Dearest Leigh, Lexi, Landon & David Jr.
Our hearts go out to all of you. We were fortunate enough to meet your amazing family on safari in South Africa & David's adventurous spirit and thirst for travel subsequently brought you to visit us this year in the UAE. We are so very thankful for the extra time we got to spend with all of you and that we were fortunate enough to see Dave again before this tragedy. His mischevious eyes live on in Landon, his tenacity in Lexi, his constant energy in David Jr. and most of all his beautiful, loving nature in Leigh. He will be sorely missed by all who knew him. Our deepest condolences.
Love and big hugs from Keith, Kim, Magnus & Maddox Jeffery and Kelly, Jen, Owen & Declan Ryan

David was a close friend of my youngest brother (Paul) during their high school years in Londonderry NH. I always thought so highly of him...such a sweet and thoughtful guy. It is very apparent that he went on to have a positive impact on everyone in his life. He will truly be missed. My thoughts and prayers go out to his family during this very sad time.

OUR HEARTS GO OUT TO THE FAMILY FOR THE LOSS OF DAVID. HAVE KNOWN DAVID ONLY A FEW YEARS, WE WERE DISGUSTED WITH EQUITABLE/AXA AND ABOUT CANCELLING EVERYTHING. EVERYONE WE DEALT WITH WAS ALWAYS GONE. DAVID ASKED US TO LET US GIVE HIM A CHANCE AND CHECK THINGS OUT. SINCE THEN IT WAS A GREAT EXPERIENCE TO HAVE SOMEONE THINKING MORE OF US THEN THEMSELVES. A LIFE GONE TOO SOON AS WELL AS A FRIENDSHIP RELATIONSHIP WITH AN ADVISOR.
GOD BLESS HIM AND HIS FAMILY.
GOD BLESS HIM AND HIS FAMILY.

My thoughts and prayers are with David's family, friends, and fellow racers during this very difficult time. While I didn't know David personally, my nephews and I cheered for him and his fellow competitors at the Point/Manasquan OPA races and parades over the past three years.
