David will be missed by so many. His glass was always half-full no matter what he was up against. Dave was there for his many friends asking what else can I do. Knowing him meant so much.

Dave and I met since we lived in the same apartment building but instantly bonded over our love for motorcycles. He shared all the trips he has been on and encouraged me to do a trip like those someday. When I make it to Italy, I'll dedicate it to you David. Our small chats will be missed. Thank you for always brightening my day.

My sincerest condolences to the families and friends touched by David. I met David for the first time on a Lake Superior Tour in 2022. We are distant cousins. His stories of his family helped me to better understand our family history. Even with his medical issues, he showed a love of life that wasn't going to let his medical issues get in away. I regret I did not have an opportunity to meet him sooner. He will be missed. I hope his memories of his life help to ease the pain during this mourning period and in the future.
