I had the honor of not only having Dave as a coworker but he was also a friend for 11 years.
It will not be the same without him.
Dave was a terrific friend to both my brother and I – we will miss starting our weeks with him every Monday at 8am. Always with such a positive attitude even as we all struggled through the great recession, Dave constantly provided that shot of encouragement that carried us through until the next Monday. We will miss him very much…
I worked with Dave at Hood Industries. I only saw Dave once or twice a year, but he always had a smile on his face and a kind heart. He will truely be missed and my thoughts and prayers are with his family.
We were fortunate enough to have become friends with Mr. David Bayes through our friendship with Wesley & Kellye. Mr. Bayes was always an extremely kind hearted and sincere man, never afraid to smile. We will miss him and offer our deepest condolences to the Bayes Family.
Dave was my work friend for many years. He was always helpful, generous, very practical. He had a great sense of humor and a no-nonsense approach to work and to life. Good memories.
A terrific man will be missed. I had the pleasure of Dave visiting my office every Monday morning for the last 5 years. During which time I learned a lot from him. Most importantly, as stated above, was how to stay positive. I will truly miss him. God Bless!
Dave was of of the finest men I had ever met. I always enjoyed when he stopped by our store. Last time he stopped was about a month ago I made him catch me up on the family, His face lit up like a new Christmas tree when he talked about his grand sons. My sincere prayer are for his loving family.
Dave Bayes was always kind and helpful when he came to call on our family store. A gentleman and a respected friend. We will miss his southern drawl and neverending smiles.
Much too soon. You are missed.
