After fighting ALS for several months, on Sunday morning Diver Dave was called home to Jesus' loving arms.
According to his family, he is having a great reunion with his parents, his oldest sister, his parents-in-law and many others including many FReepers.

As we recall what a Patriot Diver Dave was, it seems appropriate that he joined FreeRepublic July 4, 1998.
Dave loved this country and our troops. Many times, he drove 2 hours each way to join the Fresno Freepers in support of our troops.

Dave had a very strong faith that was an inspiration to many of us. He faced his ALS and his other health issues knowing that he was in God's Hands
and he was ready for whatever His decision would be. His faith and positive attitude was always inspiring.

His last post was at Amy's Place on January 19, 2015.

You will be missed, DD. RIP

Prayers up.

[Kitty Mittens]

We will See you Again, on a Bright, Cloudless Day,
The Trials of Life are All Passed Away.
Throughout our Lives, what a Love Christ has Shown,
Now, our Savior Draws Near, and Welcomes us Home.

God's Family will Look Forward to Seeing you Again, our Brother in Jesus.

A prayer for a great man and a great American. May Diver Dave be wrapped in eternal perfection and happiness, and be rejoined with those loved ones who passed before.

[HKMk23]

Always hard to see a good man breathe his last.

Until Revelation 19, sir, we who are alive and remain shall keep the watch.

Until He Comes.

[Thanks for the heads up, Darks.]
