Honoring David John Arbogast III

Statement from David's father:

Dear friends, family, and compassionate supporters,

It is with unbearable sorrow that we share the heartbreaking loss of my beloved son, David John Arbogast III, who was tragically shot and killed at just 27 years old in Phillipsburg, MO. David was a truly good person, a kind, generous soul whose bright spirit left a lasting mark on everyone he met.

David had a zest for life that was contagious. He loved listening to music, riding his bike, and simply hanging out with those he cared about. Those moments spent with him, laughing, sharing stories, or just enjoying his company were so special and will forever be cherished. He had a big heart and a genuine passion for helping others, always ready to lend a hand or offer a kind word to anyone in need.

The sudden loss of David has left our family shattered, and we are struggling to cope with this unimaginable grief. I am reaching out for your support to help cover the costs of his memorial services, funeral expenses, and other unexpected needs. Your generosity will help us honor David’s beautiful life and the incredible person he was.

Every donation, no matter the size, will mean the world to our family during this heartbreaking time. If you’re unable to contribute, please keep David in your thoughts, share this campaign, or send us your prayers and kind words; they mean more than you know.

Thank you for helping us celebrate David’s life and keep his memory alive. His love, kindness, and joyful spirit will live on in our hearts forever.

With heartfelt gratitude,

David Arbogast II and Family
