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

Thank you Amy for the info pings.

I just checked and saw that Dave is listed on the Free Republic Memorial Wall. DD, Freepers remember and honor you.

Thank you, Deo.

I checked the Memorial Wall last night. Was happy to see that Jim had added him. Looks like Jim is on the ball.

God Bless The Patriot Guard
So glad they will be there to honor DD on Saturday. Proud Navy Vet DD loved our troops.

Praying for all who loved Dave. I miss him.

Thank you, Meg.

I’m so happy that the Patriot Guard will be there Saturday and again Monday. DD would be so proud to be honored this way.

I’m hoping to make it for Saturday’s Celebration of Life. It will be a 2 hour plus drive each way. I think JustJr will take us there.

Dave has been a beloved member of the Fresno Chapter; he is truly missed.

Freeper40 is a member of The Patriot Guard. He contacted me about whether the family would like TPG at DD’s services.

For anyone who is not aware how to make this happen, please contact him and he will get you to the right person. If you want to, you may also contact me and I will have him contact you.

Thank you, South40 for making this happen. Diver Dave would be honored that TPG stood with his family and friends.
