Kate, Derrick, Toni we could not have asked for better neighbors and friends for twenty years of our lives. David was such a great guy and we will miss him so much. We will keep you all in continued prayer. Love you all.
We are so sorry for your loss. David was such a kind man May God bring you comfort during this difficult time
No words can express the sorrow I have for the Trimble family. I have many great memories from our childhood. The moment my grandfather married your grandmother we became instant cousins and
close friends. I know in my heart you are again enjoying being with your mom and dad and sister. Love and miss you brother.
We are deeply saddened by the news of Davids passing.
May God bless you all.
David was kind, caring, and generous. “But we do not want you to be uninformed, brothers, about those who are asleep, that you might not grieve as others who have no hope.” I Thessalonians 4:13
Toni sorry to hear about loss you and family will be in my prayers
I first met David in 1983 when I went to work for his family business. There I also met his wonderful family, David was still a little foot loose and maybe sowing a few of those remaining wild oats. Some people we meet in life tend to have a big impact on on the rest of our lives and the Trimble family was one of those for me, They were hard working, descent, honorable, caring and God fearing people. And what little David was lacking at that time he certainly grew into it over the years and then some. David was a truly good soul. He had a heart for people and a huge heart for those hurting. David was no pushover, he would not tolerate dishonesty, lying, stealing or using someone else for your gain. But If you were fair and honest with him he was one of those people that would literally give you the shirt off his back. Through the years my wife Pam and I have come to respect and love David and Kate Trimble. and we have spent just enough time around their children to know David and Kate have instilled the same values in them, Of all the Godly values that David displayed one has always stood out and I will live the rest of my life trying to equal his Integrity. With David what you saw was what you got. When he said something he meant it. We will grieve now, but for me it’s a little selfish grief, just because I miss his his friendship and companionship so much but actually I’m overjoyed for David For his good fight is won and he is with the Lord right now. and if you don’t believe that. I know that if David were here, He would tell you, You’d Better. The rest of our life here on earth will be the blink of an eye compared to eternity and I for one can hardly wait until I can see and rejoice in The Lord with my brother again.
David was one of the most kind and gentle/ humble people I have had the privilege to call a close friend. Although our paths in life went in different locales, me and my entire family have shared the fond memories of David over the years. Numerous fishing trips to Lake Texarkana and Swanners pool and none would have been complete without David and his infectious laugh. Farewell my friend and I pray our paths will merge again.
Kate and family–May God give you comfort during this time.

David was one of the people I hold a special place for in my memories. I think you could say we went through our “mid-life crisis” together during my past life up there. As someone else here noted, yes, we sowed our last wild oats. He was always looking out for everyone else. This world, or rather this life has lost a good soul, but heaven has gained one. RIP, brother.
Kate, so sorry for your loss. Sending thoughts & prayers for your family during this difficult time. Love, Linda.
I loved having Passover at David’s house! And the times we hung out just David and me! The times he came to see me when I broke my foot! But mostly the way him and his family loved me! The way he loved Yahshua!!! I know he will have the best feast days ever!!! I love you David very much! I will try to catch a big bass just got you! Shabbat Shalom!!!
