20 Mar 2005 David was a fine Marine. Through his cheerful disposition and hard work, he won the respect of many. His untimely death while on patrol as a Fire Team Leader in the Quang Tri Province, Republic of Vietnam, was a source of great sorrow to all of the friends and family who knew him. David will always be remembered and loved by those who knew him. May God let him rest in peace. From a cousin, Janet Rowland Odella janodella@yahoo.com

13 Nov 2006 David was a great brother to me and I miss him every day. I always wonder how many children he would have and what career he would have chosen. His death devasted me and it has been a great loss in my life. I will never forget the things he taught me and the times we shared the many summers we spent together and at granny's house. I do know that he loved the Marines and he died fighting for the country he loved. Rest in peace, my dear brother, I love you and miss you dearly.
