After fighting ALS for several months, on Sunday morning Diver Dave was called home to Jesus' loving arms.
According to his family, he is having a great reunion with his parents, his oldest sister, his parents-in-law and many others including many FReepers.

As we recall what a Patriot Diver Dave was, it seems appropriate that he joined FreeRepublic July 4, 1998.
Dave loved this country and our troops. Many times, he drove 2 hours each way to join the Fresno Freepers in support of our troops.

Dave had a very strong faith that was an inspiration to many of us. He faced his ALS and his other health issues knowing that he was in God's Hands
and he was ready for whatever His decision would be. His faith and positive attitude was always inspiring.

His last post was at Amy's Place on January 19, 2015.

You will be missed, DD. RIP

For Diver Dave's Family:

Eternal rest, grant unto him, O Lord,

To: The Mayor

Thank you for always being here for all of us, Mayor.

Since he was diagnosed with ALS, his time online has been decreasing. I think he may have still visited but typing posts was getting more and more difficult for him

Free Republic misses him.

This is wonderful, Amy. I know Dave would be so honored to have the Patriot Guard at his service. And I know it will mean so much to Linda and his children and grandsons.

I am so grateful for what the Patriot Guard does. God Bless them!
