Always credited Dave and Don Bohlman with leading me to salvation in Jesus in my own living room, They we part of a Kennedy Evangelist team out of Our Savior Lutheran Church in Fenton visiting delinquent members. PTL
It was such an honor to meet Brother Dave and his amazing family. I was touched by Dave’s faith and strength that clearly came from his Lord and kept Dave being a blessing to all of us even when things were difficult. Loved meeting his wife, his multi-generational family and his AMEN group. Everybody who loves Dave is dearly in my prayers. – Sam San the hand-flute man.
Angela, Aaron, Addison, and Archer, you are all in my thoughts during this difficult time. My sincerest sympathies to your family. May the wonderful memories you shared help sustain you in the days ahead.
He was a wonderful Godly man. I will miss him behind us in church every Sunday! Rhonda – your family is in my prayers.
I met Dave when I worked for him at the sub shop he owned at the time. He was easy going to work with. He never knew a stranger. I was blessed to have known him. Prayers of comfort for the family. He is no longer suffering and now watching over his family.
