14 year-old Kimberly Ramirez, a student at the Oliver H. Perry Middle School, was moved to set up a memorial page to David, including a hip hop tribute by fellow student - 15 year-old - Jose Avila. The page has many nice comments by other young people too. Check it out here.

I would like to thank Kimberly for setting up the profile and sharing with the world the impact David left on her along with the rest of us. I have seen the page in Davids memory and it is wonderful,
thank you kimberly.
the young man who wrote and dedicated the song to david left me speechless and yet so moved by the way he expressed himself in showing what my dear friend David meant to him.
I would like to thank them both and again remind everyone that this again shows the angel David was and how seriously he took his work with the youth! They werent just a 9am to 5pm job they were his life and passion....
RIP David
i miss you my friend
Jess
