He was a volunteer for the ministry Hidden Miracles – Respite Night. This is a program that enables parents of special needs children to have a night out.

Bless the family
I’m so sorry for your loss. The first time I met David was playing tennis with his fater Ed. He had a great time shagging tennis balls for us. I know his family will miss him greatly.
So very sorry for your loss. My recollection of David was just as he was graduating from high school and heading for A&M. My thoughts and prayers are with you.

Dear Ed and family I’m so sorry for your sudden loss. I will keep you all in my prays and we all know David is now in a better place with our Lord.
Our deepest condolences.
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.
David you will be missed. Memories of our 1st soccer team coached by your father. Deepest condolences from the Last Family.
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.
Our deepest condolences to the Boyce family and are harts are with them.
I got to visit with David at country day last Oct. and it was great to see him as it had been awile.
David is in a better place and I hope he say’s hello to MeMe.
He will be missed
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.
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.
So sorry for your loss.
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!!
David , it seems like yesterday that we talked and laughed but now a fresh reality which brings all the pain back to me. I loved you and Hermann so much, may you find peace in heaven together. Wait for me,
Love, mom
