Rest easy in Gods peace Dave.
You were a great childhood friend , and Im so glad we had FB to watch you and your wife and little boy go through this life with such faith and grace. The world has lost a great man.
Mike and I have known Lindy since Nikki was 4 or 5. We all have so many great memories of us all together for many occasions. David came to our house several times to visit, but one memory that sticks out is back in his drinking days. The whole family was on the way to Thanksgiving dinner in St Paul and stopped for a drink. Lindy brought her famous braunschweiger dip and we all had a cocktail. David was always happy around family and friends and always made us laugh! Hard to believe it! He was so young. But he will live on in our hearts just like his mama. God bless all the family. I have no doubt that you will all survive and stay strong!
We are so sorry and are praying hard for you all! Our hearts ache for you. I had the pleasure of meeting Dave and he was such an amazing guy. He had a heart of gold and a passion for safety. I learned a lot and will always remember him.
Dave had a heart bigger than anyone I know. His smile could light up a room. He will never be forgotten.
On behalf of the Constructon Safety Group of Kansas City (CSG), we send heartfelt condolences. “Safety Dave” was a pillar in the Safety & Health Community. He was always the first to help when anyone was in need. His legacy will live long into the future. May your memories of Dave, and the knowledge that he helped so many, comfort you in your time of loss.
On behalf of the Environmental Consortium, losing Dave is a huge loss to all responders. He has been such a huge help to the industry insofar as making sure that people are property trained, educated and we will miss him terribly. Several of our folks have been friends with Dave for many many years and they are feeling and mourning the loss of their very dear friend. May God shine His many blessings on Dave’s family and keep them enfolded in His loving arms now and throughout the days and years to come.
David could lift a whole building with his heart and song. He gained admiration from everyone who knew him with his thoughtfulness and kindness that he never hesitated to share. Our hearts and prayers go out for him and his family
On behalf of Mike Hagen Electric, we offer our sincere sympathy to the family. Safety Dave was an essential part of keeping us safe and focused on the job site. We will surely miss his knowledge and guidance.

Growing up David was more like a brother to me than a cousin. Family gatherings were an opportunity for us to clown around, wrestle, and get in trouble most of the time.
We went our separate ways as adults and thanks to Facebook we learned about each other’s lives and even talked on the phone for the first time in 50 years. It was good to see him very happy and with his loving family.
Rest in Peace my brother

I don’t even know how to start. He was a wonderful friend and filled my life with as much gladness as he is now filling it with sadness. He will be remembered for his kindness and caring, his ability to make everyone feel included but most of all his awesome ability to play the “air guitar”. He was loved and respected by so many people and he will continue to be a part of my life through my cherished memories. I love and miss you Super – Julie-Julie-Julie
I’m so sorry for your loss. Prayers for you all during this difficult time.
Dear Lisa and Nicklaus,
We have a huge hole in our office from the place Dave held. Everybody enjoyed sharing our lives together. It was such a joy seeing his smiling face heading down the hall. May God comfort you with the knowledge He is holding Dave right now, no more sorrows or pain and keep you in his care. We’ll all miss him.
Lisa,
I’m sorry to hear of Dave’s passing. I’m not sure who gave him the name “Super”, maybe it was himself, but I must say is was so appropriate. Super in so many ways.
I cherish the fun times we shared.
My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.

He consistently reached out and cheered for my growth in the industry! I will miss his connection and knowledge! Loving prayers to his family!
In loving memory of Dave! It’s so hard to say goodbye to a man that would light up the room the minute he walked through the door! Dave was a generous, loving, spiritual, and compassionate man who loved his family with an unending love! His love for life was so evident every time you saw him! To know Dave was to love him! Our love and prayers to all of Dave’s family and may God grant each and every one of you the peace that passeth our understanding! May you all rest in the assurance that Dave will hold each one of you in his arms again, and you will be dancing a two-step around Heaven’s floor! Our sincerest sympathy and love to each of you!
