I love you Uncle Dave. Thank you for being a provider and a protector. Thank you for the great memories and wonderful times camping. I wish you an eternity of fishing on your mountain top. Please give my parents a hug for me. Rest In Peace.

My deepest sympathies to the family and friends. Death at any age is difficult. May you find comfort in the words found at 1 Corinthians 15:26. It says: And the last enemy, death, is to be brought to nothing. And Hosea 13:14 says "From the power of the Grave I will redeem them; From death I will recover them." A wonderful promise from Jehovah God who cannot lie.
