Dave loved everything outdoors, had a passion for music, and found joy being with those he loved. He was an active member of the Lone Star Hiking Trail Club. He could often be found hiking, gardening,  and fishing. He played the guitar, harmonica, three string cigar box guitar, and, most recently, the ukulele. He loved to share his hobbies and interests with people by enjoying the outdoors together or teaching them about and how to play music. Dave was a radiance for kindness that illuminated all those he came in contact with.
