You do not know me as I work in Peoria, IL. I met your husband one time and he and I have worked together over the phone many times. I can tell you from the short time I have known him and just by conversations we have had that he was an amazing and fun guy. I thought very highly of him, and I was stunned to hear the news. My thoughts and prayers go out to you and your boys. I know what it is like to lose someone at such a young age so my prayers go out to his parents as well. God bless you all and I am praying for you during this time of loss. I know it is hard but you will find strength in others and your faith to help you through.

Facebook Twitter GoogleI met David while I was helping the Commercial Loan department at Regions, during a busy time. From day one, he was kind and helped me get acquainted with the flow of the business. I felt from the beginning that I could ask him anything and he would always be very willing to help. David and I would talk about his sons’ baseball and my daughter’s softball. He always had a smile and was willing to lend a hand. He will be missed tremendously.

Facebook Twitter GoogleDear Joseph family,
What a great guy David was! He was a joy to work with and a pleasure to wait on when he walked through the doors of Farm Bureau Insurance. We always exchanged stories about our boys and what they were up to. He was so proud of his family. He was the only person I would deal with when we bought a vehicle from Defords. I knew I could trust him to treat us right. And he did. My heart aches for his family and the whole community as we mourn his loss. My thoughts and prayers are with you all.

him as a customer. When he went to Deford we established a great relationship between
lender and finance manager. He was helpful and just fun to talk to. Although I had not
spoken to him in some time, this sad news was a terrible shock. My thoughts and prayers

Facebook Twitter GoogleAll of the McGraw siblings along with John and myself are in such shock and sorrow. We are very sad and tears flow. Everybody liked David and we just smile everytime we think about his hanging around our family at our home on Mulberry Jefferson or the really nice visits I would have with him about the new house he was building for Renee and the boys. David captivated the entire Clinton/CP community. Thank you, David. Our prayers are with you, Renee, Duane & Bonnie, Dana & Pat and Stacy and Kyle and families. We will miss him so much!

Facebook Twitter GoogleI had a lot of fun with David when we were in high school and college, but as we became “grownups” I ran into him less often. But when I did see him, he was always in a great mood. He’d talk about the boys and 4-wheeling or sports or whatever they were up to at the time. What a proud dad he was! David was one of those people that you really enjoyed seeing and catching up with. To the family and especially Renee and the boys…my thoughts and prayers are with you during this sad time.
