We love you Davey and are so proud to know you! The life you lived was nothing short of a happy one. We were so blessed to be a part of it. May you Rest In Peace and have all the Pepsi you can drink and trikes you can ride.

David was a valued member of the North Liberty Community. He touched many lives and will be missed

Sorry to hear about David. I lived in North Liberty for many years. David and some of his siblings loved to come to our house to play pool. All the kids were nice. RIP David

Lots of good child hood memory's. Living across the street from Davey while growing up he never had anything but a kind word and friendly wave every time he saw you. The world needs more Davey's.

Larry and I moved to North Liberty in 1978 and still live here, so we can attest to Davey being an icon. His smile and friendly greeting lifted one's spirit and he never missed any local event. Our sincere condolences go out to the Slade family. He will be missed by so many. What a great picture you chose for his obit - exactly the way we will remember him.

To the Slade family, I am sorry for your loss. I do remember David coming to my grandparent's grocery store from time to time when we came to visit.

I remember Dave from the Coralville softball diamonds when I was a kid. I used to live in North Liberty for years and saw him all the time. I alway would give him all my pop cans. He would always wave and tell me to get to work. I would tell him to get to work and he would laugh. Sorry to hear he passed. My condolences to the Slade family very sorry for your loss.

Dave was one of the best in our family. He accepted everyone, always greeting others with a smile. He was the one who could brighten your worst days. I always loved spending weeks out of the summer with Dave and Mike. Because of Dave, o learned how to ride a tricycle. He would go to the park with us (my siblings and I), go to fin days and ride bikes to go get ice cream. He was always amazing to be around. We will miss you so much, but I'm honored to have all the memories I do, with you. Thinking of the Slade family.

My sincere condolences to the entire Slade family! He most certainly was an icon to the community, always had such a beautiful smile and friendly wave! May you rest in peace! Sandy Hora

Our condolences to the entire Slade family. What a good life. What a special man. Peace to you all, Friends! Kelly and Nancy Hayworth

Slade family sorry for your loss. You will all be in my prayers. I will never forget Dave’s big smile and friendly wave. I always stop to buy him a Pepsi when I would be patrolling for the Sheriffs Dept. He will be missed. God Bless
