David Essmann

My son Marcial goes to Haven's. I have not been able to tell Marcial the trouble news. He will be so upset. David was a great person. He was always there for my son. When he need a little push every now and then. He will be so greatly missed.

Mr. Essmann, you were such a great guy who was universally respected by your students, staff, and peers. I learned so much from you in the short time I knew you. I cannot imagine walking into H1avens and not seeing you there. Rest in peace my friend. I will miss you always.

Dave's dedication to his work and the students in his care was exemplary. I am very impressed with the lengths he was willing to go to challenge, motivate, and inspire the students at Havens. You could tell he loved his job and didn't just look at it as a job, but a vocation. He will be remembered fondly for a long time.

My thoughts and prayers are with the Essmann family. He will be deeply missed.

You are all in our thoughts and prayers. Both Jacob and Robert will miss Mr. Essmann very much. As they both would say "he is one of our favorites!" He touched both of my boys lives and I am very happy for the time they got to know him at Havens.
