To David's Family:
I was looking you up to see if I could help you during the current storm (Harvey), and found this obituary. I did not know. I am so very sorry for your loss. As a Marine, I can go for years without talking to someone and still feel like we are the closest and best of friends - that we could call upon each other and expect results at any time - so it might sound odd that it would take me three years to learn of David's passing, and yet claim we were extremely close. But we were: we were brothers!
There were 7 of us: joined together at the hip, right after boot camp. Raw, tasting the world for the first time, learning to be men, learning to fly (figuratively and literally). Millington, Pensacola, Lejeune: so many memories. McClellen was the first to get a car, and somehow we would all fit in it on the weekends. That is, until he fell asleep at the wheel and rolled it into a ditch. Even upside down with his head under water, he still slept! David had to pull him out through the rear window! I think we all saved each other's lives a hundred times that year - and most of the time it was David that got us into the trouble!
I think my fondest memory of David was watching him dance. Just not his dancing clothes: he had two outfits - Maroon and Aqua. If he put on his Aqua Wranglers, he would put on his Maroon boots and shirt, and vice versa - he was a hoot. That boy could dance though, and when he got going, he had every woman in the place waiting in line! It was Wilmington NC, 1994, in a huge dance hall, when our motley crew walked in. We struggled through the crowd by the door and found a table, only to find David missing. As we tried to communicate to each other about where he could be, the noise got louder and louder - something was going on down by the dance floor. We pushed through the thickening crowed to see what was going on, and there he was - out in the center of the floor swinging some un-expecting NC State college girl with the crowed going wild! Besides his skill, the fact that we had been in the building less than 3 minutes is what makes this memory so amazing!
Craziest memory: After watching the Navy Seals movie, David stopped our cab on the Golf Breeze bridge in Pensacola, through the cabbie a $20, and then jumped. After seeing him alive at the bottom, we had nothing better to do than to jump in with him - clothes, wallets and all. He was our Crazy Texan!
I was the mother-hen of the group - how many times did I have to tell him to put sun-block on those fire-poker scars. And that Pontiac of his: just because it had 135 on the speedometer did not mean he should check it for accuracy.
I could go on and on, but I will stop now. Shown's, please let me know if you need anything - I am so very sorry for your loss. I do have one request - I do not think I will be able to have closure of my own if I am unable to learn of how he passed. If it is not too grieves for you, please consider contacting me at cmsoliday@comcast.net
Semper Fi,
Christopher Soliday

The simple life is what you told me you wanted. Not worry about being rich. but to enjoy the riches of family. A day full of fishing, cooking out and enjoying that one person who would share the same values. So save a pole for all of us David. We love you.
