In the last decade of his life, Dave found solace and community at Anchored Life Ministries, where he attended worship services and enjoyed fellowship with others. He was a devoted man of faith who dedicated himself to daily prayer for his family, friends, and world events.

Dave had a passion for reading, particularly historical books about World War II. He made it a point to stay informed about current events by watching the news daily, always seeking to understand the world around him. When Dave relocated to Colorado, he eagerly sought knowledge about his new surroundings. He had a wonderful sense of humor and found joy in sharing jokes with those around him. Breakfast was his favorite meal, and he relished the simple pleasures of life.

Dave's memory will forever be treasured by his family, friends, and all who knew him. He leaves behind a legacy of dedication, faith, and a love for learning. May he rest in peace.
