For the loss of our friend. Anyone who knew him loved him. He was truly special. He never had a bad word to say about anyone. The Lord has welcomed him home with open arms!

Monica & family , we are so sad to learn of Sweet David’s passing. Anyone who was lucky enough to know David loved him. He was my Senior when I was in XRay school, & then I was privileged to work with him for 13 years, before you all moved. A bunch of us got together this past spring & all talked about how much we would have loved to see David, “Boat” as we affectionately called him. Please know many of his Old King’s Daughters family are praying for you & your family. God Bless, Jan Baker Conn
