Condolence: David was one of my Training Captains when I was in the SFD fire academy. David was always fair and concerned for our understanding of the responsibilities as future firefighters. Later on in my career, David was my Battalion Chief, and again his compassion and fairness was ever present when dealing with subordinates and supervisors alike. Ms. Rebecca, meeting you and seeing David for the first time in a few years at Mercy CANCT was great and sad.I am very sorry for your loss and I pray for God's comfort, guidance, and love to surround your family in your grieving. Take care and God bless.

Condolence: I had the distinct pleasure of working with Dave for many years at the Springfield Fire Dept. He was my Battalion Chief for a few of those years and he was one of the best for sure. RIP my dear friend, you will be sorely missed.

Condolence: Becky, Christyn, and Lauryn, our hearts are sadden to hear of the passing of this wonderful man that touched so many lives with his goodness. Sometimes life does not seem fair, but there is a God in heaven that comforts and sustains us and sees us through. So, we pray his peace would be upon you all. Keep David close to your hearts until that day you will all be reunited. God bless you, Jim & Marilyn Winfrey

Condolence: David was one of those people who, upon meeting him for the first time, you immediately liked him. He had a calm and approachable demeanor, and a genuine concern for people. I'm sure he will be missed by many people. My condolences to the Fenton family.

Condolence: The Barrett's are thinking of you all. We are praying for peace in your hearts~

Condolence: I have a lot of great memories of David as a kid going to the Nazarene church, playing on the same baseball team and going to church camp every summer. My condolences and praying for the family.

Condolence: Dave will always remain it our heart .He will be misses by all who knew him.

Condolence: My thoughts and prayers go out to his family. I had the honor of working briefly with Dave. One thing that stood at was his genuine interest in helping others. His desire to enrich the life of children was clear and determined. I always looked forward to his "good mornings" in the office, always a warm sincere smile. He spoke of his wife and children with such respect and expressed his gratitude for each of them. Then there was that sense of humor he shared, he knew how to "zing" you when you least expected it. I admired Dave, as he was one who truly took what he was doing for children seriously. He was an example of what you give to and for others is a gift to yourself. I am grateful for the crossing of our paths. May he now rest in peace and may his family find comfort in all the memories they made together. Mary Connolly (OACAC)
