• I am so sorry to hear about the loss of such a wonderful man. Dave stands out in my mind for so many reasons - his unwavering passion for music, his ever-present smile, and his obvious love and care for those around him, including me. He really wore his heart on his sleeve as the saying goes, and what a big heart it was. Dave always made me feel like I really mattered and I am sure that was a gift he gave to many. My heartfelt sympathy goes out to all members of Dave's family. I will really miss him. - Posted by: Janice Finlay (friend, teacher) on: Jul 21, 2013

• I first met David at my tender age of 7. He practiced in a band; in the basement of my parent's grocery/restaurant business, Regent Grocery. Better known as Andree's.... at Hoka & Regent. I'd spent hours upon hours watching him drum with such sheer passion. It soon had me drumming with wooden spoons on the restaurant stools. I also remember him drinking his many coffees black. - Posted by: Paul Andree (inspired musical aquaintance) on: Jul 21, 2013

• David was one of my route instructors in 1994 at wpg transit. he had showed how to stay calm under pressure. I later found out that year he was a musician and a drummer such as myself. a few years later found out he was a motorcycle enthusiast. Long roads are driven hard ........but true brothers are always in arms. I love you my brother, music and the roads won't be the same. - Posted by: Lee Daniels (friend, fellow drummer, former co'worker) on: Jul 19, 2013

• I did not know David but wished to offer sincere condolences. Life does have unexpected occurrences, but the scriptures provide comfort when these tragedies strike. For example, John 5:28,29 indicates that "those in the memorial tombs will hear his voice and come out." What a wonderful promise, our lost loved ones will live again. Through the comfort from the scriptures, we can have a hope for the future. - Posted by: Someone who cares () on: Jul 19, 2013

• I met Dave at Midwest Karate, where he trained under Sensei Jerry Marr. He had been a student for quite a while & attended the noon hour classes, as he was working in the band at night time. At that time he had a brown belt. I remember him as a very friendly guy, and had a great sense of humor. My condolences to the family. - Posted by: Donece Hughes (friend) on: Jul 18, 2013
