David was in his glory when in the woods listening to nature or walking a stream looking for special rocks and Indian stuff.

Few people really got to get close to David; if you did you found a compassionate, thoughtful and caring young man with a giant smile and twinkle in his eyes. He gained the affection of children easily and enjoyed their genuine connection.
