This memorial website was created in loving memory of our loved one, David William Jennings, 28, born on December 18, 1984 and passed away on August 25, 2013. We will remember him forever.
My family wishes to express sincere thanks to all our relatives, friends, co-workers, and all well-wishers for your prayers, visits, calls, gifts of food/dinners, flowers, cards, loving memory gifts and support during David’s hospitalization and the tragic passing of my son David.
No words can ever express our sincere gratitude and appreciation for the overwhelming support and kindness everybody showed to us ... David’s friends from his childhood and his friends in the Army, Brooke his older sisters friends and from Grace his younger sisters schoolmates, parents, teachers, administrators from St. Edwards and soccer teammates from the Richmond Strikers, St. Edwards church and its members, to all our family and extended family and close friends near and far, and even people we did not know. We were touched with this outpouring of love and support for David and our family.
David was so very loved…more than he knew….. He left too soon. We will always carry a deep sorrow in our hearts, and our lives will never be the same again without David.
David was born right before Christmas on the 18th of December. He loved Christmas the best and so it was fitting that his birthday was his favorite time of year. His birthday parties when he was little were always fun with his family and friends. I have some pictures I will post. He was always a happy child. His cousin James always with him. They were like brothers. And until David hit his teens, James was at his birthday parties every year. We had parties at Burger King of all places( they used to host parties believe it or not) Burger King because David loved the chicken nuggets but not the fries though. Had to get those at McDonalds. He also had parties at Duck Pin Bowling, Indoor Mini Golf, this place near ST Joseph Church that had a race car track, Chuck E Cheese, the Movies and of course our home in New Fairfield. He would have been 29 today. Miss you baby boy.
So in honor of David for his birthday we had chicken nuggets from Burger King and McDonald fries and Carvel ice cream cake. It was hard to celebrate.... but his childern liked it. We sang happy birthday and the kids blew out the candels.
Uncle Eddie lit a candle at the Gloucester Cathedral In the UK. David's candle is the tall one to the bottom right. This is where King Edward is buried in England and where Harry Potter was filmed.
Uncle Eddie was like a second father to David. Someone David respected and loved.
