YOUR TRIBUTES:

"Our Dave"

I feel so proud to say Dave was my brother, and also my mate!

I will always smile when I remember the great times we had and shed a tear when I realise all the great adventures we should have shared.

I will never forget you and will miss you more than words can say.

You will be forever in my thoughts and therefore always in my life xx

Will treasure all the fantastic times spent with "DC", the original "Dude keeping it real" !

He was great man who had time for everyone and Dave will be sorely missed by all who had their time with him. Our thoughts and deepest sympathies are with Rachel, Jack and family at this sad and tragic time.

DC. Couldn't believe the sad news.

What a top lad. Not been in touch for a while but I had the pleasure of holidaying in Tenerife with him and a few others. I remember him injuring a leg when messing about on a trampoline, but it didn't stop him and a few others who will remain nameless, wearing some shocking womens clothes for a night out!
RIP DC you will be sadly missed.

From the laughs in the school yard to the many holidays we shared abroad, 23 years of friendship that will never be forgotten.

We have known David for most of his life. He was a real gentleman first and foremost, a true sportsman and athlete and latterly, a dad who was just getting to know his new son Jack.
Carol and I send our deepest sympathies to Rachel and all the family at this sad and tragic time. We will all miss him.
