David’s memory will always have a special place in my heart. We grew up together in our core group of friends . We played together, laughed together, and got in trouble together. We didn’t always see eye to eye, but in the end always had each other’s back. We were family, and always ready for a good game of “Risk” or just a night on the town. We also shared the love of Science and Engineering, got our Purdue degrees, and even got to work together for a while. As we grew older, family became center stage but we were still able to be a part in each other’s lives and still get together for all the special occasions! My heart goes out to all those that loved David as I did. Today we share our sorrow, but also celebrate his life and victory over death. God Bless You My Friend!

I was a friend of David when we were growing up in Michigan City. The thing we shared most as boys was our love for sports. No matter what sport was in season we were playing it. I remember one time being at Dave's house and it being freezing outside, but we were still playing basketball. We became reacquainted through Facebook, as I had moved with my family to Baltimore in 1974. I could tell how proud he was of his sons and his grandchildren. I enjoyed seeing pics from his and Rhonda's wedding. My heart goes out to Rhonda and the entire family -- especially Lance and Tyler. You all are in my thoughts and prayers. I am grateful for the memory of my friend David Prybylla when we were growing up. Enjoy heaven my friend (John 14:1-6)!

So sorry for your loss.

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

So sorry for your loss.
