Mr. & Mrs. Butell, words cannot express the sorrow that I feel over the loss of your son and my friend, David. My memories of all the good times we had from St. Johns through Lawrence High will keep a smile on my face. God Bless you in these difficult days.
David was one of my best friends in High School. I moved away to Colorado and lost touch. David and his wonderful parents kept me (an at-risk youth) fed and grounded. I am shocked and saddened to hear of his passing. My heart goes out to all those in his life because I know he touched others as deeply as myself. You’ll forever be one of the coolest kids I knew David. God bless.
