I am stunned beyond belief! My brother David is the youngest of the eight in our family. A tragedy that the last one born is the first to die. I only pray that he is at peace and is with our mother in heaven and watching over the rest of the Cheatles. I love you David. You will be missed by all and thought about often.

Brother Bill, number three of the eight.

David worked in the same center as me. What a terrible tragedy. My sincere condolences to his family and friends. I know he will be missed.
