Dave..i wish i would have called you one more time. You told me about mom and it crushed my heart. I missed her passing with great regret. You made her so happy, and you have my condolences for that. I've never been a friend of the polices but you were more than a label. You my friend helped her die in peace...i hope you went pleasntly to join her in eternity for a never ending happiness on the simple farm life you guys invisioned.

Dave was the first person I met when I started at the State Gaming Agency in 2002. His hospitality and sense of humor were second to none. I'm saddened to hear of his passing, and I send prayers of comfort to his son during this difficult time.

Joel: We were so sorry to hear of your Dad's passing. I remember you and your Mom and Dad every time I walk by your old house on 28th Terrace. You and your family were wonderful neighbors and friends! Your Dad will be missed and remembered by so many people because of the positive teaching he placed on their lives. Our prayers are with you and your step-brother at this dark hour. May God bless you both!!! The Ratliff family (Tom, Linda Bill, Jim)

There will never be another Dave Reavis. His generosity and love of life (and all things law enforcement) was apparent in all that he did for our community. Humor and laughter carried him through, no matter what circumstance he faced. Despite the somber duties of his police career he never took himself too seriously. He loved a good joke, and if it was aimed your direction you knew he cared. We will miss Dave, but will relive fond memories and stories...with much laughter.

David, has always been a great family friend and close lifelong friend of my dad. I have so many fond memories of our families together. We spent several fun vacations together, while at FOP conventions, parties and cookouts for the police families out at the lodge, and I loved babysitting for his son Joel.
I will truly miss him and feel blessed to have had the opportunity to know him. His humor and laugh are unforgettable.
My sincere sympathies to Joel and David's family. May he rest in peace.

Dave, You were a bright spot in the many lives you touched, whether it was as a civilian, or as a Police Officer. A Great Man, Husband, Father and Friend. You will be missed by many of us who had the privilege of knowing you. May God Bless your family and comfort them during this difficult time. Thanks for your friendship as it meant the world to me.

I met David when we were testifying at the statehouse in favor of concealed carry. His presentation was better than mine, I might add. I instantly liked him. I came across his name several times as we both made statements online in favor of similar topics. I served for 30 years as a deputy for SN county. David was a great guy, very intelligent, obviously good at his job, and got along well with people. It was a privilege knowing him. My deepest sympathy to his family and friends.

Dave was a gem of a man, who I had the great fortune to know when he married my dear friend Barb. I'm glad that they had a few happy years together. I will always think fondly of Dave for his humor, laughter and the way he loved Barb.

You were a huge part of my childhood and are included in so many of my most fondest memories from all of our FOP convention trips to range time at the FOP. You were a true family friend and I know my dad loved you like a brother. More than a brother in blue. You were family. May you soar the cosmos and bask in the light of the Lord until we all meet again. I love you!
