Condolence: To Susan, Steve, Nancy and Scott Thank you for sharing David and for all the thoughtful memories your family has shared with ours thru the years. The wit, wisdom and friendship of David and of all the Springgates is something we will continue to cherish and nurture as we remember and pray for him and your family.

Condolence: My thoughts and prayers are with Daves's family, friends, and all those that he touched with his kindness, compassion, and wisdom. I will miss you Dave, we all will.

Condolence: My heart broke when I saw the notice. Dave was always the sweetest guy in high school! His hat-trick, our prom, fun visits to the South Haven 'cottage' - all such wonderful memories. I send my prayers to all of the Springgate family. May happy memories bring you comfort and may the promises of heaven bring you peace.

Condolence: I am so sorry that Dave has passed. I remember first knowing him as a happy, cute little guy when we were next door neighbors. Friendly, kind and blessed with a sharp sense of humor, Dave was always a pleasure to see. He will be terribly missed. My condolences to all of his family members.

Condolence: Nancy and family, Sending you peace and strength in the days and weeks to come. I'm so sorry.

Condolence: Dear Nancy and Susan, My deepest sympathies on the loss of your brother. May he rest in peace.

Condolence: Please accept our condolences for your loss. Cousin David will be remembered fondly as a loving human, and for his caring ways with his children and so many others. It is difficult to find words to express our sadness for David's life which ended all too soon. Our sympathy is with Madison & Sterling, David's beautiful adult children; and with David's siblings, Susan, Stephen, Nancy & Scott; and with other family and friends who will miss David. With love, Richard & Randy

Condolence: You have my condolences.

Condolence: My parents (Pete and Nan Brachman) owned the cottage next door to the Springgates in South Haven. We all have fond memories of that crazy bunch of people. No better neighbors were to be found. Peter and I send our condolences to David's family.

Condolence: David was always an inspiration to me during my time working with him at Mylan and later at NANA. He was highly intelligent and driven. I considered him a friend and a role model. I am sorry to hear about his passing. My condolences to all of his family and close friends.

Condolence: Bruce and I met Dave when we moved to Morgantown the summer of 2007. Our son Joe and his son Sterling played football together. We were new to town and it wasn't long before Dave opened his arms wide and made us feel like "family". We have great memories of our 4 years cheering on our Hawks together. I have read so many comment how Dave would give you the shirt off of his back if you needed it. He was truly one of the most generous people I have ever met. In 2011, when Bruce was out of work, Dave introduced him to some colleagues at NANA Development Corporation in Alaska. Who knew that it would lead to over 5 years of work with various divisions at NANA. Dave and Bruce shared many great adventures up in Alaska and he will always be grateful to him for the opportunities given to him there. Dave will be greatly missed by the Lane family and we send our love and prayers to Madi, Sterling and all his extended and "adopted" family.

Condolence: I am extremely sorry for your loss. I met David through my very good and dear friend Helvi. What a guy. He was passionate and alway helpful. And loved hockey games!! He took us (me and all my friends) to the UAA hospitality room even though we were opposing fans!! He talked about his work and was always passionate. I am at a loss for words and so very surprised that this energetic, enthusiastic man is on the other side. For sure he's already bugging Kelly!!

Condolence: I met "Brewery Dave" this fall through my brother. He was kind, generous and friendly- always. He invited my 88 year old mother to dine at the Brewery with him every week. Although I knew him only briefly, it was easy to see what great a person he was. He will be missed here in Frankenmuth. My sincere sympathies to the Springgate family.

Condolence: Dave was a kind friend, colleague, and boss. He always had time to listen to you, smile, and let you know that you mattered to him. I'll miss his big heart, friendship, and his warmth. Life is too short, but this was way too short. I'll miss you, Dave.

Condolence: Both Jamie and I send our condolences to Dave's family. I have great memories of Dave during his time in WV. A willing friend, mentor and manager, rest in peace Dave.

Condolence: Mary and I are deeply saddened to the core at this terrible tragedy. He was such a fine person, generous, kind, and good. We would have gone there to save him if we had known his life was in danger.
