I was saddened to read about Dave's passing. I haven't seen any of the family since the 70's, but I remember Dave as a young man, always friendly, with a positive outlook on life. I'm sure he made many friends throughout his lifetime and built special memories with his family.

We are devastated by the loss of David. We lived next door to the Bacon's in Highland for years. We want to thank David for being such a good neighbor. We want to thank David for his service in Vietnam. We want to thank David for the excitement he brought to the neighborhood with the sound of his motorcycle roaring down the street. We always wanted to be as cool as him. Our Dad still tells the story of eating at Aurelio's Pizza in Dyer years after David moved from the neighborhood and having an intimidating gang of bikers approach him with one extending his hand. It was David saying, How are you Art? David was always a nice and friendly man. May he rest in peace and may his family heal from his loss. With our prayers and sympathy, The Calvin Family - Art, Irene, Chris, Elaine, Carin, and Ted.

We are very sorry for your loss. I worked with Dave for 16yrs. He was a great guy, always shared a laugh & had a smile on his face. He will be greatly missed my many. Sincerely, Larry & Mary Waddell & family

Terry and I are so very sad to hear of Daves passing. Our heartfelt wishes and prayers go out to all the family. Sincerely, Sandy and Terry Carpenter

Really the only words that come to my mind when I think of Dave, were three that I heard so often from him weather it be from the early days of knowing him and the dumb stuff I did when I was drinking at the parties we attended,or till recent at the many bike shows I attended and helped Dave judge, he had only three words for me, DAMN IT JUNIOR, I tortured this fine man and he would yell that and just smile, because he knew I was just doing it out of fun, I will truly miss my very good friend. Dave was a very good teacher of the finer things of being a biker, and an enthusiest, I am very saddened by this loss! I like this one Dave, your buddie always Junior

Peace of mind is a call away. We’re here when you need us most.

There are no words to express the loss we feel. Thirty plus years of friendship & good times. From watching our kids grow up together to taking walks in the woods. And always jumping with Daves chihuahua sound nipping at my heels. He was a mentor and best friend. The stories and memories we have of Dave will live on forever! Our thoughts and prayers are with the entire Bacon family. God Bless.

some of my best childhood memories are of dave scaring the heck out of dad with his snakes, and helping him move when he left 215th street. he's one of the reasons i ride today. love and condolences to his family. dave is truly riding free now.

Patti, It has been many years since I was horse back riding and sitting by the bon fire at your house. Dave was a kind & good man and one that cared about others.

Patti, what to say at a time like this? You know how I feel about both you & Dave. Hard to believe he's not with us any longer. I am so glad he came to Omaha last winter and spent a very good time with us, we missed you tho. Take it one day at a time, appreciate what you do have and keep praying for Dave. I imagine the Lord is having a time keeping up with Dave and all the visiting he's doing. I miss him and wish we were still neighbors to help you out. I will be seeing you at Thanksgiving. Blessing & Love to you & the kids PS Chris' guest book is still here with Geisons too

Many of my earliest childhood memories include Dave. He was our neighbor in Dyer. Almost every weekend bikes would line the street. My brothers and I enjoyed playing with the snakes, spiders and pirannahs he kept as pets. Throughout my life anytime I have heard anyone bad mouth a biker, I speak up right away and say a person may be good or bad, you can't judge them by how they get around. Dave taught many many lessons I carry with me today. He was a good man and a great role model for three growing boys. Patti and family my thoughts and prayers are with you during this difficult time. You are in our prayers as Dave will be. Peace be with you...

Our thoughts and prayers are with you. My father Rhemus Butch Odom Jr were long time friends along with Rhemus and Ruth Odom Sr. We are very sorry for your lose.

Our thoughts and prayers are with the Bacon Family, we are deeply saddened of your loss. Dave is a great friend, he will be truly missed.

Dear Patti and Family....We are so saddened by the news of Dave's passing. We take comfort in KNOWING he is with the Lord RIDING the streets of Gold in the Heavenly Kingdom. Once Dave stepped into your life, he left a footprint that will remain forever. We will miss him dearly.

Virgina and family I'm so sorry for the loss of your son. I remember growing up with him and him coming over to your home in highland. He will be grately missed.

MY THOUGHTS AND PRAYERS ARE WITH THE FAMILY AND FRIENDS OF DAVE'S. MY FIRST TIME MEETING DAVE WAS AT THE ULTIMATE BIKE SHOW 13 YEARS AGO. DAVE WAS AN INSPIRATION TO ALL BIKE OWNERS IN HIS BIKE SHOW JUDGING AND THE FRIENDSHIP HE SHOWED TO ALL. THE LAST TIME I SAW DAVE WAS IN JUNE AT THE ULTIMATE BIKE SHOW, DOING WHAT HE DID SO WELL, JUDGING BIKES.. DAVE WILL BE GREATLY MISSED BY A.B.A.T.E. AND ALL OF IT'S MEMBERS. R.I.P.DAVE I AM SURE THERE WILL BE MANY BIKE SHOWS TO JUDGE IN HEAVEN. GOD BLESS YOUR WIFE, PATTY, YOUR CHILDREN AND GRANDCHILDREN THRU THIS MOST DIFFICULT TIME.

Words cannot express how deeply we feel this loss. Our hearts go out to Patti and the family. What can be said about Dave? He was a character to say the least, and I mean that in a good way! It was always an adventure when Dave was involved, and there was always a good time! There will always be a hole in our hearts, and room for his memory. God's Peace.

Please accept our deepest condolences for your family's loss.
