David was a loyal friend and dedicated to his community.  Cheerful in all weathers, his pleasant laughter was genuine.  A Vietnam Veteran, David served his country honorably as an outstanding Marine.  Semper Fi.

The legacy David leaves behind will forever epitomize the integrity and good character that is David L. Wallace.

The Wallace family would like to extend a special thanks to Dr. Beary, Dr. Cox, Dr. Chilappa, Dr. Muther, Dr. Alford, Dr. Weisburg and Dr. Alshami; the ICU nurses Tyler, Gail, Parker, Allison, Loretta, Brooklyn and Kelsey, and all of the ICU staff at Research Medical Center.  These professionals provided extraordinary care and support during David's extended illness.
