I miss you so much dad
I'm so sorry to hear of Dave's passing and hope he is remembered well.
Many times he talked to me about family and I know that was always important to him especially when he wanted so many rooms in the house on Keystone. I also remember the many times we met in my office designing that home and him talking to me about my back issues and my options. The house turned out so nice and I'm proud we did it together even saving the little house up front that was really Old Florida. I'm pretty sure I remember his nurse Sharon who was so nice to me during my surgeries so I'm glad he finally got that to work out and be happy. God speed old buddy!! Mike
Wow I am Shocked and saddened. I loved Dave he was a great friend and when I needed to talk he was there always. Always a support always up never down even in tuff times he always had encouragement.
I was not aware of his passing until now I have shed many tears. I was looking forward to reconnecting.
Now ill be praying for yhe repose of his awesome soul. I can see why God wanted him home just a great man one of a kind and always a support a rock a true pillar. Ill miss him massively. Along with his always great words of encouragement and tremendous wisdom he truly was down to earth never looked down on anyone & willing to help. I live you dave and will miss you tons.

Hey dad, it's your oldest son, Jonathan. We're going to celebrate you today with many family and friends.
I have so many memories to share, but today I am remembering you taking me to Taco Bell after my YMCA basketball games. We would break down the game, process it, and I valued your coaching advice. I love you, Dad.
Our hearts pour out to the Hirschauer family during this incredibly difficult time and the loss of Dave. We had the privilege of getting to know Dave during our high school years and were grateful to stay in touch over the years. There was never a shortage of laughter when Dave was around.
It was such a joy to watch him grow into a wonderful father, a caring husband, and a skilled anesthesiologist. He was so proud of his family. Dave will be deeply missed, and the memories of him will never be forgotten.

We had much fun and laughter working together in the operating room. He’s a skilled confident anesthesiologist. He talked me into getting my first epidural shot in my own back and that helped me significantly for a couple years. This was back in 2000 01. Heaven will have a great anesthesiologist and the caring and compassionate human being that he was Blessing and prayers to all his sad family members . he left a wonderful legacy. Sincerely Dr James St. Louis.
You taught me every life lesson. Resilience, ambition, hard work, never give up, love your family, keep your faith and to travel and see the world
