David was a man of simple pleasures, cherishing the joy found in everyday experiences. He relished in his favorite foods, such as pizza, and the delightful taste of Dr. Pepper. David spent many hours engrossed in TV shows such as Ryan's World, and Spongebob. Fortnite, Roblox, and Grand Theft  Auto were his games of choice. Movies like Shrek, Chucky and The Power Rangers would be his choices for movie nights.

David had a particular affinity for Mr. Beast's YouTube performances and recreational activities that included playing video games, riding his bike, and shooting hoops. Always up for a little friendly competition, he enjoyed challenging his cousins and best friend to a game or two. David's preferred way to exercise was to ride his bike; while listening to SpongBob soundtracks!  He loved the color Red and his love for exploration was seen by all who knew him.

David Dame's legacy is one filled with warmth and laughter, his unique personality shaping many cherished memories. His loss is a significant void in our lives, but his memory will continue to inspire kindness and genuine love. David will be deeply missed, but his spirit will live on within each one of us.
