David loved having any opportunity to be in the woods—cutting wood or hunting. Fishing was also a joy to him. He loved working on vehicles and spending time with his children. He had a deep love for people and would help anybody he could. His family and friends were his pride and joy and he will be truly missed by them—it won’t be the same without him.
