feel :)
Dave... U will never no how much ur friendship meant to me...we knew eachother since u came to orange and you are the main reason I made friends and found my way around. I miss walking to and from class with you every mon wed night and you always walked me to my car to make sure I was ok. I still cry every time I had to go to that class. I love u and ur spirit wit with all of us always!xo
Dave,
I miss you so much. I'm not even sure where to start with the memories, there were so many, and it seems like just yesterday...It's not the same without you, but your spirit will live on through us, and we will never forget you. Rest in peace buddy.
I remember the first time I met David in 6th grade, my first year wrestling at Orange. From the moment I stepped on the mat you were always there to take the edge of a hard practice or encourage me to stick with it because I would get better. You were with me through the thick of it and gave me memories that will never dim from my memory. I miss you and never will forget you RIP my friend.
