Dave you will be greatly missed... You always had something to say that would get a laugh out of anyone!! It will not be the same without you here in Sour Lake. I'm very grateful to have known you may you Rest In Peace my friend!!!

David was a great friend to my Dad .... Robert Wedgeworth and I bet they are having a great talk about now! He was a icon in Sour Lake for sure and will be missed. Rae

My sincere condolences to David's family. He was definitely an icon of Sour Lake and will be missed.

Our thoughts and prayers are with you all. David lived his life well and made a huge contribution to our community for many years. He will really be missed.

And family

I would always get a phone call at home from the "Easter Bunny" or "Santa Claus" after getting my "holiday haircut". David aka Easter Bunny or Santa Claus always made the holidays special for me! What an icon in the Sour Lake community. He will be missed.

Amazing man who always had a smile and a great story. I remember when he gave my little brother his first hair cut, as I am sure so many of the kids in and around Sour Lake do.

Mike, I am so sorry for your loss my old friend. Your father was an amazing man who touched so many lives. Heaven got one of the good ones. Your family is in my prayers.

Ain't gonna say anything different than what I always said when I left. See Ya, Dave!

As I have walked through this life I have often said with pride, do you know David Payne? Most people would say *doesnt everyone* I would laugh and say well David is my Cousin. I would always say it with pride because I knew David you were a respected man maybe not of a HUGE city but a small town that you were very proud to be a part of. I cannot ever remember going into the Barber Shop that you did not stop and take the time to talk to me. Even when I was a small child. I dont think people realize how important it is to just talk to kids like they are humans but you did. I know you will never be forgotten. Everyone will always have the memories of David Payne and the Barber Shop. So as I end this I would like to say thank you David for never brushing me off when I came by the shop. Thank you for listening to me. Thank you for that one and only David Payne smile. I know you are in heaven so when you see my Daddy and my Brother give them a hug for me. You will truly be missed so until we meet again, love to you always. Carla

So sorry to hear about David. He was a good fiend for many years. Our prayers are with all of you. May God bless and keep you during this time.
