Ellen : So sorry to hear of your loss . David will be missed by many people.
"Death brings pain that only time can heal,
No words could ease what we truly feel;
But with God, his joy is eternally sealed,
And cherish his memories that death can't even steal.
Lift up a smile for he is already in Paradise"

I am truly saddened by David's death. He was a good man, who was passionate about the heritage of Swain County. I will always remember my walks and trips to decoration with David, Ellen and others on the North Shore of Fontana Lake. David will be sorely missed by those of us that had the pleasure of knowing him.

Although I just met David at Mike's first Town Hall in Bryson City a few weeks ago, I could tell what kind of man he was and know he will be sorely missed by his community. I also attended a meeting at the Swain County Hospital he attended, and again you just knew how involved he was in the community. He truly cared about his fellow residents and I will miss getting to know him better. I send my deepest sympathies for such a loss to his family.

My heart is heavy with the loss of David and my thoughts and prayers go out to his family. I've known David since I was a child and I cannot imagine life in Swain County without him. His energy and passion will be missed, as well as his caring and compassion. He was, quite simply, one of the finest men I have had the pleasure to know and work with.

David's passing truly saddens many within Swain County. He was my RA, Royal Ambassador, instructor many years ago at Franklin Grove Baptist Church, he help to mold my believe in God, Christ and the Holy Spirit. I've always remembered he was quick with a warm smile, kind words and yes, love for his fellow man. Later in life, this man helped me to tie dry flies and to fish for trout... yes, this isn't much for most, but it kept me in check for Fly fishing was a passion shared by many of our local community. But he was more than that... He was a man that busted Heaven's Gate wide open.
I will pray for the family, even shed some tears of sadness. But in my heart I know this man is Praising God as I type this out. Yes, David will be missed. I only wish I knew him better in life.
