Words cannot express the depth of our sadness for the loss of our bright, intelligent, funny, loving, caring David. The ICU team will likely monitor David overnight for any signs of improvement, but the Heiner and Edgley families are in the process of saying our goodbyes.

Update
We are deeply saddened to report that the neurologist's assessment of brain function was not favorable. It appears that the time David was without oxygen caused a cascade of reactions that has culminated in swelling and irreversible loss of function in his brain. Our expectation is that he cannot survive with the amount of damage done to his brain.

To the Heiner family,
I am still praying for a miracle. I know David is a fighter and he will not leave without giving them a fight to stay. David had a tremendous impact on my life and I will cherish the times that I spent with him on HASS council and many hours spent in the Quadside Cafe during the Fall 07 semester. He opened my eyes to wonderful things and showed me what it really meant to love just by the way he cherished his family and Erin. I lend my helping hand, my open heart, and praying hands to your family if you need anything.
With Sincere Appreciation and Humble Sadness,

Please know that David and your family will be in our thoughts and prayers. May the spirit of our Heavenly Father be with you, comfort and strengthen you during this difficult time.
Love, Al & Carole Hayes
Dr.Heiner and Family,
We were so sad to hear that David had not improved. We had prayed that the miracle would continue and he would come back to all of you as he once was,which is what we know you would want.Having a child so close to his age, makes this so close to our hearts, for just as he was becoming the man you hoped he would, he is suddenly taken from you. We know you will have to make some heart-wrenching decisions that will be more difficult than any you have ever faced. We pray for God to give all of you strength and guidance as only He can. All our thoughts,love and prayers are with each of you. Even though you have not been part of your new hospital family very long we hope you realize you are among those that love and care about your entire family.
Gail(OB Dept. Hugh Chatham) and Sandy Poplin
