Tributes & Memories
Q: How did you meet David? A: My family (the Shepherds) built the home at 8349 E 13th. Once, many years ago, I was passing through Tulsa and stopped by. David was very sweet, and allowed me to do a sentimental walkthrough of what had been my childhood home. We had a lovely chat, and I've never forgotten him. Not everyone would welcome a stranger into their home. I remain grateful for his kindness.

Dear Family, I am so sorry for your loss. May God’s promise bring you comfort. There will be “a new earth... and He will wipe out every tear from their eyes, and death will be no more, neither will mourning nor outcry nor pain be anymore... I am making all things new.” Revelation 21:1-5yRHER

From cruising the "Restless Ribbon" in his GTO, sneaking the plane out, motorcycle road trip to Galveston, drag racing, and sharing apartments, it was quite a ride. RIP, David...
