I met Dave in high school when I was 16. We hung out together in a big group of 8-10 people, a mix of Centennial and Howard high school folks. He was always so calm and kind. We often ended up hanging out at his parents' house, as his parents and brothers were so welcoming and friendly.  Dave and I saw each other on and off throughout college and afterwards. I moved to Chicagoland in 2006, but several times when I visited Maryland, Dave and his family were there to say hello and welcome me back. When my mom passed away in 2021, Dave was there again to support me by attending my mom's memorial. He was such a dependable, kind, and warm person. I miss him. His family is very lucky to have had such a lovely son, husband, and father.
I had the distinct privilege of working with David during his Daughter's enormously challenging and inspiring health battle . David was an unwaveringly kind, patient and gentle soul. His diligence and grace in dealing with his daughter’s tragic illness and miraculous recovery was humbling to witness, and to say this news is an unbelievable shock is an understatement. David had the ability to reassure those around him through his mere presence alone. A truly immense loss to his family, friends and our organization. He will remain in my memories as an instrumental mentor during the beginning of my professional career.

I met Dave in 2000. I had just started dating Daniel and I was always at the Frank house. At the time, Dave was quiet and reserved and I didn’t know him well. Then in 2001, Dave met Andrea. From the moment they met, Dave lit up. He was so happy and his laugh was infectious. I spent the next 10 years going on many trips, family gatherings, weddings, and just hanging out with him and Andrea. 

In 2010 we both became parents. It was perfect. Dean and Samantha grew up together and then 2-3 years later Sadie and Evelyn followed. We became even closer. We would try to get together weekly to have the cousins play.  Between camping, the beach, parks, the pool we were always together. My girls always loved their time with uncle Dave. 

Some of my favorite memories of Dave are when he would just show up at our house, pop a seltzer, and just talk. I could talk to Dave about anything. 

Dave has always been amazing but over the last 23 years I got to see what an incredible husband, uncle, father, son, and brother he was. 

Thanks for being the best brother for the last 23 years, Dave. I’ll miss you 

I was so sorry to hear about David's passing. He was such a kind person. He will be missed. Sending our condolences to Andrea and the children. 💙

Justin and I were on vacation in Oaxaca when we learned of Dave's passing. We lit a candle at the Church of Santo Domingo for Dave.
Franksgiving was always the best holiday for our family and for us kids the best part of course was when we were told we finally could eat dessert. I remember always being blown away by how many pieces of pie Dave could eat. WHERE DID HE PUT IT ALL?! We will miss you Dave.

Dave came by my house after he found out our friends were hosting a keg party for their baby shower. He wanted to draft a cease and desist letter to tape to their house as Andrea and him had a baby kegger shower earlier that year. We came up with this and Erin and Paul thought it was the funniest thing.

Hung out with Dave at the Columbia gym. All he wanted to do was talk about how Evelyn was. He loved his family so much.
