I hope you feel surrounded by much love. Wishing you peace and comfort during this difficult time. I will always remember Dave as one of my very best friends. We started as co-works at Stofchecks.  Then one day he became our hero. Saving my daughters life when she was just a couple months old. That lead to an ever lasting friendship.  I will miss you always Dave!

My heart broke when I heard the news of Dave's passing. He was always someone you were glad to see & had such a sweet smile to give. I truly don't think he ever knew a stranger. The world is a little dimmer without him here however the memories of him still shine bright.

Very saddened to hear about Dave’s death.  We did a lot of medical teaching together and it was my fortune to work with him on the EMS council for Marion County. Dave was one of our leaders in the EMS community.  He was always the voice of reason.  A great paramedic, teacher and mentor.  He will be very much missed in the medical and EMS community.   My condolences to his family.

Dave was one of the instructors in my medic class back in 2015/2016. I had given up on myself but he didn’t! He pushed me to be the best I could be and I’m now at a point in my career that wouldn’t have been possible without him. Thank you for everything Dave, Rest In Peace my friend. My prayers are with you all.
