What glowing and eloquently spoken tributes from David's friends. A star pupil and special human being. RIP David. My condolences to his family and friends.
rest in peace man as his class mate i can confirm that this boy was a child of god and his soul is resting peacefully
I hope you recover as Shea Martin said. You guys are so brilliant. Keep fighting. May the following words from me, comfort you: An angel was among you; he was not here to stay, just to spur you on to Christ and show you the way. I was wondering why a young guy died so cruelly, then I remembered Christ died that way. He just walked into a classroom and said good morning; I just want to tell you Jesus loves you, serve Christ, and pray.... people might say he's weird and 'out there, mentally.' Was he?
David without Question left an Indelible Mark on all the Lives he touched and by extension the wider public.
Just listening how the Wolmer's Family spoke, about the Character and Sheer Spirit of this Young man, has given me an Inner Joy and Peace...
Our Dear God is never unfaithful to forget the Life of Faith and Integrity that David embodied.
May His Family and by Extension School and Church Community Find Comfort from the Scriptures...
David was a true servant leader who reverenced God. May his soul rest in peace and may many other young men follow his example.
My sincere condolences to the minnot family and the wolmers school family may his soul rest in peace truly happy to no he accept the Lord Jesus christ as his savior rest in peace David
Amen

Big up Wolmers High School , you are raising future leaders . Every single student spoke eloquently. Rest in Peace King David . May your memories live on and may your family and friends find comfort to carry on. .
An Angel on earth..
Came by assignment, did his bidding , finish his course...short but lasting..May his soul rest in peace..
That must be the devil angel....👿
I said the same thing, fellow servant of Christ..shake my hand: An angel was among you; he was not here to stay, just to spur you on to Christ and show you the way. I was wondering why a young guy died so cruelly, then I remember Christ died that way. He just walked into a classroom and said good morning; I just want to tell you to serve Christ.... people might say he's weird and 'out there, mentally.' Was he?
@@geraldrhule5945 I think I know what yuh mean but remember Christ died cruelly: An angel was among you; he was not here to stay, just to spur you on to Christ and show you the way. I was wondering why a young guy died so cruelly, then I remember Christ died that way. He just walked into a classroom and said good morning; I just want to tell you to serve Christ.... people might say he's weird and 'out there, mentally.' Was he?
I think i miss understand you.....
I think that you mean an angel come for him and take his life.....
But you say he was an angel....but if he was why did an angel die...angel can't die.
He die untimely....not a good look
@@geraldrhule5945 I'll research the angel can't die stuff but this young man had a special mission. I say angel, could be servant or Christ may say another name. Christ died; He was a servant. What would you call him? I believe Satan is an angel of darkness and he will die, right? Let's research and find out.
Omg, Listening to all those who spoke about him I cried I felt it so much u can see that he was kind, respected, intelligent and would achieved great in his education my condolences to family relatives friends Rip.
My sincere condolences his friends and families.
My condolences to his family. May they be comforted ....blessed are those that mourn for they shall be comforted, knowing that he was a true child of God. R.I. P. Child of God.
Condolences to his family and friends. You can hear the pain in his friends voices. You have left a wonderful legacy David.
Those boys are so eloquent and articulate. So sorry for the loss of their friend
I beseech all the students , teachers , staff , parents , families and friends to follow the example of David minot, give your life to the Lord Jesus Christ before its too late
My deepest condolences to the whole family of that young man!!! legends never die
Rest In Peace David. 🙏🇯🇲 You can see The pleasantness in his smile. My sense of discernment is telling me that this young man was a special soul. Stay strong family and friends. God is in control. I am happy that David got that extra slushy.
When friends and adults who knew him, can speak so highly of him, it makes some of us wished we had known him. And although he died under such tragic circumstances, he nonetheless left his mark as a well-loved and respected young man. Sleep little David, take your rest. You ran your race, you kept your faith, and now others must take of the torch you have laid down. My heart weeps for his loved one.
Wonderful
He's an Angel and God took him back. Rip baby boy😭
Took him back where?
Listen when a person dies they remain in the grave until the second coming of Jesus Christ there and then you will receive your reward whether eternal life or eternal damnation.
Oh my God, I am in tears, but I leave everything to God. Who am I to say what is or should have been.... Jesus
Condolences to hisfamily and friends 😢 he as run his race, fulfil God's purpose.walk good my son
Oh my. This is so sad. So many questions but God knows best. He has impacted so many lives in such a short time. I pray that the Lord comfort the family.

The most sincere condolences to his family and friends, with such an outstanding personality you can't have to understand how these people are feeling. An angel he is. R.I.P son.
That was the most beautiful thing he could have done, giving his life to the Lord.. goes to show time waits on no man, we dont know when we’ll exit this earth, so it’s best, to give your life to the Lord, even from a young age as David did, he’s also named after a famous bible character… sleep on my brother, sleep and take your rest
My deepest condolences to his family..
Weeping may endure for a time but Joy cometh in the morning.
What a thing to have just after Founder's Day. David, RIP.

My deepest sympathy goes out to the family ,school family and friends of David, but what we need to remember as parents that our Children doesn't belongs to us, they were loan to us, pray for all in such a time as this, Sleep in your Saviour's arm David. Ur work on earth is done. The family and friends of David need to take a page out of David's book, and heed to the call of Christ.

My heart move my heart bleeds why the good ones always go like this is it the Almighty took him before he gets corropt🙏ed this happens at times such a handsome young man JESUS rest his soul mother i cant tell u i know how u feel but my heart goes out to u and ur family JESUS took him before he got contaminated🙏
My friends, do not be disheartened! Jesus came on earth, completed his mission in a short time and left. He too had friends and they missed him, even though some denied him. Like Jesus, David came completed his mission and had to go.
Death is inevitable. Jesus was the only perfect man and he was killed. The most important thing is that David lived for Christ. The fact that adults and children can testify so good about him, shows that he left a legacy; an example for even people who have not met him. It's rare to see 16 year olds living this way and trying to encourage others positively. Guys continue to pray and encourage each other. May God hug you in comfort as you grieve for your friend and family!🤲🙏
I see a light at the tunnel for ja just listening to these young men speak good job women's team of teachers
O my god.good peole never lives long.his purposes on earth is cut short.but god knows best.rest in your saviour arm David

Condolences to his family. I believe Jamaican Schools should make sure All Kids know how to Swim. Far too many kids drown when it can easily be prevented. We are surrounded by Water so please someone make sure this terrible event is not repeated again and again.
