To Fritz, Jack, David, Kerry, Mike, and Chris: Thank You for the memories, and PRAISE GOD you are together with HIM in Heaven. To Kevin: Once again, thank you for the memories, and may you and your family know the Peace of GOD for all eternity. To Lacey and Ross: My best wishes to both of you both in and out of the ring.

David wasn't the biggest-built of the VonErichs and probably wasn't the strongest, but he'd be the LAST one I'd want drunk and pissed off at me. David was the real deal - a true tough southern boy.
