Condolence: A THOUGHT OF WHAT DAVE WOULD SAY TO ALL OF US WHO ARE AND WILL FOREVER MOURN HIS LOSS. "Don't stand by my grave and weep, For I am not there, I do not sleep. I am a thousand winds that blow. I am the diamond glint of snow. I am the sunlight on ripened grain. I am the gentle autumn's rain. When you awaken in the morning, hush. For I am the swift uplifting rush Of quiet birds in circle flight. I am the soft stars that shine at night. Do not stand by my grave and cry. I am not there, I did not die."

Condolence From: Debi O'Shea
Condolence: My prayers continue daily for the Popek family, that God will give you the strength to get through his horrible ordeal. Through the grief, I hope you all were able to see impact David made to all who knew him. The hundreds of people who came to pay their last respects to him at the funeral home are a testament to kind of person he was. I think David's greatest attribute is that he truly liked everyone he met. His charisma had a way of making you feel good. The last time I spoke with David, he told me all about his job as a Federal Marshall. I told him I was glad he was keeping everyone in the air safe. I think he'll be doing the same job from now on, looking down from heaven and making sure we're all safe. May God be good to him, and may God Bless and comfort all who love him.

Condolence From: Katie Walsh
Condolence: I met Dave freshman year at TCNJ. He lived across from me and was always there if I needed someone to talk to. Dave was the kind of person to brighten anyone's day. He was honestly such a genuine, ambitious, and sincere guy. I am grateful to have known him throughout college. To me, Dave is still with all of us. So it's not goodbye, it's see you later. Sending thoughts and prayers to Dave's family and friends. RIP <3

Condolence From: Samantha Negraval
Condolence: I had classes with David at TCNJ in the Social Science Building, and I knew he played on the football team. I have a clear memory of David when he came to class one day in his football jersey while on crutches. He seemed like a dedicated person back then, and reading the newspaper article on his life further confirmed that notion. He was a remarkable and talented young man. To his family and friends, I am so sorry for your sudden loss. You are in my thoughts and prayers.

Condolence From: Debra Pope & Ernest Paluszek, III
Condolence: The other day me and Ernie learned of the untimely death of your son. There are no words to describe the utter grief that we are feeling right now and we cannot possibly imagine the shock and sorrow that has been thrust on you and your family as well. We will always remember fondly the experiences we had together in couching baseball with both of our sons. It is true, he was taken too soon and we think you share our sentiments that we feel it a little unfair that such a smart and talented young man's life has ended with so much living to do. Please accept me and Ernie's sincerest condolences and know that we are thinking of you. Yours in mutual grief, Debra Pope and Ernest Paluszek, III.

Condolence From: The Zapotosky Family
Condolence: Always David, The life he lived was full, he left us with many many memories. He was a leader, with a gentle soul, he always was at the head of the pack paving the way for the others, now he is our Angel and I am sure he will be looking over all of us and waiting for the time to lead us again. Times like this makes me question God and ask why? We will never get an answer but take from this a lesson, that each of us are not invincible, each day is a gift from God. Be at peace David, we love you and miss you... Until we meet again... Barbara, words can not express our sorrow. Our thoughts and prays are with you all. Please let us know if we can help in anyway.

Condolence From: John and Kathleen Markey
Condolence: It is with utter disbelief that we send this condolence to the Popek Family! How does one express their thoughts in such a tragic situation? Words of sympathy can help but it is the heart that speaks of the true emotions for one of the most outstanding individuals that I have come to know. From a little boy walking into the kindergarten for the first time, to when he graduated high school, David left me with memories I will never forget! The loss of such a beautiful human being who was full of spirit, compassion and kindness to others is difficult to process. To his parents, especially Barbara, and his brothers and sister: try to turn this sadness to joy in knowing David was GOD's gift to us all.

Condolence From: Joseph Knight
Condolence: My deepends condolences to the Popek Family. I went to TCNJ with Dave, and I can truly say that he touched members of each and every student group at that school. His smile and energy would always light up a room, and he was one of the most loyal and driven people I have ever met. He had an impact on so many lives during his short time here, and that will not be forgotten. He was looked up to by many, and will be dearly missed by all those who were lucky enough to know him, simply by being the person he was.
