Journal entry by Jason Peel —
As many of you have probably heard, David's battle with cancer ended December 24th. He passed peacefully at home surrounded by loving family. The cancer may have won the battle, but the real winner on December 24th was Heaven. Heaven got a new amazing angel who no doubt made the celebration of Jesus's birth an even better party. It was impossible to NOT have fun with David at a party.
David touched the lives of everyone he met. He truly put others ahead of himself and that selflessness is why he is loved so deeply and by so many. He taught me how to be a man, a husband, a father, a brother and a friend. I will miss him every day until I see him again. But I can rejoice knowing he is no longer confined to the body that cancer destroyed and that he is pain free.
Thank you all for your faithful support for David and for our family over the past 12 months. It has meant more to us than I can adequately express. Please join us for a Celebration of Life service for David at 2 pm Saturday, December 28th in the sanctuary at Frazer UMC (6000 Atlanta Highway, Montgomery, AL 36117). The family will receive visitors in the parlor at Frazer from 12 pm to 2 pm, prior to the service. In lieu of flowers, the family requests charitable contributions to The Family Guidance Center of Alabama (2358 Fairlane Drive, Montgomery, AL 36116), or to a charity of your choice.
