He was a very special brother, who lived life to the fullest. Tried to make everyone happy and would try to cheer you up if he could. He was my little brother and I miss him.





On the evening of June 4, 1993, my brother had tried to call me and I wasn't home. I was at a ballgame and he wanted to talk. I guess he was looking for someone to talk to, because he was fighting with his wife. Well he did get ahold our mom and talked to her for about an hour. He told her that he was going out with a couple of friends around 10pm. Before he left, he took his son out for some icecream and spent sometime with him. His friend picked him up to go out around 10pm. Around 12:00 a.m., my older brother Donald received a phone call from David asking him to meet him at the bar he was at. My brother said he couldn't go out at that time. Donald received two more phone calls after that, begging him to meet him, but he still said no to him.
About 3:30 a.m. David was leaving the bar with his friend, who had also been drinking. They decided to take the back roads to his house to drop him off. David never made it home.
The road they had taken had a lot of sharp turns and his friend never made the one turn. The truck crashed on one of the turns and it hit a tree on my brothers side.
David was 24 years old and was the father of four children. The youngest was a set of twins just a little over 2 years old. His children were his life. David was also the heart of our family, the baby of four children himself, and the one who would always try to help everyone. He never asked for nothing in return and would give you the shirt off his back if you needed it.
We now think, should we have been home for his phone call, should my brother have gone out, and should something have prevented him from going out. We all miss him.
The driver that killed my brother was an underage drinker. He really didn't get much of a punishment, even though he did drive the truck that killed my brother. He is now back on the streets and driving around, while my brothers kids still can't see there father anymore. Is this ever going to end? They say the laws are getting tougher on DWI, but to me, they aren't tough enough. No one should have to go through this and hopefully this will end, but for now, there is no end in sight for drinking and driving. Everyone who drinks and drives have a theory that it just won't happen to them, well I feel that eventually it will.
