    Lea Ann that is the perfect pIcture to show the David we all knew and loved. You and Autumn remain in my thoughts and prayers. David was a great guy. I really do feel honored to have grown up in Livonia with him. There were a lot of good memories probably more of the older boys picking on the younger girls. Haha Thanks for being one of those older boys. David you may have GONE before but your memories keep you alive everyday. Loved and Missed

    So sad that David has gone so early, but he is rejoicing with our Lord in a beautiful place and will be waiting there to welcome you and Autumn when God takes you both home. David is whole again and free from pain, and you take comfort in that, but let those tears flow cause you are going to miss him. Praying for you, Autumn and the rest of his family!

    So very, very sorry for your loss. I'm a few years old and I still think of David as that little sweetheart of a kid who played in the neighborhood in Livonia, always laughing and happy. My sympathy to Lea Ann, Betty and all the family.

    Ronald David reminds me my bro like cousin Nizam Mohammad who lost his battle against cancer last 26th september,his date of birth was 29th june 1966... Death ends a life, not a relationship,a man is never dead till his name is still spoken... So ,Ronald David and Nizam Mohammad,gone from our lives,but never gone from our heart,we will miss you and love you always... Sultana Begum(Betty's fb friend)
