David's obituary

David passed quietly late at night on June 25th.  He had become very ill and was not in pain at the time of transition.  For that his family and loved ones are grateful.  David was a good man, a friend to those in need.  He would help strangers and loved ones alike; dropping everything to 'go help'.  His smile would light up a room, his eyes would twinkle with wonderment.  

When his son, Cash was born David tended to his every need and want.  He would do anything for Cash, vowing to never leave his side.  His great love was his son; the loss of David is now profound.  As his wife, Teri and his two mothers, Debra Ruffner and Jo Ann Brandon comforted Dave in his time of passing Dave slipped away.  He is now free, happy, without pain and with his brother Daniel.  For 4 1/2 years he only wanted to be with his brother Daniel and now he is there, two bright stars in an ocean of sky.  He will be deeply missed.
