My wife Elena and I had the absolute pleasure of meeting David and his lovely partner Natalie last year through mutual friends' Cam and Katherine. As soon as we met David, we knew this guy was something special. Natalie and David, the summer of 2022, wanted to join us all for DC Pride in June and of course they came. After seeing how David was and interacted with the LGBTQ community, it made him much more of a one of a kind guy. He didn't care what you looked like, your gender, ethnicity, whatever. He was accepting of all and there will never be anyone like him. The last time we saw David was this past April 23' for Cam's b-day party. Elena, Natalie, David, and I were being our silly selves talking about Spongebob and quoting the show. That night was filled with smiles, laughter and memories made. I will always remember that night being with him and getting to know him more. Sending love, hugs, and condolences to both familes, friends, and loved ones. Rest easy David of Bikini Bottom, you're memory will live on.
