Rest in peace. I think this obituary provides a public service in reminding people that the range of traffic accident injuries is a lot more complicated than just fatal or non-fatal.

One thinks of all that they have accomplished in the past 36 years, things that he never got the chance to do!! If there is indeed a heaven his true wishes will come true…You will be remembered David!!

I remember him from school. He had the most beautiful blue eyes, gorgeous curly hair, the nicest personality and a brilliant mind. It was a tragic accident and a good man is now gone. Run with the angels, David. Our thoughts are with your family.
