Praying for God’s Comfort and Peace for the Family! Faithful servant!
Dear Brother Dave, Family and Friends,
“Amazing Grace,
how sweet the sound
that saved a wretch like me
I once was lost but now am found
Was blind but now I see
When we’ve been there,
ten thousand years
Bright shining as the sun
We’ve no less days to sing God’s praise
Than when we first begun”
We take great comfort in knowing Dave is resting in peace.
Blessings,
Jeanne, Camille & Lily
I will always be thankful to David Holland for Boy Scout Troop 776. As a single mom, it was a blessing to have a Christian man take an interest in my son and help him learn about camping. David was always ready to take the boys to interesting places and help them earn merit badges. He never shied away from overnight camping when it snowed or there were tornadoes in the area. His steady, patient demeanor with the boys helped them feel confident and cared for. He could be counted on to lead a Bible study or pray for the boys and their requests. I appreciate everything David did to help my son grow into the well-rounded man he is today.
Praying God’s comfort, grace, and blessings for the family.
There are no words to express my sorrow for your family, as I cannot imagine what you all are feeling right now. I am praying for your family as you embark on this grief journey and then on the healing process. Cling to your faith during this time, and know that you all will be reunited in the beautiful eternity of heaven! Much love and many prayers being sent to your family. We love you all.

David loved Jesus with all his heart, and faithfully served God throughout his life. Dave’s greatest desire was for all to know and accept Jesus Christ as their Lord and Savior. He brought many to know God’s love. It is such a comfort to those he had to leave here on earth that David still lives with us in our hearts, and that he lives healed and whole forever with his Heavenly Father. We will all be together one Glorious Day.
Grace and peace, friends and family, David’s sister, Susan, (“Joe”)

I was blessed to go on several mission trips with Dave. He was always so encouraging and exuded such joy as he shared the gospel. Pat, my heart goes out to you and the family.
Such a good man and such an influence on my oldest son through the Scout troop. I am grateful to have known him . Pat and children, special love from the Cook family.
Sweet Pat,

Precious forever friend. I am so sorry for this sorrow. Dave was your special partner. I am mastering the EvangeCube because of Dave. Because He Lives!
What a celebration in heaven greeted Dave. He was a true servant, always putting His Savior’s love on display. He impacted our family for eternity.
Our deepest sympathy.
I’m glad he’s dead. A worst person has seldom walked the earth. His daughter absolutely hated him and was not shy about telling anyone and everyone what he was. She called the police on him when when has beating his wife. He broke windows, destroyed TV’s and more. He was physically abusive, mentally abusive, condescending and is now in hell.
