We are deeply sorry for your loss ~ Stewart Baxter Funeral & Memorial Services – Mount Vernon
David was a very kind and loving individual. He was a fantastic father and a great grandfather to all of his grandchildren. He was the kind of individual that was always there for those in need and was willing to do absolutely everything he could to be of help to someone whether he knew them or not. I love you and miss you very much David. I believe we will see each other again in heaven. May you rest in peace
I visited with David at our high school class reunion this past Summer. He was the same guy I remembered, an all around good guy, and one who had a ready grin and a story to tell.
My sincere condolences to all of David’s family who must surely be as kind as he was.
