So many happy memories flood my mind about my brother Dave.We played in the creek,caught lightning bugs, and played with his BB gun.Many times I was the victim of that darn gun!! I remember one time he saved me when I stepped on a huge snake and was too frightened to move,so he pushed me off and away to safety.He protected me and loved me always.A piece of my heart went with him but I know he is happy in heaven with Mom,Dad and Dick.Love you dear brother!
Dave was a very wise man. His family meant the world to him. The family is in our thoughts and prayers.
I want to send my condolences to the Ahern family during this difficult time. The Ahern family is in our thoughts and prayers.
Dave was Best Man in our wedding over 42 years ago! R.I.P. Davey Lee. Love, Terry & Becky
