His family was the center of his world, and enjoyed every family social and outing including the company of his parents, brothers and sister, sisters-in-law, Aunts, Uncles, nieces and nephews, cousins and their spouses and children. David was a lifetime student of St. Michael's Special School, and worked in the Joy Center from which he retired in 2014 and the life that he loved. He cherished his classmates and his work, and deeply loved his mentor Sister M. Lillian McCormack and all of his dedicated teachers. Throughout his adult life, he served as an altar boy in the parish of Our Lady of Perpetual Help Church. David was a gift to all who knew him, and was treasured as a beloved member of his community. His talent in this life was loving all who came into his path, including family, acquaintances and strangers.

He had a sweet nature and gentle manner, was kind and caring of others, and loved animals, especially Gabriel, Leontine, and Sweetheart. He never uttered a discouraging word but found himself vexed and expressed anger only in understandable situations, when LSU or the Saints lost a game.
