A loving and caring man, David had a quick wit and gregarious sense of humor. He was loyal beyond belief to his family and friends. Once you were his friend it was for life and he would do anything within his power to help you. He enjoyed motion picture films especially of the “Horror” genre. He enjoyed super hero genre especially his favorite, Batman. He was a long time ardent professional wrestling fan. Throughout the course of his life he had the opportunity to attend many of the greatest professional wrestling events they offer. His personality allowed him to meet many of the professional wrestlers including his favorite Hulk Hogan, Scott Hall and Kevin Nash who considered him a friend he was close with them over years. He enjoyed his collection of pictures with the wrestlers. Yet above all else he loved spending time with his family and friends the most. He will be deeply missed.
