DAVID R. JR. Age 40, a resident of Albuquerque for 34 years, passed away Friday, December 2, 2011 ending his 40 year struggle with Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy. He is survived by his devoted mother, Deborah Buchhorn; sister, Candice Sparks of Albuquerque, NM; other family, friends and his nursing staff.
