A passionate football fan, David never missed cheering for his favorite team, and he was equally at home in the kitchen, where he loved sharing his culinary creations with family and friends. His greatest passion, however, was his children, who were his pride and joy. Father to three, David loved fiercely and laughed often. He was a man of honor and humor, reminding everyone around him to always do the right thing for the right reasons, regardless of consequence. He carried this sentiment with him through this later medical battles.
