I can now update everyone as I didnt want to until my sister updated, heres my sister Cheryls update: My heart is heavy and broken as I write this. My sweet, brave, courageous husband Dave passed away this morning at 11:47am. He went peacefully and quickly. I cannot explain to you in words the void that I am feeling right now. I have been too overwhelmed to get on facebook at all since he died. His passing was quiet and quick and such a PEACE filled the room and I felt as though a heavy weight was lifted from me as I came to the realization that he was now HEALED and NOT in pain. The last 24 hours has been excruciating for us to watch as he suffered from AML in its final stages. Ashley and Joe were there as well as our dear friends, Chuck & Cindy. Within minutes other family and friends were there to support us, hug us, feed us, help with preparations etc. The reality of it all really hit when the funeral personnel came and took his body from our bed and took him out. As I watched the funeral hearse take him away, a huge piece of me died. I am numb yet thankful, broken yet rejoicing that he is in heaven and playing that bass guitar of his in a worship service that NEVER ends. I am blessed and honored to say that I was his wife. He was my best friend and my lover. I am proud of my warrior husband who honored God even during the pain and worshipped him out loud even in between puking up blood he STILL said, Be exalted God and Jesus, Jesus, Jesus..... I honored his request to die at home - up until the end I did EVERYTHING he asked me to do for him. My daughter Ashley honored her dad by taking care of his medications and helping administer them. She and Joe both made sure I ate and had anything I needed. They even were a wonderful host/hostess to all those who came. To my son DJ and sweet Courtney - you texted us, called us, loved us from afar and we knew you were both with us here in spirit. To Tom and Julie Ross - you were there for us every step of the way. To Sharon Collins - you are an amazing bff. To others who rushed over to be with us when this started, to those who held us up in prayer for the last two years, to those who blessed us with gifts, meals, money, hugs etc - I cannot thank you enough. Team Dave has been there for us from the beginning. To Pastor Bob Reeves - your support and love has meant the world. I know there are others but my mind is not clear right now because I am EXHAUSTED beyond words and still in shock at how fast this all happened so please dont feel slighted. I will put funeral arrangements in a separate post. Thank you all - please pray for us as we are in pain and mourning the most amazing man anyone could ever know......GOD IS STILL ON THE THRONE. I AM STILL WORSHIPPING THROUGH BROKENESS. Dave is at PEACE and no longer suffering - I could not ask for more.
