My brother David was born with a strong sense of responsibility that manifested in his family & friends from his youth. He found work in the local store at the age of 10 making deliveries, and gave his earnings to his single mom to help sustain the family & did that for about 4 years until his mom remarried & we moved across the mountains. 

We were preachers kids & rebellious, but we knew of our Creator & Savior. David became a firefighter & EMT as an adult, continuing to help others. After retiring from the fire department, he worked at Boeing his remaining career.  David had a very strong sense of right & wrong & justice and he walked in those values every day of his life. He was loyal & devoted to his beloved wife, Gayle, & his children & granddaughter.

The family is thankful that David had the time to reconnect with God in a deeper measure before his transition to Heaven. His celebration service after his passing  centered on that reconnection with God, the Source of who David was on this earth—who God created. A man of truth, honor, devotion, helper, understanding, justice, & humor; a man not to be forgotten who left an imprint on the lives of the people he touched. You are forever remembered my dear brother.
