i really dont know if anyone reads this anymore, but i have to admit i still read it once every couple of weeks, dave. sometimes just because im bored, sometimes because it makes me laugh, but most of all, because i miss you buddy. i feel like i should be moving on, but at least once a day, ill think of something that reminds of you. you would be having a blast this semester. graduation is coming and everybody is excited about moving on with their lives.i really dont what life has in store for us dave but id like to think that where ever i go and whatever i do, ill still think of you once a day and laugh or cry or just feel lucky to have known someone like you. thanks for listening bud, love always, huls

Dear Mark Jr. and Family,
There are some people and some families that are just plain "good" to the core. You feel good knowing them, if only for a short time and in an isolated situation - this is you, Mark, and it's Dave, and it's your family.
It was my sincere pleasure to have had both you and Dave as students at RV. I recall both of you as smart, polite, focused, and fun - a delicate and difficult balance that both of you seemed to master with ease. It's clear that Dave has touched the lives of many, many people. I am sure you are proud of him.
I am terribly sorry for your loss and know this must be an incredibly difficult time for you. I have a one-year old daughter now. When I put her to bed tonight, we said a prayer for you and your family. You will continue to be in our thoughts and prayers.
Thinking of you,
Kelley McGhee

Dear David,
Remember on your last day of fourth grade you gave me a blue teardrop suncatcher? As I remember, you took time out from a day at the beach to buy that gift for me.
Well, I still have your gift...the privilege it was to be your fourth grade teacher. Because all the beautiful qualities you posessed as a twenty year old, were the same beautiful qualities you gave to our class as a nine year old.
The teardrop suncatcher...it still glistens in my guestroom window.
Love,
Mrs. Judith Parentela

Dave,
I dont really know how to say goodbye to such an amazing friend. When I think of you now, I think of your contagious smile, your funny laugh, and your everlasting collection of polos. Whether it was hearing your voice yelling "Vaaaaal" to me across campus, waking up to you pounding on our door at 3am just to see "what's up", laughing at your "twinkle toes" and "dad hair", cracking up at how much you actually look like Hulk Hogan, watching you and Kel living up to your nickname of "Ross and Rachel" or listening to you and Tug "comment" on my grandma.. my memories of you are everlasting. I'll never forget the overnight formal where you and Kel searched for "cheesy poofs" or the bus ride home where you argued about the "shoe magnet". You were the best pillow I've ever had and you gave me the best birthday present I'll ever receive.
I don't really feel like saying goodbye is appropriate because I know you are not truly gone. Whenever I see one of your friends smiling I'll know you are there, and whenever the football team scores a touchdown I'll know you are there. You touched the lives of so many people in so many different ways. For me, you did something as simple as making me laugh when I needed it the most. I will forever remember the way you changed the aura of our apt from 4 grumpy girls to an atmosphere of laughter and smiles simply by asking for a "stapler". I will never be the same without you, and your memory will never fade because you are truly one of the most amazing people to ever touch my life. I luv you and miss you.
Love
Val

I will never forget all the memories I have with you, especially our talks that seemed to last forever, you coming to my apartment at all hours of the night, and everyone calling us "Ross and Rachel." Thank you for always making me laugh when i was upset and looking out for me over these last 3 years. You were so much more then just my best friend, you were like my other half. I love you so much and i will never forget the times we've had together.

There will never be anyone else quite like you, with your kindness, smile, and ability to allow people to relax and have fun. It's not going to be the same, but hopefully we can all learn by your example. I'll keep doing the end of practice dance for you. Watch over us.

I've been looking at pictures of senior trip and it was some of the most fun I've ever had. You're smiling or laughing or making funny faces in all of them. And reading what your friends from Villanova have written it's obvious you are a part of a lot of other people's favorite memories too. You're one of very few guys who can wear a pink polo shirt and make it look macho. I'm going to miss you and I'm grateful that that you were my friend.
To the Reids - You couldn't have done a better a job raising such a great guy. My thoughts and prayers are with you all.

Dave,
I sit here at my computer at 2:40am, still at a loss of words. The past few days have seemed more unreal than anything I have ever experienced. I don't think I'll ever fully accept that you're gone--because frankly, you're not. You're a part of me, you're a part of all of us, you're a part of every single person you ever touched in your life...and that will last forever. Our closeness might have faded a bit after Middle School, but the memories I keep haven't lost their value. Like the time we went over Ashley's and I broke my wrist while on her trampoline, but we didn't want to get in trouble so we said I fell off a bike.
I miss you already, Dave. These tears of mine can't possibly express just how much I will miss you. But I do know that I am so honored that I got to know you, and even more privileged knowing that I was a part of your life, I was your friend. I won't ever forget you, I'll see you again some day...until then, save a seat for your old childhood friend.
To the Reid family, you truly have my deepest sympathies. It's because of people like Dave that the phrase "one in a million" exists, because he is just that. I have never known someone with so much heart and so much charisma.. and I'll never understand why this happened. But after witnessing the vast amount of people that came to give their final goodbyes to him, it just shows how incredible of a person Dave was. If you ever need anything, don't hesitate to ask me, we're family.. and I would do anything for the family of one of the best friends of my life. My thoughts and prayers are with you.. and remember, he isn't gone if we don't forget, and I for one will never let that happen.
All my love and care,
Eric

I am in Paris right now studying abroad, but my heart is not. The past few days here have been so difficult. I am so upset that I cannot be at the services. My thoughts and prayers are with everyone. You are an amazing person that will never be forgotten. You could lighten anyone's mood by your wonderful smile and great sense of humor. During rough times during practice you always brought up everyones mood and always did your best to help everyone else out. I will never forget the practice where you had to take all 90 reps because the centers were hurt. It is people like you on the team that make villanova football great and our jobs fun. We will all miss you very much.
To Daves family, congratulations for raising such an amazing person. You have my deepest sympathies and prayers.

Dear Mr. and Mrs. Reid,
I didn't really know Dave all that well in High School. However, while managing the football team at RV I got to interact with him on a regular basis. One of the things that I always admired about him was his class. Most of the other guys on the team had to make a conscious effort when around me on the field not to be too crude or vulgar. However, Dave never seemed to have to worry about it because that wasn't how he acted or spoke in any situation that I saw him in.
Just so you know, I have a picture of him with Wes Nepp and myself at the Junior Prom in 2000. If you would like me to e-mail the picture to you please let me know.
God Bless, Kate

It?s hard for me to believe that someone I?ve gotten to know well over the past year or so is not with us anymore, this is a first for me. Dave, you were one of the nicest, most genuine people I have ever met. You never failed to make the people around you happy with your infectious smile or goofy humor. I was privileged to have spent enough time with you to know how much everyone, especially your roommates, always seemed in higher spirits when you were around. With just a smile or a joke, you had a way of making any situation seem comfortable and could make someone?s bad mood disappear. I am so grateful that I was able to be a part of your life and will cherish my memories of you forever. We miss you so much Dave, and I hope you are laying in heaven probably in your boxers watching out for all of us just like you always did, and certainly always will.
Love always,

It is hard to find words to express how heartbroken I am at hearing of your loss while I have been out here in Australia. Being so far way has made it so much harder to face this harsh reality. I wish I could be back in the States to celebrate your life and offer my prayers at your funeral. You were one of the most genuinely friendly, compassionate, considerate, sociable, and humorous person I have had the privilege to meet and be friends with, and you have touched so many people's lives. Having you as a classmate, friend and nieghbor always guaranteed a smile on my face, and your presence is going to be emmensely missed. Between being out with friends, watching football games, checking on test and project questions, and borrowing various stationary and cleaning supplies, you were always a joy to be around. I wish I could still just walk those few steps down the hall to say hi, but instead I will have to look into my heart to find you. My prayers and thoughts go out to you and your family, and I will be thinking about you always. Luv, Aimes

We first met Dave when he started dating our daughter Erin in high school. From day one we knew Erin had someone very special for a friend. He was one of the most upbeat, but down to earth, people you could ever want to meet. You just enjoyed having him around. My wife recalled how she happened to run into Dave at one of Erin's field hockey games. Dave was quite far away on the other side of the field with some of his college friends. When he saw my wife he hurried over to her, gave her a big bear hug, and proceeded to walk hand in hand with her back to his friends. He her introduced to each of his friends as if she was the most important person he ever met. That's simply the way he was. He always made people feel they were something special to him!
To David's family- We can only imagine the loss you must feel, but take solace in knowing that Dave was loved, admired, and repected by so many people. He was a scholar, an athlete, and most of all a gentleman. You have our deepest heartfelt sympathy.
David, we'll always miss you. You are a very special man!

Dave,
These past few days have been the toughest days of my life. I keep looking at my photographs and every time it gets harder and harder to accept the fact that you are no longer with us. Some of the best memories I have of you are the senior trip and the toy red rose that you gave me the first night there, Mr. RV and your "American Woman" costume, the senior prom and Wildwood, the random roadtrips to Villanova, and your random trainrides to F & M. And I thought leaving each other for college was tough! You were always the first person I would call if I was ever upset or needed advice, and everytime we hung up, you had always managed to make me feel ten times better. You always had an easy-going yet understanding personality. I will forever miss your contagious laughter and amazing hugs, our inside jokes little greenies!!, our back-to-back birthday celebrations, and your late night phone calls just to say good night. You made me feel like the luckiest girl in the world. I am absolutely grateful to have had the opportunity to become so close to such a wonderful person. You were more than just a boyfriend to me, you were my best friend.
To the Reid family: I would like to commend you for raising such a polite, respectful, and loving man. Thank you for being so welcoming and friendly. I will never forget all the fun times I shared with your family. Even though the pain will never fully cease, over time it will become easier to deal with because of the strength and love within your family and all of us around you. You will always be in my thoughts and my prayers.

Much like everyone on our team, it has been extremely hard for me to except the fact that when I walk in the locker room, and im tired and down that I wont see your face looking back at me with the same frown knowing that we both share the same feeling about practice. That right there is enough to but a smile on your face to know that you are on the same page with everyone of your brothers on the team. We will all miss you and we try to stay strong in these times and pull together but as everyday goes on it doesn't get easier. One thing is for sure your family has all of our support and we Love you and will never forget the impact that you and your smile have had on our lives.
We Love you "Box" REEM #73

You, your family, and all those touched by you have been in my prayers. I know you hated when I called you Howie, but I still think with the glasses and your hair the right way there was a resemblance. I am going to miss your smile and your joking demeanor brightening up my day. You were a great friend and I wish I would have told you that more. I?ll never forget when Dr. Busch spent the semester giving you the Ethics answers but neglected to give them to me, or when we went searching for Kel in the library and you knocked over all the fans on the silent floor. Aimee won?t know what to do with out you calling her Staples and sneaking the stationary supplies out of our apartment. Dave I wish everyone was capable of half the kindness and compassion you were. You represented all the ideals of a friend, an athlete, and a Villanovan. I hope that God blesses your family with the strength to continue. Thank you for being a big part of my life at Villanova, for taking the extra time to get to know me, and for displaying your fun loving and caring spirit to us all. Love- Denise De-NICE

I have been trying to stay busy these past few days, because any free moment is filled with thoughts of you and your family. Reading what others have said, especially your Villanova friends, has been tough but comforting, too. It's clear that nothing changed: you were still the greatest guy, inspiring others with your warmth and sincerity and being a "big galoot" as your dad said in the Inquirer.
I have been struggling to write about all of this as is my way, but words keep falling short.
Just know that I will always be proud to say I was your teacher and coach.
To Mark, Barbara, Sean, Mark, and family: my heart goes out to you at this time. I have always been impressed by your strength and love as a family. I know this is the hardest test of your faith, but I believe David will help.

Where do I begin? I remember when you stayed with me and Chila on your recruiting trip, I knew then that Villanova had found not only a great football player but an even better person. Through the years that you graced our presence, you found a way to make even the worse situations seem meaningless because you helped us see the bigger picture, which was life and most of all happiness. I?m sorry and it hurts that I will not be able to attend the viewing or the funeral because I have training camp with the Arizona Cardinals, but my prayers and condolences go out to the Reid family and his Villanova family. I was recently at Villanova before I had to be in Arizona and I went out with Reid and I will never forget his last words to me which were, ?Buddy, I love you and We?ll be cheering for you!?

Thanks for being there for me for so many times, you got me through some rough spots here and were my best buddy. Watch over us kids down here, because you're stickin in our hearts forever. When I meet you up there, I'll bring the frozen capri suns citrus cooler flavor just for you and the football to play catch all day, promise. Until then, know how much you are loved, missed, and forever in the hearts of all who continue to love you.
Love you forever,

My favorite thing about you Dave is that you were never "too cool" for anyone. I always felt comfortable around you because you were always so warm and friendly to me and everyone else. I'll miss getting big man hugs, and no one will ever smell as good as you. You are loved and missed my so many.

I met Dave when he was in 8th grade and I was a freshman in high school. I had the pleasure of getting to know him better over the next three years that I was a student at RV. Dave was a wonderful person that always had a smile on his face and a kind word for everyone that he met. After I went away to college Dave and I managed to stay in touch and it was always a fun time when we would get together and catch up. Dave will be sorely missed and never forgotten as his legacy of kindness lives on in the hearts of all the people whose lives he touched.

Mark and Family,
Despite the fact that I have moved away from Lumberton upon graduation, I have always carried the fondest memories of knowing your family. I have always thought of Dave as Mark's "little brother" who had the brightest smile and sense of humor. There were many instances that he used this humor to cheer me up at the football games. I will also remember Dave teasing me as the student athletic trainer who had to travel with the "stinky" football players. His memory will live on forever. My heart goes out to you at this time.

It took me almost two days to work up the courage to write in your guestbook. I just won't let myself believe that you are really gone. Dave, I just miss you already, and I know Im gonna miss your more and more everyday of my life. To think we won't get to share one more late night talk, or one more late night food run. I thought of you as more than my friend, but as my brother. Over the last three years living together, you never ceased to put a smile on my face, even now pictures of you make me laugh. You were the best friend a kid could ever ask for, since day 1 or freshman football camp, I never left your side, and I cherish every moment we shared together. I just cant believe you are really gone, I just miss you so much Dave, to think you wont be sleeping in my room anymore, brings tears to my eyes. You were, the most loyal, giving and honest person I ever met. Anyone who ever met you, has ever failed to speak about what a great person you are. I know that no matter what I do, or where I go you, you may not be there in the flesh, but you will always be with me. Its just hard to put into words the emotions I have towards you Dave. I would give up everything I have to get you back for just one day. I will never forget you, and no one could ever be a better friend to me, a kid who needed one. I love you Dave, and I will never forget you.

Dave will be missed greatly but never forgotten! I got a chance to meet Dave when I was his host for recruiting. From day one I knew this kid was special. For the past three years that I have known him, he has been able to bring a smile to my face no matter how bad a mood I was in. He was a great player and an even better person. I don't know how something so bad could happen to someone so good. My thoughts and prayers are with his family right now.
I miss you and love you Dave!

God Bless #73!

All those that knew Dave are suffering a great loss, also suffering is the rest of the world who never had an opportunity to meet and know him. He was a kid who always had a smile on his face and the ability to do just that to others. He was a great football player and above all a great guy.

I would just like to send my condolences to the Reid family and let you all know that each and everyone of you are in my prayers. I have known Dave for three years and I have honestly enjoyed his friendship and presence. I know this is a very tough time for you all, but I hope you all will continue to be strong and continue to enjoy life as he did. Our football team will definitely miss his presence, but we know he is looking down on us. If there is anything I can or the team can do for anyone please let us know. God Bless!

Dave was one of the nicest people I have ever known. He was so full of happiness, that he lighted up the room when he walked in. I will never forget the little moments I shared with him. Laying face to face in the hallway of the dorm talking about everything. He will be missed by so many, and the wonderful memories will live on in my heart forever. My thoughts and prayers are with Dave's Family. Love Always Hutch

I had the pleasure of knowing you for a year, what a great year it was. Dave, you had a contagious energy about you, you were the light of the room. One year was not enough bud, but for that year I am grateful. You will live on forever in the hearts and souls of those who had the privilege of knowing you. May your rest well in the arms of the lord.
We miss you bud,

Dave,
You were one of the greatest guys I have ever met, the only guy who could put a smile on anyone's face, no matter the circumstances. O Line meetings won't be the same without you, you turned something that is usually boring into something that I just didn't mind. I still owe you from my freshman year when I'd fall asleep, and you'd wake me up. Always looking out for everyone else. Things won't be the same without you, but I will always have a peice of you with me. May God take you and bless you.
