Happy birthday!! Thinking of you today and always. I know you’re with me in spirit and I will always be grateful for our friendship. Let’s get stoked for winter!!!

Dave,

Happy Birthday!!! I hope you're celebrating and having a great time. I'll be making a toast to you tonight (soon as I'm done with class...sigh). Happy birthday!!

Dave with Halloween just around the corner I can only imagine what tricks you would have had up your sleeve. I have a few of your costumes here at home. I was thinking I should wear one to hand out the candy at Kristin's house. I will carve a pumpkin in your memory and I will remember all the times we did that together and especially the trip I made to VT just to buy you a pumpkin.!

I miss and love you Dave....Paul asked me to marry him on July 12th and I was so saddened that you were not here to celebrate with me. I know you were there in spirit because you blew out the candles and knocked over the flowers to let me know you were there....I think of you every single minute of every day and I kiss your picture every morning. Thank you for your love and support ~ Mom

Hi Dave,
Its been 3 months and we think of you often. After your Mom's eulogy at the service I was inspired and am pleased to say that I've started an excel spreadsheet! Missing you!
Love,
Auntie Jill

Goofy Sweet Ridiculous Dave,
I miss you daily, I think of you daily. Almost everything reminds me of you. I'll never forget your uniqueness or the crazy awesome moments we've shared. I remember sitting on a bridge with you in northern utah when you told me I needed to follow my dream... and everyday now, I'm living my dream. Thanks for opening my eyes. Love you.

David, I hope you are up there reading this and joyfully smiling as you look down upon us all. I finally dropped a knee and asked Anelise to be my wife. I know you would be so proud, even though saving up for the ring meant I couldn't join you for a beach vacation. Pretty sure you'd respect it. Miss ya man. We'll keep a seat open at the wedding for you. Please feel free to join us.

Dave,

There isn't a day that I don't think about you. Daily, I think what would Dave have done here? What adventures would he be taking this weekend? What joke or story of his would I be laughing at now? I'll always miss you, but in a sense you are still with me everyday.

Dave -
The last time I saw you you were conducting impromptu yoga classes every morning and making fun of me for not joining in. Later, you pulled me aside and said, "but seriously, just try it. You'll feel so good". I've been pretty much every day since I got back to Oregon. You were right. Love ya and miss you buddy. Stephan
