Missing Dave
We have always believed that our time on earth is simply a development period for an even larger responsibility - one that is impossible to enumerate, but one that is important from a faith perspective. I know everyone believes that this is the case for Dave. Take care of each other as he Dave did, as hard as it is, and try to remember your brother and friend, for his life rather than his passing...

My Saviour
Dave means the world to me. If it weren't for Dave, I would still be lost and afraid of the world.
When I was going through a very hard time in my life, he opened his arms to me. He took me into his home and fed me. Dave gave me a place where I could feel safe. He didn't only bring me into his home, with his family(at the time Matt&Chris+Kera+Artemis&Dave himself).. he made me a part of his family. A real family. This was the first time in my life that where I felt like I belonged somewhere.. like I had a purpose. I knew I was truly loved.
I couldn't even begin to explain to you the connection I had with Dave. It was a true love we had for one another. He wasn't from this world, he was much more than that... and will continue to be forever in my heart, mind and soul.
Dave actually saved my life one cold night. I wont explain in full detail, because this is a very personal story.. but I may be dead this very moment if it weren't for Dave.
I could never begin to thank him enough for what he did for me, or Chris, or anyone who he helped. All I know is I loved him and he loved me, and that he saved me from myself.
....... He made me realize I had power within me, and told me to always take care of business. Not many people really understand how close we were. How well I knew him or how well he knew me. What I just wrote isn't nearly enough to begin explaining it. It is what is it.. and it will always be that way.. so make it what you want it to be.
So many memories.. I love you Dave. I love you Chris. I Love you Matt.. Artemis and Kera. I miss our crazed family. Let us never forget the good times!
Dave, I will always be your little lady ;)
I LOVE YOU SOOOO MUCH!!!!! You made me feel special for the time in my life. Thank you for giving me this experience, this chance to start a new. The chance to be a part of your life, as well as Chris'. I WILL NEVER FORGET! You saw the good in me, and never let me forget it!
Goodbye for now ;)
Yours for eternity

As one of Chris's teachers, I did not always have the pleasure of speaking with Dave under the most positive of circumstances :) . But what WAS always very clearly evident to me was the level of dedication to and great love for Chris. Dave has had a tremendous influence in shaping Chris to be a young man about whom I am proud to say that I was, and continue to be, a part of their journey. God bless.

Chris-
I am so sorry to hear of the sudden passing of your stepfather. I remember meeting him here in the office. I just became aware of this now, so I regretfully missed the opportunity of coming to the visitation yesterday. Just wanted you to know that I was thinking of you. Come by and let us know how you are doing sometime okay?

To all of Dave's Family and those closest to him.
I was very saddened to hear of Dave's passing. Though there has not been much contact over the years, there will always be a connection with family. Many memories of our early youth and some of the talks we had, will be cherish.
Through this difficult time, remember all of the love and your fondest memories that you have of Dave and draw from them to give you strength and comfort.
I know that God will welcome him with open arms and that Aunt Gert will be the first one to greet him.
I am so sorry I am unable to be with you during this time of grief but know that our thought and prayers are with you.
Love
Lorie and family

Dear Chris & family: My deepest sympathy to you at this difficult time. Chris - you are doing a great job. As you walk through life - each time you have a decision to make - you will likely hear Dave's voice guiding you. Hang tight to that & you will do allright my friend. My special thank you to Dave for helping guide my son through a difficult time & while they had their share of conflict & indecision - Dave remains close in my son's heart. Thanks Dave. Thinking of you in this new journey.

They say the greatest teacher is the one who does not speak, and you have always taught me the importance of priority, and as important as you are, i wish i could be there to be with you, but my responsibilities to the life i have built, sought after your perspective of joy and happiness, taught me the most valued principle i can imagine in this time.
you are my hero, and you will always be loved.
love, Rob

Sincerest apologies for not being able to have made myself present for the celebration of Dave, as well as my support for the entire family. As great a man as i knew he was, it would have been nothing less than honorable to have extended my understanding of his life and love that deeply impacted the furthest reaches of all family.
Forever existent.

IN MEMORY OF MY UNCLE ~ DAVID CHARTRAND
I didn't know that morning. that God was going to call your name,
In life I loved you dearly, and in death I'll do the same.
It broke my heart to loose you, you did not go alone,
for part of me went with you, the day God called you home.
You left me beautiful memories, your love is still my guide,
and though we cannot see you, you'll always be at my side.
Our family chain is broken and nothing seems the same,
but as God calls us one by one, the chain will link again.
