Although it has been several years since I have seen David. Two occasions are imprinted in my memory as if were yesterday. You Tami Jo, Kim and I were partying at our house in Groves, we drank an danced to John Cougar Mellencamp until the sun came up The second vividly remember David decided to try cooking chicken wings I think back then they were called Buffalo wings David had chicken wings all over the kitchen trying to make different kinds to make them Hotter well he got them Hot we went through plenty of paper towels wiping off the sweat and whole lot of beer we had a blast. Tami Jo you and your family are in our prayers. David thank you for your service, may you Rest In Peace

Oh my Brother Dave, there is such a lonely place in my heart knowing you are not here with us! I will miss all of the laughter we had! You are the one that taught me to laugh when I was a little girl! The tickling, the circle game, the snowball fights with you and Dan, all the pranks! So many precious memories! Some hard ones too and some fights along the way. 😂😂 You are the one that taught me to drive a standard! Thank you for loving me! You always said you loved having a baby sister! Even though we are 16 years apart I gave you a run for your money! 😂😂 You will never know how much I missed you when you moved away! I still have all the letters you wrote me! I love you Big Brother! I will keep you close in my heart always! 😘💕 We are praying for you Tami, Chris, Cassie and Andy! I love you all!

Daylight was a great man and a great brother. My life is better for having known him. He and I talked about his time in Viet Nam and I know he served his country with honor in some very trying times. Go rest high, brother. You earned it. Cowboy
