David was such inspiration to all of us and who lived his life in such a way that we should emulate his compassion love of life and how to be a true Free Spirit.
The world will be a lesser place without him, but I take comfort in the fact that we are all better for knowing him.
God Bless him and the entire Rocco Family.
I wish you all peace.

Linda and I were so sorry to hear this news. He was quite the fighter and a great example to “never give up”.
Nancy & I are deeply saddened by the loss of David. He was very young when his body began to betray him and yet he lived an active and full life despite the pain and illnesses he endured. I will never forget the first time I met David- on the soccer field in Cranberry, helping his dad coach the team. Tony was the coach and he would call Kyle ” CAL”. But my most vivid memory was watching David running effortlessly up and down the field, controlling the ball, pure athleticism flowing through his body – a gifted athlete for sure.
We are truly sorry for your loss. He will live forever in your hearts. We love you guys…
So incredibly sorry for you loss – your family is in our thoughts and prayers.
Tony, Linda, & Family….
Please accept our sincere condolences and deepest sympathy on your terrible loss. May your beautiful memories of David bring you comfort and peace during this difficult time. Sending our love and praying for you…..
