A kind, compassionate, bright light in any space, David’s amazing energy and radiant spirit always encourage his family to see what is special and valuable in each day. Whether sharing one of his epic knock-knock jokes or laughing and spending quality time with his family and friends, he is always up for tons of fun! Still loving all things Donald Duck, hitting homeruns in baseball, and showing off his bravery by trying exotic and unique foods, David is certainly the perfect person to keep you smiling and having a great time.
David required open heart surgery as an infant, and has navigated Autism, anxiety, and developmental delays. Today, he is thriving as an actor, pianist, dancer, and avid Gamecocks fan. Whether on stage or in the stands, he refuses to let obstacles bring him down. Most recently, he has been facing his fears and embarking on new experiences—even petting a dog for the first time after being afraid to do so for years! He can always be counted on to help with chores and doing precisely what needs to be done before going out to have fun.
David’s family truly enjoys his adventurous spirit, his love for traveling to new places, visiting the library, and going swimming. He encourages them to leave their own comfort zones behind to see all that life has to offer. David is thriving and his family is looking forward to supporting him through the next steps on his magnificent pathway through life
