Sue, I met you several years back through Sue (Hillsman) Woods. I was so sorry to hear of David's passng. You and your family will be in my prayers. God Bless!

David's family I am so sorry for your loss. He was a good son and brother. His presence will be greatly missed.

Dave was my neighbor for a long time. Great guy and always ready to lend a helping hand. My condolences to his loved ones.

Thoughts and prayers are with you at this time. Wishing the family much love and care. So sorry for your loss.

I don't have the words to express how sorry I am. Allison, TT and the rest of Dave's family, please know that there are so many of us who are brokenhearted for you and will miss Dave terribly. I enjoyed so many conversations across our decks and backyards, exchanging tomatoes & fish, just a lot of good memories. What a great guy. Like Rich said, he enjoyed life on his terms - that's for sure.

Please know that Dave's family members and friends are in my thoughts and prayers. My deceased husband loved going fishing with Dave and Dave was always so thoughtful and kind to help me with little things after I lost Jim. He was a very kind and thoughtful person and I, as well as others, will miss him.

My thoughts and prayers are with his family. Was my favorite waiter. RIP

I am so sorry to hear about David's passing. I used to work with David at Chilli Peppers and was impressed by his incredible work ethic and kindness. He was always 100% genuine and showed everyone in the restaurant the utmost respect. Dave will be missed dearly. I will keep your family in my thoughts.

Allison and Family, I am so sorry to hear this news and pray that God showers you with his love and grace. I have fond memories of David and of your whole family. Love, Kate

I was saddened to hear of Dave's passing. My condolences to Sue, Allison and with the family. He was a sweet guy and will be missed.

Dear Momma Sue, Allison, TT, Drew, Martha, Anna, and family we pray God's peace for you all.

So sorry to hear the news about David. My heart breaks for him and his family. Sending thoughts and prayers .

Iam saddened to hear of David’s passing. David and I were classmates in Bedford,Va. I was one of David’s first friends, when he moved to Bedford from New York. Prayers go out to the Copeland family. May God keep you doing this difficult time.

My sister Ann just told me the news. I knew David for most of my school days - he was 2 years younger but his sister Allison was a classmate of mine. He and I were on the LHS tennis team. Later he and I and Farrar Puckett would hang out at his house from time to time, drinking. beer and stuff. He was an awful nice guy. I am so sorry to hear that he died. Peace to all his friends and family.

Everything is just coming to light for us. We have loved this family for years and want to say our love is with you. Thanks for all your friendship through the years. Norma and Hugh Saunders
