one of the best man you could ever meet in your life always made sure you had a smile upon your face and I have been honored to have him as a part of my family and now that him and my aunt says are together with our Heavenly Father I know that he will stand by their sides and make sure that they are happy and heaven together amen
Dave, I can't believe you are gone. There are so many memories I would love to share, starting all the way back when you were in diapers! You were a wonderful guy and a wonderful brother. May God now grant you the peace you had so desperately sought since you lost Betty. You will always be in our hearts.

David was my cousin, I remember going to Uncle John and Aunt Bessie's house. Hate to hear it. Thoughts and prayers to the family.Kathy Brookman Nicol
Uncle Dave, I hope you knew how much I enjoyed the times that we spent together. You shared much of the knowledge and talents that Grandpa Brookman passed down to you that I miss so much. Our family and the rest of the world has lost a great man.Rhonda (Bunch) Beiler
I am so sorry to read of Davids death. My father, Ernest L Rhynes of Ina Il and Davids dad, John Brookman were great friends, fishing and hunting buddies. I remember waking many mornings with John, Art Phillips in or home, stoking up the fire, coffee on the stove and John, with his stogie in his mouth playing on our upright piano. Our families visited many times and I remember many of the children of the family. My sympathy to your family. Janice E Pigge (Rhynes). Mt Vernon, Il
My Uncle was awesome. He will be missed. Wish I could be there my heart goes out to you all.Randy and Sherri Bunch
Semper fidelis my friend from many years ago when we were young kids. I salute you as a corpsman in the USN for your service in the marine corps. You don't know how many times I have reflected on our childhood days with sleep overs at your parents house. I remember your dad playing cards in his chair using his lap table and your mom keeping an eye on us as we housed and raised pigeons in the garage. I remember us watching the Three Stooges many times and your brother and me mimicking their actions. Wow – Time is truly like a vapor that appears for a second then is gone. Eternity is forever and I know that you are at rest in the presence of our Lord, Jesus Christ, waiting on us to join you. Semper fi David. Mike Wooldridge
Thank you from the family.
I remember David from the Class of 1965 at MacArthur High School. I would just like his family and friends to know how sorry I am for their loss.
