We wish we could be there to celebrate David’s life on Saturday but are in Indiana. Even though we’ve only known him a few short years, he and Beverly touched our lives in many ways and we will deeply miss him until we go to glory and see him again. Our deepest sympathies and love to the family.

I worked with David when he signed up for FMG Suite to help with marketing his business. I saw he was incredibly passionate about his faith and that immediately formed a connection between us, as I am too. Each call we had he would pray for me and my husband and bring so much light and joy into my day. I will miss those talks dearly, and I feel so much for Beverly and the rest of his family and will be praying for their healing. He is in a better place, but it doesn't make the loss here on earth any easier. You will see him again. ❤

I miss him already. David was a good friend both in life and in the Lord. We mentored each other, razzed each other, and just enjoyed life as good friends. I know that now David is truly walking with the King! I know that one day we shall be enjoying eternal life in Glory together.

So thankful that the Lord brought the Nielsens into my life. David has been a huge blessing to me in many ways. He was quite an extraordinary man. I am very grateful for the wisdom and comfort he shared with me in my time of need. It was my joy and privilege to know him on this side of heaven. My heart and prayers go out to Beverly, Keith, and all the family.
