In 2013, David moved into his own home with his dear friend and companion Lee Blake. He worked at the CES Recycling Center in Riverton and Lander. The last few years he has worked at CES's shredding facility where he got to mess with paper all day. His fellow co-workers enjoyed his antics and said he was a good worker. David loved going to work.
David loved music, singing and dancing. David attended Lander Tiger sporting events and loved to sing and dance with the band. David did not know a stranger, he was friends with everyone. David was a loving, affectionate person and very sensitive to others feelings. David loved all animals; he would spend hours holding the kittens at the recycling center. He was loved by all who knew him and will be greatly missed by all that knew him especially his friends at CES.
