I served with Dave in the US Navy while we were both stationed at NAS Patuxent River Maryland. Dave was a person with an awesome demeanor, wicked sense of humor and was the real deal! RIP Dave -

My friend just sent me the sad message of Dave's passing. I know him from Braintree High. I remember how friendly he was and always made me feel special. He had a unforgettable smile and my friend just reminded me that he called us "Dave's angels" May he rest in peace. He will always be fondly remembered. Sincere sympathy to the Payne family.

We are so sorry for your loss. David was one of my cousins and I remember him fondly from my childhood. More recently, we had a family reunion in 2009 and it was so fun to touch base again.
