David was a friend from CHS and a good baseball teammate. David always smiled when we got together to talk about “the good ole days”. I remember David who could throw a baseball, straight over-armed, as far as centerfield to home plate. However, most of all David was a man with a kind heart. He had grown to love Jesus as Savior and try to live a life that was proof of his faith. We will all miss that smiling, ball face.
