So sorry for your loss! David was one of a kind and will be greatly missed. I am unable to attend the services and I really regret that I am unable to go. David was a good person and a enjoyable co-worker. Sending prayers to his family and friends. R.I.P. Dave.
I am sorry for your loss but I am sure that Dave left this life in the way he lived it–on his own terms. I was fortunate to have the pleasure of working with him many years at WSH in the nursing dept. He always smiled. We might not talk for a while but he always amazed me by beginning where our last conversation ended when we bumped into each other again.
Do take care and prayers with you all.
Dave and I graduated from high school together, and recently we began catching up with each other on Facebook. He was the nicest guy. Joyce, Mary and family, my thoughts are with you,
Sheila
I love the obit photo as it was so much like him. I worked at the State Hosp and he was my Supervisor. He was good with the patients and his staff. One day he was leaving work and said, I’m going to go home and do a little bonding with my gal. He had that same grin when he said it. My sympathies, Wendy Ristau
My deepest condolences to the family of David Seceniquia. I had the honor of knowing Mr.D. who had the most amazing mind, a sense of humor that had no boundaries and a true appreciation for good music. Mr. D had the mind of a genius and the heart of a child and could make the sun shine in a thunder storm. I will miss him very, very much.
