According to his family:
“First and foremost, we are a large family that will never recover from the loss of a father, grandfather, and friend.” A member of a close family from whom we had only ever received help and good.
The loss of David is greater to us as a family than any sentence.” We will remember the good times, not what happened to him, and as a family, we will remember him every day.
“David was taken far too soon and in circumstances that no other family should have to endure.”
The events since December have been unbearable, but they have been made more bearable by the fantastic service provided by the police, emergency services, and liaison officers, to name a few.
“From the respect shown to us as a grieving family, we would like to express our heartfelt gratitude to everyone involved in this senseless situation.”
