I hear terms like bright light, light up a room, or give u the shirt off his back about other people on TV and stuff. I always thought it was tacky and generic. Until now.
Knowing David has made me a better person. His optimism, abundant kindness and love of life made me happy and now those memories make me want to hold on to that and spread it everywhere I go.
David and I had a conversation about how one random act of kindness can change a life for the better. David said he wanted to change lots of lives for the better, it showed in nearly all his interactions. Eventhough he passed way way to young, it didn't stop him from successfully executing his goal.
He was crazy kind, and so caring with our team and our customers.
Sometimes I would be be cranky or whatever at work. It never lasted long if David was on shift., It's hard to be cranky when u have someone who's as happy, smiley and competent zipping around you making your job and life so much better.
There are so many wonderful people in this world; but David was a bright light that lit up the whole room and continues to light up my memories. I've shared some of those memories with my current employees and co-workers. At 44 years old I hope I can bring the same bright light David short life brought and encourage my team to do the same.
I watched David literally give someone his jacket. So I'm confident he would've given em the shirt off his back if they needed it too.
Just saying...

I always feel terrible writing generic stuff like this but my deepest condolences to David's family.
I met David briefly when I helped my mom cover a shift at her Pizza Hut store. He was kind and gentle when helping me figure out their store’s layout. I didn’t feel scared or out of place. I barely knew the dude but his passing hit hard. I’ve never liked it when such a bright light goes dark.
David was important to my mom and, since I admire his personality and character, to me. I just wish I could’ve told him.
Rest well, my Pizza Hut brother. Gone too soon. 🕊️

When David was born his heart had stopped and the Dr had to bring him back.. David was my blessing. David was amazing man, with a big heart, David didn't have a oz of meanness in him.. David was looked up to from his brothers (Gauge,Gabriel,Daniel, Little Jason)and sisters (Valentina, Angelica). David was not just my son but also my best friend. I wouldn't be here today if it wasn't for David.. I am so proud of you David, could ask for a better son.. I love and miss you son..
