David's mother was vacationing with her two younger daughters when word came that David had been attacked by a shark while visiting his father's home in Virginia Beach.
David died early Sunday morning, just days before he was to start work as a crossing guard, his second year in Pee Wee football and his fifth grade classes at Richmond, Va.'s Longan Elementary School.
He was the first person killed by a shark in the United States the year.

A man was seriously injured in an accident in Pearisburg early this morning. Authorities say the driver, 40-year old Johnson Hickenbottom Junior of Christiansburg, was traveling on Narrows Road at Newberry Ford around 4 o'clock.
He rounded the curve on the wrong side of the road ... ran off the right shoulder ... went airborne, crashed through a trailer, then went another one-hundred feet before stopping. Two people were in the trailer, but neither person was injured.
Hickenbottom sustained serious injuries and was taken to the hospital. One of his passengers was treated and released. The other was not injured. Authorities say alcohol and speed contributed to the accident.
