David Scott Candler

Thank you so much for your message to Davis on the funeral home website. Davis' twin sister, Susan, saw it this weekend. It is coming up on the 11th anniversary of Davis' death and while it is bittersweet, we really never stop thinking about him. Your message touched our heart. Please know it was greatly appreciated, especially at a time of year when we are missing both he and his brother, Paul, who died in 2013. Our best to you. Marge, Larry & Susan Candler

Oh my dear friend Davis, how the time has passed and how you have been missed. It is hard to believe that you have been gone for so long. I thought of you today and hoped I would find the appropriate place to send you a message. Fortunately, I did. I don't know if anybody will read this, and it doesn't matter if they do or don't. Really I am wanting this message to reach you and nobody else. Somehow I just know you will receive it. I'm sorry I never made it to your services. I can't even remember what reason I had for not going. Maybe work, maybe time, maybe money. Who knows. I think the teal reason was that I didn't want to go because it would make it real. In some way by not going you would still be out there in the world somewhere. I needed to believe that. We met in Atlanta when I lived there between 1994 and 1999. I remember all the good times we had in Atlanta. The last time I saw you was probably sometime in 2000. I remember you went to Denver for a work function. I had just bought my condo and wanted to show it to you. I never imagined that we would never see each other again. Our lives got busier and we had less and less contact. However, I always knew you were a phone call away. I remember talking with you right after 9/11. The photos and accounts you had of that day were unbelievable. I think everybody was in shock and concerned about the future. I know you said it was one of the most terrifying days of your life and you didn't know if you would survive that day. I'm not sure where your life took you from that day forward. Recently the country had another setback that has caused a lot of fear for people like us. Please watch over us. It is frightening where our future will take us with some bad people in power. If we ever needed a divine intervention it is now. I know good will always win over evil so I just need to believe. I don't always know why things happen, but need to keep some kind of faith that things will work out.If you get my message just know you are missed. I wish I could pick up the phone and call you to tell you all of this but regardless I feel better getting it all out in the universe hoping it will find its way to you. I hope to see you again someday my friend. Please send me a sign to let me know you heard me. Maybe I don't need one. Maybe this is my sign to find this space to connect once again.

Hi Susan, I remember Davis taking us to your parent's house where I met you. I was living in Atlanta at the time. I'm so sorry that you lost your brother. He was a good friend of mine and a good person. I just posted my memories here. I still feel like he is out there listening. I thought of him today and somehow ended up on this page communicating with him again. I know it has been several years but I still think of him often.

Our most sincere and deepest condolenses to Davis's family, his parents and siblings and his family at large. "Sunset and evening star, And one clear call for me! And may there be no moaning of the bar, When I put out to sea, But such a tide as

What can I say? It's definitely not the same around here. It amazes me how large of an effect one person can have on others - without that type of person around, it's very noticeable. Davis was a good person.
