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

Thanks for the thread Amy and sharing the sad news. Dave was a kind and good man. Much has been said so accurately by others, but those two words stand out in my mind.

Thanks for sharing these pictures of the celebration of a hero’s life with all of us.
I would expect nothing less for this navy man and the PGR know how to do it right!

Oh, Amy, thank you so much for bringing us all with you to join in the celebration of Dave’s life, with the video, music and pictures.
My heart joined you (and friends and family), even though I could not be with you.
Dave’s devoted love of his family and of Christ, his patriotism, his intense support of our Veterans, his consistent sense of humor through all life’s rough journeys, and that constant smile will be missed by all who knew him.

(In a Time of Universal Deceit, Telling the Truth Is a Revolutionary Act)
To: JustAmy
O God of spirits and of all flesh,
You have trampled down death
and have abolished
the power of the devil,
giving life to Your world.
Give rest to the soul
of Your departed servant David
in a place of light,
in a place of repose,
in a place of refreshment,
where there is no pain,
sorrow, and suffering.
As a good and loving God,
forgive every sin he has committed
in thought, word or deed,
for there is no one who lives
and is sinless.
You alone are without sin.
Your righteousness
is an everlasting righteousness,
and Your word is truth.
For You are the resurrection,
the life
and the repose of Your departed servant David
Christ our God,
and to You we give glory,
with Your eternal Father
and Your all holy,
good and life-giving Spirit,
now and forever and to the ages of ages.
AMEN.
