Happy birthday
There will likely be a sting of pain everytime I think, “I wish I just had one last time with my dad.” Losing your parent leaves a forever hole in your heart, I unfortunately have had to face sooner than I expected.
I’m hoping now you’re free dad, floating in some ethereal dimension still somewhat in tune and can hear us as we talk to you, because I know I still will. I hope you’re free of pain, free of sorrow, free of it all. That gives me solace.
This is the poem I read during the sharing of memories at my dads service. It resonates with me deeply.
You never said I’m leaving
You never said goodbye.
You were gone before I knew it,
& no one really knows why.
A million times I needed you,
A million times I cried.
If love alone could have saved you,
You never would have died.
I life I loved you dearly,
In death I’ll love you still.
You hold a place in my heart,
That no one could fill.
It broke my heart to lose you,
But you didn’t go alone.
For part of me went with you
The day you went home.

In one's life your paths will cross with a select few people who you wish you would've met sooner or known longer. Dave was one of those few for me. I only knew Dave a couple of years. The stories he would tell,especially those from his youth,would make you grin as much as he was while telling it. The gleam in his eyes when he would say "Road Trip" made you laugh. The Daveness he would've brought to times ahead for so many will be missed. It was an honor and a pleasure to have known him. I will always remember you with a smile Dave.
My heart and prayers go out to his daughters, his brother Bryan and his mother and father. May God give you the strength to get through this terrible time. May Dave find peace now. I am truly sorry for your loss!! The Harms Family
We met when we where 5 years old and our friendship lasted for 48 years. We had so much fun as kids and as teens and when the adult life got in the way, we were always able to pick up where we left off. Im going to miss you very very much. If I had a crystal ball, I wish I could have called you on Thursday night and tell you I love you like a brother. God speed, Dave.
