I worked with David for many years at the school district. I always enjoyed talking with him because he always imparted some new knowledge to me about any number of subjects, but especially all things energy related. I have missed our conversations over the last few years. I hope that your memories of happy times with him will help carry you through this time of grief. I am sorry for your loss
RIP Dave.

Worked with David for many years at USD 259. I’m just stunned by the news of his passing. Rest in peace friend❤️
My husband, Clint Ward worked for Kansas Gas for many years before his retirement. USD259 was one of his assigned accounts. He and David spent many hours discussing Natural Gas Energy and ways to save the district money. I also, had the privilege of working in the district and yes, you always new when David was in your bldg. I am so sorry to hear of your loss. Prayers to you all.
It was a privilege to have known David and called him a trusted friend.
