David was so very much to me. He touched my work life, my personal life, my family and friends. He was my rock when needed and mostly he was my smile when mine didn't seem to work. I love him very much. He is my Friend!!

It doesn't seem like 41 years since I first laid eyes on David.
He and Clint were instant friends and he will be missed by all of our family. My prayers and thoughts are with the Boyce family.

My condolences to the Boyce family. Dave was always a good person to be around growing up and though a big kidder at times always knew when to be serious and help out someone in need. See you on the other side Dave, tell my brother I said hello please.

I can hardly remember my life without David. We have shared so many wonderful times together. We grew up together and were growing old together! I am sad that he is no longer with us but what a reunion it will be when we meet again! He is flying high with the angels. My deepest condolences to all of the Boyce family. Each of you meant so much to David. He always told me so.

Condolences to Dave’s Family – He often talked of his sisters and nieces. My fondest memory of Dave, of course, was paired with laughter, at work when he’d fall asleep, I’d put my shoe under his nodding head. When he woke up, he’d throw my shoe back at me. I loved his poetry and our deep conversations of what heaven would be like, of which, I’m selfishly sorry he’s witnessing at such a young age. I’ll miss you buddy.
