In those times , and at all times, you need to depend on God to get you through them.

    There is nothing I can say to bring him back if only I could . Bonnie, Duane and Renee , Chase and Brant, we are so very sorry for the loss of David. It’s like one of my own leaving. We have known these boys since baseball way back when and it just makes my heart ache because of his death. You raised a wonderful and polite child and turned into a great adult. But we will have the memories and pictures of him and Steve II and the rest of the boys to look at the rest of our lives. He will always come up in a conversation and pictures will be looked at for many years.

  36. Curphy Smith October 27, 2009 at 3:09 pm

    Renee,
    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.

  37. Shawn & Stephanie (Myers) Thomas & Family October 27, 2009 at 3:51 pm

    To Renee and all your family and David’s family:
    Words cannot express how very sorry we are or know what all of you are going through. David was a great friend. Always full of laughter. We thank our Father for the gift of memory, which allows us to hold close the ones we love, even after they are with you. You are in our thoughts & prayers. May the Lord wrap his arms around you & give you the strength during this time.

  38. Jason Van Meter October 27, 2009 at 4:23 pm

    I am so sorry for your tragic and sudden loss. Although it has been years since Clinton Prairie, memories of Dave flood my mind. Please know that all of you are in my thoughts and prayers.

  39. Brian K Timmons October 27, 2009 at 5:49 pm

    Although I have not stayed in touch with David over the years, I still tell the story to my friends and family about are senior year sectional experience, I could tell then that David was a good leader and was going to do good things with his life. Back then I didn’t have much confidence in myself, but David was always good to me and encouraged me, for that I am forever thankful. God Bless you, Renee and your family.

  40. Jill (Logan) Lehe and Family October 27, 2009 at 6:33 pm

  41. Beth Meece October 27, 2009 at 6:47 pm

    I 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.

  42. Sarah Robey October 27, 2009 at 7:20 pm

    Renee and the Joseph Family:
    I have no words to truly express my sympathy and sadness over your loss of David. David was a great guy and I will always remember the friendly smile he had on his face every time I saw him. You have all been in my many thoughts and prayers. Continued prayers for strength and peace during this difficult time.

  43. Bob and Kim Ray October 27, 2009 at 7:39 pm

  44. Marilea Cearlock October 27, 2009 at 9:09 pm

    Dear 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.

  45. Jim Oesterling October 27, 2009 at 10:37 pm

    Renee,
    So sorry to hear about David. We will keep you and your family in our thoughts and prayers. I’ll always treasure the fond memories of our days playing baseball growing up. He was always a great friend and looking out for us younger guys. He will be missed but we will all keep the memories.
    Best Regards,
    Jim

I know that through this tough time, God will have his arm around you and help you get through this. He needed a special soul and David was his choice. My thoughts and prayers are with you.

  59. Denise Bollock October 28, 2009 at 4:53 pm

    I worked with Dave at Regions Bank, however I worked in the Lafayette main office. Dave was always positive and always so passionate about Clinton County and especially Clinton Prairie football. He will be missed by many.
    Thinking of you and the boys and all your family during this difficult time.

  60. Jeff Davis October 28, 2009 at 6:21 pm

    I worked with Dave at The Farmers Bank years ago. When he left for Farm Bureau I followed
    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
    are with the entire Joseph family.

  61. Patti Kidwell October 28, 2009 at 7:38 pm

    My prayers and thoughts go out to all of David’s family. I worked with Dave on several real estate closings. He had a wonderful personality. God Bless you all.

  62. Beth & Mike Hutson October 29, 2009 at 10:14 am

    Our prayers and thoughts are with you and your family, Renee. I know that you are surrounded with the loving support of your closest family and friends, but please know that there are many others who are sending love and support from afar! When we lost Mike’s dad this past summer, we were overwhelmed by the support from so many – – my hope is that you feel that same overwhelming support through this difficult time and in the days to come!

  63. Kathy & John McGraw October 29, 2009 at 12:41 pm

    All 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!
    Kathy & John McGraw

  64. Chuck Martin October 29, 2009 at 1:22 pm

    Bonnie, Duane and family,
    Was so sad to hear of your loss…..he had your great smile Duane! Never had the pleasure of meeting him, but from the other stories I read he sounds like a great guy and you both being his parents how could he not be! Stacy, I send my love and prayers to you and Mark and of course to the boys and his wife. GOD needed him to do his work so he is in great hands but know he will be deeply missed by everyone. Know that GOD is ALWAYS there when you need him and will take good care of David.
    My sincere prayers and love to you all,
    Lynn Bowen Hale

  66. Kim Pletch October 29, 2009 at 7:49 pm

    I 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.

  67. Tammy (Rose) Kniess October 30, 2009 at 1:19 pm

    I was so very saddened by the news of David’s passing. Though many years have gone by since we last met, I can vividly remember the warm smile he shared with everyone who had the good fortune of meeting him. Draw on your faith duing this time and know that there are many who are keeping you close at heart. My prayers are with you and your families. God bless.

  68. Mark and Brenda (Myers) Butler October 31, 2009 at 4:57 am

    We can not begin to imagine what you are going through. We can only offer our deepest sympathy to you and the boys. Remember that God is always with you. Cherish those sweet memories you have of Dave. We pray that you find strength in God’s word to face the tough road ahead. Know that your families will be in our thoughts and prayers.

    I live in Kingsport, TN. I had talked with David on several occasions in reference to some business he was handling for our company with Regions. I must say he was the most personable individual I have ever talked to. My sympathy to the entire family. God will bring you the comfort you need in the days to come.
