Mom,dad,Vic,Shirley and families. David was a fun loving, sweet man who will always be my big brother. He will be missed but leaves a legacy of people who loved him and on whom he left his mark. David I will miss you. June
We were naughty when we were kids and pushed our Mom to the limit. You taught me to ride motorcycles but I couldn't get the horses to like you. We grew-up and created our own lives but we never got too far apart. You left me way too soon but I will always see you in the swaying leaves of the trees, the bend of the grass, floating snowflakes and hear your laugh in the wind. I Love You and Miss You. Your little sister.
My Father was the best. He would do anything and everything to help me and my children. He will be sadly missed but never forgotten. He will always be thought of, in my heart, and much loved .
Shirley, Lynette, Duane and the rest of David's family: I just wanted to express my sympathy to you all. From what you all shared, I could tell David was a wonderful man. Although I only met you briefly over two nights, it was a pleasure getting to know all of you and to take care of David. He was blessed to have you all by his side. You are a wonderful family. You are in my thoughts and prayers.
Well what can I say about David! What a nut. We sure spent alot of Halloween and Holiday parties together "back in the day"! I know your close knit family will miss you terribly. Shirley and kids: God bless and I hope you find comfort somehow in your loss. Vicki,"Vic": You know that I know the loss. I am thinking about you alot. You are a very strong woman. But friends are good at this time. Take care and know how great Dave was and I will always remember him. ~Dawn

Shirley, Our thoughts and prayers are with you at this time of loss. May God and your friends draw close to you and your family to comfort you.
David you were our pride and joy, altho you scared the heck out of your Mom with your Motorcycle Racing. I had to be there every time to watch you and cheer you on. And the first time you went Deer hunting and fell asleep and woke up and a buck was looking you in the eyes, you said it was so close you could see its eye lashes. You shot in the air and said you were never going to hunt again. Your Dad and I just chuckled, we knew hunting was in your system and you certianly made up for the one that got away in years after that. When ever Dad needed any help with anything he could depend on you to be there. We have such wonderful memories, we love you so much and hope to be reunited in Heaven with you. A MOM AND DAD HOLD THEIR CHILDREN'S HANDS FOR AWHILE AND THEIR HEART'S FOREVER. Gladys and Bob Bazzett

I'm a step-grandson of Julius Juda Bazzett (1883-1965) of Trufant & Mary Caroline (Ellis) Bazzett (1886-1967) (both were last in Reed City); Julius Juda Bazzett parents were William Henry Bazzett (1846-1923) of PA & Mary Etta (Wells) Bazzett (1855-1925) of Detroit.
