"This world and its desires are in the process of passing away, but those who love to do the will of God live forever."

1 John 2:17

David went home with Jesus on Saturday, April 19, 2025. His passion for living drew others into a realm of adventure and fun. His many stories and laughter will be missed. Thank you, David, for your bold love and childlike faith in our Heavenly Father and Son, Jesus. We will "See you later!"
