Just wanted to let everyone know that David Williams, of the ARK Lawn Service had a heart attack and passed away this morning. I never saw David without a smile on his face and never heard him say an unkind word. He has worked tirelessly to keep Springfield clean and his enthusiasm was contagious. He will be greatly missed.

Yes, he will be missed. He's been awesome for this neighborhood. My thoughts & prayers go out to his family. I agree, I've never seen him without a smile and a wave.

He was a very kind man who helped several people by providing them with a steady job in his business. He had a great "can do" attitude and was always willing to help where he could. Please let us know service details when you hear them.

It will be odd to not have David frequently drive by and wave or just stop by to see how the yard is coming along. He removed some dead trees and stumps for us shortly after we moved to the neighborhood - had a great group of guys helping him then and again at neighborhood cleanups. His well-known friendly face in the neighborhood will be missed.

That smile, I hope he knew how the neighborhood felt about him.  It is terribly sad.
