I’ll never forget how your face lit up whenever you saw me. Our conversations will be forever held as precious memories. I can’t wait to talk about you when Luna grows up so Luna knows what a great man you were. We will always love and miss you Mr. Dave.

Mr. Lilley, I have so many memories in such a short time. You were family to us. I don't think I will ever forget the night Miss Sue wanted a dog! It was a Friday night at 9. She wanted to go pick it up that night. All you kept saying and shaking your head, I am not getting a dog. She went to use the ladies room and looked at Preston and I and said, I guess I am going to have to get a dog. We talked her out of going that night. A few weeks later you got a dog. WOW, Bella became your dog and as everyone else in your life, she loved you and she was your girl. I knew you were in pain the last few months. I could tell by your face you were struggling. We will miss you but you will be with us every trip on LivinLarger out to the flounder spot or wherever Captain Miller takes us. See you in Heaven, With much Love, Kathy Kathy

Maryann & I want to express our sincere condolences to Sue and her family. Dave was one of those guys that you loved being around having a great time. We spend many happy hours together over the years and that was really quality friendship time. I will surely miss those precious moments that we had together laughing over a few brews and scotches. May Dave rest in peace in Gods Heaven Kingdom! He sure will be missed.

Our thoughts and prayers to you Sue and the whole family. It was such a pleasure to meet David when we were in Delaware in April. Brian talked about him often when we talked on the phone. David and Brian are celebrating in heaven right now.

Mayor Dave - I have so many fond memories of our times together. Your heart was so big and full that it showed in everything and everyone you loved. You had an amazing outlook on everything. I remember the first time you met my Mom and Aunt visiting us how you introduced yourself as the Mayor of Bay City. You always told us on Sundays to have a good week at work and would put our trash cans back without having to be asked. We always talked about music and Elvis and all the songs you loved...like Run Around Sue. Every time I hear Need You Now, I will think of my duet partner. You made a wonderful difference in my life and Brian’s and Carlee and Cole’s. I loved how when I laughed really hard, you laughed really hard, and only you and I could understand each other. Rest In Peace, my friend. 💜🇺🇸

Dave, Davey Jones, Mayor, and Boyfriend. You are these and so much more to me. You have touched so many lives in a motivational and inspirational light and I doubt you even realize how much. I will always recall the weekend embraces so warm and strong, and huge smiles when I would call out to you "my boyfriend!" We are all so wondrously grateful to have had you in our lives; not just your adoring family, and your large life-time circle of friends, but also your extended family the BCFs (Bay City Friends). You exemplified living your best life. The innumerable and memorable happy hours, birthday parties, world event chats, cut-up jokes, belly laughs, weekends of fishing (and sometimes catching), just floating on the water with friends, and annual crab feasts. You were always at the center of everything with so much energy and life and fun. Most of us years younger could not keep up with you. I will forever treasure our afternoon together a few weeks ago talking, laughing and reminiscing. You talked with passion of your wonderful Miss Sue who was taking better care of you than anyone could imagine; you called it "a level above expectations." You talked how lucky you are for the wonderful and long life you have had, and even beach trips this summer. I have never known anyone to face cancer with such grace, optimism, dignity and bravery. Never ever did you complain even though I knew you were in pain. Thank you boyfriend, for the memories and many gifts of your friendship. Don't worry, we will all take good care of your treasures; Suzie, Tracy, Jordan and Bobby. Rest in the peace of the lord's arms and know we will be together one day.

Davey, over the last 20 years I have learned a lot from you. Sometimes just observing, sometimes asking ridiculous questions to which your facial expression was hysterical, and sometimes just the two of us having real chats. No matter the topic I could always count on two things; to get a down right real answer an a kiss on the cheek with you saying you’re gonna do great babygirl. To say positivity was your specialty is an understatement. You and aunt Susie Q, always made me feel welcome, always asked “what’s new babygirl” and genuinely wanted to know, and u both taught me so so much about life, love and “letting it roll”. Thank you. You’ve left a huge impression on so many people’s hearts, especially mine. Thank you, I miss you.

In the U.S. Navy, a hero is one who goes above and beyond what is expected of them to get the job done. Sacrificing their time, their talent and their spirit, all the while, protecting those who follow them. In military uniform and out of uniform, Pop was just that Hero to us all! Being a loving husband to Sue, an awesome father to Tracy and a mentor to Jordan. As a fellow Brother in Arms (military) and a gentleman of honor, Pop is a man my family has come to respect, admire and cherish. His presence will be missed, but his spirit will surely be felt living in us all, as we all continue to recall his emotional touch within our hearts. Please accept our condolences for Dave’s passing and know that you’ve been in our prayers throughout this trying time. As God continues to relinquish his peace and presence upon you, He will also give you rest and assurance to know that Pop is in good hands and Sean has his fishing buddy back with him. We love you Lilley family!

Dr. James Fierro lit a candle and writes,
Dave, Was a good man. He was always pleasant and dignified. He never felt sorrow for himself despite his medical problems rather he thought of others first. I enjoyed seeing him, and it was a privilege being his doctor. May he rest in comfort and peace after a life well lived. His memory will live forever for those who had the good fortune to have known him. Dr. James Fierro
