A year ago tonight. . . that I heard you left me . . . and your siblings, our relatives and friends. Those of us who were with you from the time you were born. . . .we miss you, I miss you. In life's natural order children do not pass on before the parents, but with us, losing your Tatay, then you (2 weeks before Tatay's 1st death anniversary) . . . .unbearable for me. All I can do is recall and fill my thoughts of you growing up, living to the fullest . . . I miss you and love you, anak. Say hello to everyone up there with you, Tatay and Camden and Ryan, Bob (Wendy's dad), and members of our family who have gone before us here. . . duke, tiger, peanut, stewie, sylvie and sirius....too

Rest in peace, Dennis! We had some good laughs at Congressional School, didn't we? I will definitely see you on the other side!

I met Dave when he entered Wendy's life so many years ago. He made her smile like no other living person. Immediately the dog stories started with Tiger knocking a shelf off the wall and onto Wendy. Then the food stories, I am a foodie also so we compared Turkey cooking methods every Thanksgiving, I think the spatchcocked one finally gained his respect. He wasn't just a dog person, he and Wendy are responsible for obtaining the 3 felonious felines now in my llife. Wendy found Esmirelda when my old girls were failing and believe me she added life to the house. Then David searched for and found Tortishell kittens for me when my beloved Melissa died. They are all still a part of the family. Thank You David for all you brought to the world. especially our small corner of it. Your gift of love for Wendy will live forever.
Wendy, the service was excellent and so well done. I know you are strong but it is OK to be weak sometimes too. Know that there is always someone a call away. I love you always, every minute of every day. You will feel David around you from time to time. He will help you transition to life in this world without him, enjoy those moments and the love and caring of the strong support system he helped you build. We are all here for you. Feel our arms wrapped around you.
Love,
Aunt Debbi

Dennis was truly a great friend and brother. I will always cherish the great times we had in junior high, high school and college and his love of drawing, his obsession with cars, and most of all his great sense of humor. Rest in peace little brother.

We are the Inge family. We knew David And Wendy from the Fair Oaks youth group that our three children where in, but we lost Touch after we left the church. It was just a few weeks ago that I found that David and I had something in common. He was going through dialysis and my mom was going to be doing the same treatment as him, so my husband said I should reach out to David maybe he could help me through this and my husband Graham was right. David did just that. He talked me down the edge of the building that I felt I was standing on all on my own. Some how David knew just what to say to put my mind at ease. I had know idea what to do and what questions to ask but David did. David was a light in a very dark place. I will be forever grateful that my family knew both him and wonderful wife Wendy. Thank you.

Dave and Wendy are my fairly new step-in-laws. Wendy's mom married my husband's father. I didn't know Dave terribly well, but have spent a handful of times with him and Wendy, and when we tuned in tonight, I felt my relationship with him was insignificant in comparison to everyone who was speaking. But, everyone kept mentioning the dogs...the dogs...the dogs. Then the pastor said more about dogs, and Dave's love for dogs, immediately followed by how he knew Dave showed up for people tonight. I want to say that we had one of our family dogs put down this morning, and I've been in tears about the whole situation for the past 2 days. I laughed out loud tonight because Dave just about tapped me on the shoulder and said, "It's cool. I've your dog!" So thankful for him showing up for little me. ♥️ Love you Wendy. To Dave's family, I'm so sorry. Praying for all of you!

David had a generous and giving heart, passionate about life. Josh and I are truly blessed to have known him, love him and call him friend. He always made me smile and laugh every time I saw him. Wendy and David's strength and faith have been an inspiration to me and remind me that all things are possible through Christ. We love you Wendy.

Sending love from Texas. We were so blessed to know Dave and our hearts hurt. Our favorite memories will be from the Springfield Spartan Football Field. Dave and Wendy somehow always managed to find time to spend their Friday nights with us and invest in our son, Tommy. Dave would yell at the refs and Wendy would roll her eyes. Dave was "all-in" no matter what and he invested in our Family in ways we will cherish forever. We love and miss you, Wendy. Thank you for sharing your amazing man with all of us. That big smile is lighting up heaven right now. ~ Rob and Cackie Howe

David is a strong friend who loved the Lord and loved people. Whether you were sharing a time of challenge or one of fun with David, he was fully present and was drawn to those who's heart needed extra attention. He dove in to be with those in need. You are greatly missed!

Death of a loved one especially someone so close can never be easy but you are a strong person, Wendy, and with God, family and friends surrounding you, you will learn how to live with the loss. Just take your time. I could never forget how funny David can be and how much he makes you laugh. May he rest in peace. Take care. - Claire from PSAD.

From Lou and Joy Salazar:
We consider it such a blessing when Dennis came to our lives in the late ' 80's. He came to Canada to pursue his studies in Architecture at the University Of Toronto. He spent many weekends with us to get away from dorm life, or when he wasn't feeling well or was homesick, or even just to satisfy his craving for Filipino food. He became a son to us, and a big brother to our daughter, Wendy, and to Lou's sister, Lala.
From daughter Wendy: For 3 years, I had an older brother. That meant a lot to an only child. I was starting out in high school when he attended U of T. He would sometimes drive Lala and me to piano lessons; hang out in my room reading and discussing the latest fad from my Teen Magazines; and even traveled to Quebec City with the family to watch me play clarinet in a high school band competition. He loved music and would create dance mix tapes for me. He was kind, generous, and caring. Dennis, may you rest in Peace.
From Lala who arrived in Canada while Dennis was in his second year in university: " I didn't get to know you much, but I could remember him as a smart, caring, big " brother figure and an overall genuine guy."
Goodbye, Dennis. Be at peace with Lola Ching and Lolo Ping up there. Who knows, they'll still probably asking you for advice on how to decorate the stage for their Seniors' Show!

“Aunt” Jean and I cannot express in words the sorrow we feel for you with the loss of David. He was truly a great person. David and I would talk about cars and fishing and many other topics. We always enjoyed being with you and David when you came home to visit your parents. The Christmas Eves were always a great time.
If there is anything we can do for you please do not hesitate to call us. I want to reassure you as my Goddaughter that you are truly loved by your “Aunt” Jean and me.
