He was one of my favorite Big Boy regulars back in the day, as well as my friend. He was a wonderful man, and though I haven’t seen him in years since moving away, I’ve thought of him often and have missed him dearly. Sending prayers and my deepest condolences to his family during this time of grieving. ❤️

It was an honor and pleasure to get to know and take care of David in his last months. He was funny and kind. He had such a love for his kids. Always excited to know they were coming to visit. He loved to laugh and pick on us girls. It was truly a blessing to have gotten to know him in the time I was granted.

David was so ready, he said he lived so long and was ready. Blessing and Love to the Lovett family.
