Another year goes by but the memories of the good times we shared with goes on ….miss you buddy

Not a day goes by I don't think of you. 8 years ago you left us yet it feels like yesterday. You will always be my one true love ❣️

Hey Sorry I haven't visited in a while. Things are hectic. Finally got enrolled for my BA in CJ. Uncle Jerry was diagnosed with Stage 4 cancer in his stomach. Been helping take him for his radiation treatments and now he starts his kemo treatments. They said his cancer is "treatable" but not curable. Hopefully, he will be with us for a long while. I have been trying to get back into gaming with the Clan, but its been hard. Every time I log into Steam, I see your name on my friends list and it hits me all over again that your not coming on. I still really miss you, dear friend.

Tomorrow is 40 days since you left. I'm officially suppose to stop wearing black now, and Alex will shave his beard, but we will always be in mourning for you, will always miss you, and will forever carry you in our hearts.

Yesterday we officially said goodbye and celebrated your life. I suppose this ritual should bring closure and a state of moving forward but for me there is no tomorrow without you. Sunny days are full of gloom and each sunrise brings more darkness. I love you and miss you with all my soul.

Sometimes in life you will find a special friend that you can count on. Someone who changed your life simply by being a part of it. Someone who makes you feel good, smile at will and laugh uncontrollably. Someone who will show you there are still some good people in the world. Someone who will stand by you at times when you feel you are all alone. Someone who will make your life better, just by being a part of theirs. That is Dave to a "t". Happy Valentines Day, Dave

I miss you more each day

When I come to the end of the road And the sun has set for me I want no rites in a gloom filled room Why cry for a soul set free? Miss me a little, but not for long And not with your head bowed low Remember the love that once we shared Miss me, but let me go. For this is a journey we all must take And each must go alone. It’s all part of the master plan A step on the road to home. When you are lonely and sick at heart Go the friends we know. Laugh at all the things we used to do Miss me, but let me go. When I am dead my dearest Sing no sad songs for me Plant thou no roses at my head Nor shady cypress tree Be the green grass above me With showers and dewdrops wet And if thou wilt remember And if thou wilt, forget. I shall not see the shadows, I shall not fear the rain; I shall not hear the nightingale Sing on as if in pain; And dreaming through the twilight That doth not rise nor set, Haply I may remember, And haply may forget

Every day is an eternity without you David

Dave, I sit and write this with a heavy, sorrowful and broken heart. Today, is the day we all have dreaded. The day we must come to terms with facing that you’re gone. It’s hard to believe, it has been 10 years since we first met playing America’s Army with the ATF Clan. That day, who would have thought how strong our friendship would grow? It grew into a bond that brought us together as a family. As brothers. It is a bond I will always cherish and hold close in my heart for the rest of my days. I will forever miss your sound advice. The long talks we always seem to have on Teamspeak and the cell phone. How you always seemed to make see the brighter side of things when it all seemed so dark. How you helped me, as my other family members did, to always do my best, be my best and be a better person. The way you always forgot to hit that button to turn the “squirrel voice” off and had me laughing so hard my stomach would hurt for days. How you would pull a weird joke out of thin air that made absolutely no sense, but just hearing you laugh would make me laugh. So many times you brought laughter, hope and peace to my life I cannot even count. Every year we would talk about our loved ones who had passed and how much we missed them on Thanksgiving and Christmas and at the same time comforted each other in honoring their memories. For me to write down everything you did for me and the sunshine you brought into my life would take volumes instead of pages. And I know my life will be less bright without you in it. I miss you more than anyone could imagine. I take small comfort in knowing you’re with God and with my Grandpa Boone now. Please tell him hello and give him a hug for me. I still miss him terribly. I will always remember you, my best friend. Not a day will go by that I will not think of you and whisper hello. And if you feel you have the time, after you look in on Virginia, drop by and say hello. And if you would, in between playing Bad Company 2 with everyone up there, watch over us all, especially Virginia. I know I will never miss you near as much as she does. So she will need some extra attention and rightly so. I know how much you loved her and how much she still loves you. I would like to think a love that strong between two people never stops no matter what. I promise you, Dave, I will be there for her and will support her. As we all will. Don't worry, brother, she is not alone. She is family too, so she is stuck with us. My only regret is never getting to meet you face to face. Either of you. We had planned it, if things went right sometime next year. Guess me and you will have to wait till another time. Thank you for everything. I will miss you, my best friend. God bless you and keep you. Catcha later. Kevin

Thank you for setting up this memorial to David Gonzalez. We hope that you find it a positive experience developing the site and that it becomes a place of comfort and inspiration for you to visit whenever you want or need to.

I am I and you are you, whatever we were to each other that we still are. Speak to me in the easy way which you always used. Why should I be out of mind because I am out of sight? Life means all that it ever meant, it is the same as it ever was.
