David was preceded in death by his parents and brothers Steve and Tom. Per his request, there will be no service. He requested that his ashes be scattered to the wind on the North Shore of Lake Superior where his heart remained throughout the years.
We thank everyone involved in his medical care during his journey with MDS. He fought a good fight, and will be dearly missed.
