“David Charles Summers, 33, of Little Rock, passed away Friday, July 21, 2006. David was known for his wonderful sense of humor, his smile and his big brown eyes. David was a genuine person, loyal friend, very kind hearted and a peacemaker. He graduated Parkview High School in 1991. After graduating David began acting for the Historic Arkansas Museum in Little Rock. He and his close friend Richard wrote and directed seven original play writes. He was employed with Powers of Arkansas for the past 10 years, member of the A.B.A.T.E. of Arkansas and a member of Calvary Chapel of Saline County.

David is preceded in death by his father, Dr. Charles E. Summers, grandparents, Marion and Wilma Duff and mother in law, Peggy Stone. He is survived by his loving wife, Rhonda Summers, mother, Pat Summers, brother, Bud Summers, sister, Dawn Summers and her husband, Mark, nieces and nephews, Grayson, Bradley, Christyl, Christopher, Amber, Jamie and Kevin and many other relatives and friends that loved him.

A celebration of David’s life will be held on Wednesday, July 26,2006 at 2:00 p.m. in the chapel of Griffin Leggett Forest Hills…”

It was quite a celebration! There were bagpipes, a live acoustic rendition of Forever by the punk group Dropkick Murphys, lots of Hawaiian shirts (including David’s), and a fair share of laughter and tears. Even though I know David is in Heaven, it was quite an emotional day today. He’s having a blast right now, but it sure is hard for those he left behind. Especially his wife.
