David dearly loved his family and enjoyed spending time with them. No one liked family holidays better than David! His close friends meant the world to him and they were an extremely important part of his life. 

David had an innocence to his soul and he was the last person to say anything negative about anyone. During the time he worked at Kroger here in Newark he truly enjoyed talking to the many people he met there. 

He liked science fiction, outer space, collections of cd’s, comics and books, doing sudoku (he was especially good at doing those math puzzles), and yes, anything chocolate with peanut butter! We are truly going to miss him more than we can say!  

May God be with you, David Honey, all our love. 

He is survived by his mother, Anita L. (Bates) Bevard; sister, Faith (Nadeem Khan) Bevard; brother, Harry Alexander Bevard, Jr.; nephews, Nathan and Ryan Power, and Harrison Alexander Bevard; aunts and uncles, Ralph (Nancy) Bates, Mary (Henry) Anthony, and Dan (Christine) Bates; cousins, Bryan, Kaylee, Debby, Troy, Jeffrey, and Tami, and numerous loved ones on both sides of his family.

He was preceded in death by father, Harry Alexander Bevard, Sr.; paternal grandparents, Edward and Grace Bevard and maternal grandparents, Ralph and Lillian Bates.

Memorial contributions in lieu of flowers may be made to Richard M. Ross Heart Hospital, 452 W. 10th Ave., Columbus, Ohio 43210.
