Chrissy, Brandy and Davie, I am sorry to hear of the loss of your father. Amy Martin Koch
A truly beautiful video tribute to David. It shows the true and real side of my brother. He loved his family most. He was so proud of his children and grandchildren. His face shows his pride and joy in each picture. He lived a beautiful life. He was a man of few words but every word that was spoken from him was of substance and wisdom. He was always there for his siblings unconditionally in every kind of way. Always just a phone call away. He loved his career and was so proud of his accomplishments. David was highly self-motivated and made awesome strides in his education and career against all adversities that stood in his way. A special place in my heart will go to Kathy his lovely wife. What a person to fill his life and make his dreams come true. She stood by his side and brought him joy that only a devoted spouse could do. We watched her care for him like I have never seen She truly loved my brother and it showed. Thank you Kathy Love you David your sis Cheryl

Chrissy, Brandy, and David I'm sorry to hear about the loss of your dad. I can't imagine what you all are going though. You have my sympathy and god bless you and all the babies.
It was my pleasure to work with David on the midnight shift at MAOH for many years. Karen work with David at both Parkland Hospital and at MAOH in the lab. I also had the pleasure of working with David at WCMH before he got so sick. He was a good friend at work and great to work with. I will always remember the fun times we had at work and some of the jokes he could play on us his co-workers. I believe that Kathy made a better man of Dave and made his life complete. I will always remember David and the times on the midnight shift at MAOH. GOD BLESS YOU DAVID AND YOUR FAMILY. A friend and co-worker John
David's memory won't ever be forgetten by us. The good time's I had working w/ him in the lab at work especialy. This was definetly my most favorite job I've ever had ,and he helped me get it. He took Matt and I jet skiing at the lake with him and the good fishing stories we always talked about. He was very generous person that always let out a helping hand to anyone. Also a great mentor.
Kathy and Family, I saw David's obituary in the Journal on-line. I was so sorry to hear that he had died. It was quite a shock. I wasn't aware that he was sick. You truly have my sympathy. I have nothing but nice things to say about Dave. He was always kind and pleasant to me and I will always remember him with fondness. If I were in Missouri I would certainly be there during this terrible time. Just know that you are in my thoughts and prayers and I hope that I will see you the next time I visit home. God Bless all of you. Love, Rhonda
