CletusBodeen · 03-07-2023, 10:26 AM

I will be there. David is a true testament to holding onto faith.
When I first joined many moons ago he walked me through resizing a picture for an avatar photo. He was one of the best ever.

MarlinMears · 03-07-2023, 11:17 AM

David was a great man and spread his knowledge and love everywhere he went. Prayers continue and will be think of him and all in attendance on Saturday. I am sorry that I can’t make it.

David will be missed, but always remembered within TBH

David, take photos for us on what Heaven looks like, as we know you are there

Gumbo Man · 03-07-2023, 07:13 PM

Sorry I had missed this. Rip Mr. David. Prayers up for Mindy and family.

I can't make the service but I can definitely take the time to stop and be part this way.

Bill M · 03-11-2023, 04:48 PM

I hope the link worked for folks but it didn't for me. I'm fairly tech savvy but couldn't find it.

Mindy, I hope the service was something that gave you and family comfort and one that would have humbled David as he always was. Prayers and blessings.

Fishndude · 03-11-2023, 04:55 PM

The service was perfect.

Casey · 03-11-2023, 05:22 PM

It was nice to see this community come out to support Mindy and the family, and honor David. It was a beautiful service.

WCB · 03-11-2023, 05:45 PM

Great service honoring David and supporting Mindy and the family. Was good to see so many TBHers in attendance.

Texas Grown · 03-11-2023, 07:02 PM

Wonderful service and hymns!

Same. I wouldn’t have expected anything else.

Legdog · 03-12-2023, 08:59 AM

Thank you Shane and Randy for your powerful eulogies.

It’s difficult to honor a great man properly and you both brought words of great comfort in a time of deep sorrow.

Everyone who spoke was amazing, but it was especially nice to memorialize an avid Bowhunter/photographer/family man through the eyes of fellow outdoorsmen.

Respect

Mindy, you are amazing and loved. Please lean on this community without hesitation as you feel the need. I’m confident you will.

We are here for you.

RascalArms · 03-12-2023, 10:23 AM

I had plans to attend the service but developed a bug this week and didn't want to expose others to it. I watched the recording of the service last night and was moved to tears. Randy and Shane, and all the others, did a great job eulogizing David.
The overwhelming theme was how David was such a kind and gentle soul. Mild mannered, calm and always smiling is how I knew David. What moved me is how he faced his debilitating illness, never changing or losing faith he would beat it, even when his body weakened in the end.
What a strong testament to his character. A character that many of us here in his TBH family already knew. David Harkins was an integral part of this group and always had a huge smile for anyone he met. That's how I will choose to remember my friend.
Mindy, my prayers for you now and always. I can't imagine the grief. May God grant you eventual peace in the way that only He can.

It was a great service for a great man.

Shane · 03-13-2023, 11:57 AM

It was great to see so many good folks turn out for David and Mindy. They just don't make 'em any better than those two. What a huge loss to lose David. We're gonna miss him.

Smart · 03-13-2023, 02:33 PM

Was not able to attend the service but did watch the Vimeo online and was also brought to tears as well with all the great pics, music and kind words said about David. Excellent job Shane and Randy representing TBH and David well. God Bless him and Mindy.....The world needs more David Harkins.

WCB · 03-13-2023, 05:57 PM

To quote another good one.

Lotta good folks around here.

Praying for the family!

IowaHunter · 03-19-2023, 07:23 AM

What a terrific service! David loved you, his family, his friends, and Jesus.

Those photos of life were incredible and it was evident he adored you Mindy. He’s now keeping watch over the family just like he did on earth.

It was wonderful to see Mindy at Bownanza carrying on the legend!!!

Love you Mindy Sue!!!❤️

Rockin M · 03-21-2023, 07:13 PM

Forgive me for the tardiness of my thank you. Thank you for loving David. Thank you for loving me. Thank you for loving us. An interesting fact is that besides David, TBH was present on our very first date. Billy Gardner (aka huntmaster) was in Rockwall at The Harbor when David and I were on the wait list at Gloria's on our very first date. I figured out real quick that TBH was important. So glad that I knew then that y'all were a blessing. Thank you.

Goldeneagle · 03-22-2023, 09:37 AM

I'm so sorry I could not attend. David was well loved by all that know him. It was nice to meet you at Bownanza Mindy.

Meatcutter · 03-23-2023, 05:57 PM
