Dear Griggs Family,
I am so very sorry to learn of David's passing. I remember him vividly from high school. Although sometimes he made me nervous about some of his grades, he held a very special place in my heart. David and I spoke often about his plans for the future. I am saddened by this tragic loss.

Dave, please stay with your family and help them get through this pain. I could write a book with all of our memories but 2 stand out the most. Your laugh, dave, that laugh always made me laugh and I thank you for that. Your loyalty, if you considered someone a friend or family, you would give the shirt off of your back for them (I’ve witnessed him literally do it). Heaven became a lot more fun, I’m sure you already have “sandstorm” blasting and your dancing around just like you always did! Love ya bud, I’ll see you when I get there❤️

David and Laina:
I am very sorry to hear of the passing of your son. Please know that my thoughts and prayers are with you during this tragic time. This is a true catastrophe, and there are simply no words that can help you deal with such profound and debilitating sorrow. But know this. To God, our lives here on Earth are a blink in our eternal existence. As an Eternal Being, God does not see loss of life here as tragic at all because from God’s perspective, physical death on Earth merely represents a change of address. So your son has not left you completely, he has simply moved on to another place....and you are sailing right behind…..and time is your ocean...
