Let the family know you care by sharing this tribute.
Dave was the most simplest man you could ever meet, he cared for my grandmother immensely and acted almost as a second grandfather to me. From watching tv with him and laughing at his jokes, he was such an amazing man. I will love and miss him with all my heart. ❤️
Dave,
I will miss you every day. I am so thankful for the time we had together and the bonus grandfather I was lucky enough to have. You and Nana really showed me what true love is and how to take care of one another. You always kept things simple and to the point, while cracking us all up! I can still hear you doing all the imitation voices. It was an honor to have been by your side while you fought a fight that no one should ever have to. Just like we said before- We will see each other on the other side ❤️ I love you!

Dave,
I don’t know how to say thank you to you for all you’ve done for our family. I don’t want to say goodbye. You and nana against the world forever 💕. I am so thankful for every moment we shared. You never stopped trying to put a smile on all of our faces and you loved and cared for my Gradmother better than any of us could have ever asked for. You were one of the best of the best 💚 and you will be gravely missed. See you on the other side 💚
Uncle Davey is one of the funniest, sharpest guys ever. Whenever our Dad said we’d see Uncle Davey, well that meant it was gonna be a fun time. Especially when you would mind Tammy and I in Hull. You’d tell us tomorrow in school is needle day or that you hear something weird upstairs to scare us. We loved it. You treated all of us nieces and nephews like your kids. You were happy with whatever life threw at you and never expect more, even though you deserved so much more. A kind and gentle soul with that “O’Brien” humor we all loved. RIP Uncle Davey. – Jim, Catherine, Paris & Chase O’Brien
