David was always there for anyone that needed him no matter if he was not able to take care of himself, he would take care of others first. Davidâs heart was large and caring. He loved all living things, people, animals, anything of life. He had a laugh and smile that lit up any room. Fly high, Davers, you donât need to run anymore. Youâre free!!!
