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

I have been thinking a lot about him lately.
We will miss our FRiend Dave but we who are saved,
we who believed in the saving Grace of our Savior
Christ Jesus as Dave did, will be with him again.

God bless Dave. I was glad to be able to meet the man. He will be missed.

Thanks, Diver Dan, for your stalwart defense of my freedom, and for your unwavering commitment to America and to Free Republic.

You have been promoted by the real Commander in Chief; your watch is now over eternal horizons.

May God bless, strength, and provide for your family in your absence.

A great guy. God bless him and those he leaves behind.

[Grateful2God]

Eternal rest grant unto his soul oh Lord,
And let Thy perpetual light shine upon him.
May his soul, and all the souls of the faithful departed
Through the infinite Mercy of Almighty God,
Rest in peace forever. Amen

From one grateful for his, and all the service of our great Military, my prayers and condolences to all those whom he knew and loved.
God bless you, and give you His peace!

Thank you both, for your wonderful tribute to Diver Dave. The pictures and words touched my heart.

The words to this hymn seem appropriate, today:

Blest be the tie that binds
Our hearts in Christian love;
The fellowship of kindred minds
Is like to that above.
Before our Father’s throne,
We pour our ardent prayers;
Our fears, our hopes, our aims are one,
Our comforts, and our cares.
We share our mutual woes,
Our mutual burdens bear;
And often for each other flows
The sympathizing tear.
When we asunder part,
It gives us inward pain;
But we shall still be joined in heart,
And hope to meet again.

God Rest The Soul Of Dear Diver Dave
He loved God, his family and his country
He was an inspiration to me.
May God's Love And Comfort Surround His Family And Loved Ones
