I am just finding out about David's passing. An Air Force friend put me in touch with David for a ring for my then Fiancé. 20 years later and my wife has passed away and I'm looking for Davids help for a new special person and find out he's in heaven with my dear late wife. Rest in peace David. You were a great help when I really wanted to take such an important leap in life. Prayers for you and your family.

I'm so sorry to hear of David's passing. I only knew him for a few years during the 90's, but he was an inspiration for me. At the time, I was working at Blockbuster Video there on Circle Drive @ Galley in Colorado Springs. He was a very regular customer there. I always enjoyed hanging out and chatting movies with him. We would hang out by the return box for whatever hot movie he was waiting for. He was always in the best of moods! I admired his outgoing personality and his positive outlook on life and considered him a role model. He was also very helpful in getting me a ring when I proposed to my wife. He was so generous. It was a bit more than I could afford, but he gave it to me and just asked that I pay what I could over time. No contract, just a handshake. He just wanted to make sure that I was happy and that my wife was happy. He truly had a caring soul.

God Bless you and keep you David. You were a kind soul. You took a lot of time and patience to teach me about diamonds when you sold me my engagement ring. Your trust, passion, and compassion were unmatched. I would only go to Trigem for jewelry but found the kindness of David and Randy ... inspirational.

God Bless you and your family.

David was a dear friend to many cadets, and we ALL knew where to buy our engagement rings (with diamonds cut in Israel!) at TriGem Intl. Saddened to hear of this loss when I saw today the store closed, I just knew. He'd been sick for years, but now has a new body in heaven. He attended our wedding and also led many to Christ. Evangelist Jeweler David Zallar, well done good and faithful servant.

We were so sorry to hear of this. Great memories of all the Zallars growing up. Of course, David helped me pick the most amazing diamond for my wife when I got out of the military. Our families thoughts and prayers are with you all.

David genuinely cared for everyone he met. If you needed help, advice or just someone to talk to, he was there for you. He was a great example of what a person should be. The last text he sent me was a bible verse and some words of encouragement. I will never forget the bond that we had and I will forever miss him

David was not only a neighbor and a fellow church friend, he was the reason I was able to foster and adopt through Kids Crossing. I will forever be grateful for that. Although we hadn't talked in years, I am certain the loss of him will affect many going forward. He is surely dancing on the clouds giving praise to our Lord. My condolences to all of the family.

Dave has been a wonderful friend since my Jr year at USAFA, 1989.
He did the rings for both my wife and I in 1990. We have stayed in touch over the years but sadly i have not seen him in many years.
He was one of the nicest and most sincere people you could ever spend time with no matter what the reason.
My condolences to the family and the community as we have all lost a great man. If you knew him, you agree. If you did not, you have missed out.
Sad start to 2019.

David, you were so much more than words could describe. You were good to everyone. You lead so many people to our Lord. I know you will have a just place in heaven. You are already missed by many. Gone but not Forgotten!! Randy and Paula

Dave was such a great friend for over 35 years. We always stayed in touch no matter where I lived. Every time I returned to the Springs I was sure to drop in for a visit. Most recently this past October. I am so thankful to have experienced your loving friendship. Thank you for your encouragement to renew my faith, it has worked. Until we meet again my friend. Love and prayers,

I was sorry to hear about this. Dave was a great guy. He made my wife's engagement and wedding ring from my crazy hand sketch because I wanted something unique. He did a marvelous job. Blessings on his family and his soul.

David was a great man, he really took care of the cadets at the Air Force Academy. Many of us who were looking to get married turned to him to get us an engagement ring for our brides-to-be. Sharon and I were sorry to hear of his passing, and we'll keep the family in our prayers. On behalf of USAFA Class of 1988, I salute you!
