I do not remember this picture but the moment I saw it, wow. He looks very much like my brother and then that leads to very much like my brother as he died. I would hope this picture breaks people up, it should. Boy is this hard to see. RIP David. I am so happy you had your family with you with their love surrounding you. You were/are important.
