WHEREAS, in becoming a Peace Officer for the Nevada Secretary of State, David was able to serve with distinction working for four different Secretaries of State and still managing to serve at high levels in Nevada's National Guard the entire time; and

WHEREAS, David's colleagues have long admired his ability to solve investigations with patience and fortitude, always managing to show how much he cared for those he served; and
