I have been hysterical since yesterday after I just found out that Dave passed. I had texted him on November 14 planning on seeing him that very weekend during the Thanksgiving holiday and I can’t believe that only two days later after I texted him that he is gone so young. I am in utter shock disbelief to the point where My mind is scrambling for scenarios in which he could still be alive… i can barely accept this. I have to accept it but I find myself unable to. Words and tears cannot express how heartbroken I am because Dave was one of the most salt of the earth, real, REAL men then I’ve ever met in my life. The type of man who would not only give the shirt off of his back for you, but would then carry you. He was beyond remarkable, extremely intelligent charming intriguing and extremely handsome and had a smile that would melt me. I loved Dave with all my heart. He always kept me smiling and laughing, constantly. I could relate to him so much. He was so chill yet full of adventure. He was the opposite of boring. he was a soldier for the people he loved and he told me how much he loved his family. I’ve known Dave since 2011. The minute we met we just hit it off from there. He meant the world to me and he still does and I can still barely accept that he is gone… I really really honestly can’t believe it. I don’t want to believe it. He always made me feel so special and so loved. He came to my mom‘s dental office after he came back from Europe and removed sutures for him. I helped. He’s come over for dinner, taken me to the beach and had the best times. There was a period of time where I didn’t hear from him and it was because of some situations he had gone through and I was so happy to have finally heard from him and I couldn’t wait to see him after it been some time. I just keep feeling my heart drop every time I realize that he died two days after I last texted him, so eager to finally embrace him again. He was so strong and tall. My mind is aching and scrambling for answers… The weekend before we were supposed to meet he had told me that he had been feeling sick for a couple of weeks and we had postponed our meeting because of what he told me and he didn’t want me to get whatever he had come down with… Little did I know that shortly after that I wouldn’t be able to see him for that postponed date we were supposed to have after all. I had so much fun talking to him about all kinds of stuff, he told me a lot about things he gone through and done, trusted me, and I knew he loved me as I loved him beyond words… beyond everything and I would do anything to get him back. Please…if anyone can reach out to me at 215-806-0606 i’m begging you please My deepest of deep condolences to the family….I can’t imagine what you all are going through. he especially talked about how much he loved his mom. I don’t know what possessed me to look him up again on the Internet because I had been calling him and texting him and I figured that he had gotten into a situation again and then I would be hearing back from him once he was out and back… I didn’t know if he had left the country again… With Dave being the spontaneous soul that he was I wondered if it was something of that nature and that I just kept waiting month after month to hear back from him and I never would’ve thought to look up his obituary….and I am beyond devastated to the point where I can’t even accept it being true. I am full of grief and sorrow, those two words don’t even describe how I feel. What I would do to hear his voice again. I pray he can at least visit me in my dreams. I wish it wasn’t real and if it wasn’t real I would know, because I can barely handle this… my love pours out to you all. I have been crying nonstop and I don’t see how I will be able to stop. Dave I miss you forever and my heart hurts beyond description. I am a musician songwriter singer, which Dave really loved about me. And I’m going to write a song for him, and it will be uploaded and performed everywhere in his name and honor. I will honor him forever in anyway that I can and if there’s anything else that I can do for the family please please tell me. I work in a ChaddsFord area, that’s how I met dear Dave. That picture I added to this was what he sent me during his day of hunting… And I couldn’t wait to go hunting with him one day. One day I will in heaven. Love to you all. to Dave most of all -Ilyana Barboza
