Dear Deb and Family,
Kevin and I are so sorry to hear of Dave's passing. We have tried to contact you at your 0068 phone number. We want you to know how much we loved Dave and he will always be in our hearts. I remember in Lancaster, Calif. karaoke singing With A little help from My Friends Beatles 1967. Kevin and I have been singing it all day. Crying and laughing and still hearing his laugh.
Please let us know if we can do any thing. We are praying for you and your family.
Kevin loves you and has lots of great stories. I love you and know that Dave will live forever in our hearts.
Wish we would of made the Baseball game happen.
Our thoughts, love and prayer are with you.
Kevin and Shuree Hood
First and foremost to Debbie, Miguel, Jesse and Emilia. I am so sorry for your loss and I am so deeply saddened after reading on FB about my lifelong friend and brother from another mother Dave. I have so many fond memories of Dave when we were stationed in Spain together. The most memorable was the first time we met, we were both on 30-day temporary duty in Adana Turkey and a mutual friend introduced us and he introduced himself as David Flores (but in his Spanish accent), and I introduced myself as Jesse Flores (without the Spanish accent) and with that, I asked him, dude, do you prefer I call you David in Spanish or just Dave. He was so relieved that he could have a normal conversation in English with another Hispanic who's Spanish was just as bad if not worse than his. I guess from that day on (maybe 2 years) we were pretty much inseparable until he left back to the states for discharge. Dave was supposed to be my best man at our wedding, but he got tapped to go to Turkey during that time, wouldn't you know it, he came back the day before my wedding, but arrangements had already been made for a backup best man, so Dave was/is unofficially my Best Man.
To Gilbert, Cecilia and Marcus, my condolences, my friend Dave was one hell of a guy. I will miss him very much.

David was a great friend growing up. His family took me in and treated me like one of them when my home life was not so good. I remember hot tortillas with butter after school and many sleep overs. Playing hoops in Dave’s driveway. Dave’s mom made us take Gil everywhere with us but he was one of the gang too but took a lot more grief from us than he should have but I only remember good times. Dave’s dad coached us in little league and we won the pennant one year of pony league, the Broncos. Gil sr. was the first person to call me Paco some 60 years ago and I still go by that now. After high school we went our separate ways but there will always be a connection. Can’t wait to see him again maybe for a game of kick the can or go skateboarding. I miss you David I miss the old days. I was blessed by your presence and blessed with my memories. Rest In Peace my dear old friend and brother, you are in a much better place. You will be missed!
Ho oponopono,
Aloha, pura vida
