David was an academy classmate and was the sage of the class as he was a tad older than most. He was always making us laugh when the tension was high. solid dude.

Just thinking of you, buddy. I now work for the Burnet County Sheriff's Office and all of our patrol units have your memorial sticker. I see Tanya and the boys once in awhile...I know you keep watch over us and your family. With much love and admiration for you, Sir.
