We made a lot with a little. We had a lot of fun with the little money we had. He kept me out of a lot of trouble... he kept me grounded.
— Jose Martinez, childhood friend
Born in Mexico, Jimenez came to the U.S. with his mother and sisters when he was 11 to join his father. Before he went to Iraq, he applied for citizenship. It was granted after his death.

1 memory of David
David, we will never forget you, your smile and charisma will be with us forever. I personally won't forget about the great times we spent together in the "San Fernando Valley" when we were single. From working at Costco in VanNuys for so many years, to going out together with Ubaldo, Lizette, Sarah, Monica and so many other great friends we had while living in the valley. I wish your family the very best in moving forward and our prayers are with you and your entire family.
Miss you dearly,
Manny Gonzalez
