What tragic news! Last September I spoke with Fr David about having a workshop in Spanish for his parish. It was evident even in that short call that he was very dedicated to his community and especially supportive of his Spanish speaking musicians. There is no doubt that he will be very missed. God rest his soul.

Prayers for the family.

Praying for their souls' speedy arrival into the blessed arms of Christ. God bless. Rev. RB
