Condolence: As a 5th-grade teacher of Danielle and Christopher, I met Dave through conferences and school-related activities. It was most clear the value he held about doing one's best in school, and having fun as well. I saw these qualities in his kids as they proved themselves academically and added delight to the classroom atmosphere with their smiles and humor! I've always admired the loving, respectful relationship the Kopydlowski's showed to one another! My most sincere sympathy to all of David's loved ones. Becky Brooks

Condolence: Dave, It seems like yesterday when we first met during OCS while being paired up at Quantico. Sharing good times and bad you always had a smile and a great attitude, which was a motivation to all of us who knew you. In fact, even now while thinking of our time together makes me smile. Many things in life are not fair and your time being cut short is one of them. With our conversations and family updates it was easy to see how much you were looking forward to becoming a grandfather. Times like this make it difficult to justify your time being cut short but, you fought a tough fight and now it is your time to rest. I would like to express my condolences to Danielle and Christopher and the rest of your family. Rest in peace friend, “friends eternal”. Semper Fi, Bernie Kallelis

Condolence: To all who loved Dave, Fred and I are honored that we were his neighbor for 13 years in Blaine. He was very special, kind man. We are thankful for his military service to our country. May the Lord comfort you with His peace as you grieve your loss. We will always cherish our memories with Dave on 118th in Blaine.

Condolence: Paul, Susie, Auntie Christy,Danielle and Christopher, You are all in my prayers. Dave was such a wonderful man and I feel honored to have known him. I am sorry I will not be able to make the trip to his services, but please know that I will be there in spirit. Love to you all! Tina
