David always made me feel like the smartest person in the room when I visited with him at the capitol. He honored me with his undivided attention and he always left me feeling better than when I walked in. We loved to talk baseball, and transportation, and Broken Arrow. His contribution was so much more real and personal than any pending policy. I will truly miss him.
Shelley, Abigail, & Hannah, We are so very sorry for your loss! Jeff and I remember the first time we met both you and David, it was Halloween 1998. We had just moved in to our home and you both came over to introduce yourselves…none of us could believe that we had the same last name, Brumbaugh! ?? David was always so kind to us and both Jacob and Madeline enjoyed working on his campaign. They both still talk about the night that Jacob drove his car through the neighborhoods while Madeline threw flyers from the car onto peoples driveways…they were excited to be out in the middle of the night without their parents! I am so glad that they have these memories. If you or the girls ever need anything please don't hesitate to call Jeff or I.Jeff, Lisa, Jacob, & Madeline Brumbaugh

Thank you Mark! What a beautiful, meaningful tribute to David!
What a blessing it has been to get to know Representative Brumbaugh and his beautiful family. He was an exceptional man who lived an exemplary life. And, he left behind an enduring legacy of service . . . to God, to our country, to our state, and to our community. He will be greatly missed. And, his influence and impact in the lives of those of us who knew him and loved him will never be forgotten.
David and I came to know each other just a few years ago. No matter what was going on, he found a way to stroll by my desk on the floor, and would often change his course when he saw me out and about. Invariably, he checked to see how I was doing, he offered some encouragement over events of the day, and then he told me how great it was that I was here. He rarely spoke of himself, and when he did, he quickly moved on to mention his good fortune in life, in his faith, in his marriage to Shelly, and his love for his daughters. He truly lived the 6 critical life messages: I believe in you, I trust you, I know you can handle it, you are listened to, you are cared for, you are very important to me. The shock of his passing will eventually fade, but we wonâ??t forget how he blessed our lives. And we know he is peacefully, joyfully, present with Our Heavenly Father, and all the angels and saints, while he awaits reunification with his loved ones and friends. Linda and I will keep the entire Brumbaugh family in our prayers. Mark Lepak
I had the honor of knowing David and working with him, first as my State Representative, then as my cherished friend. His deep understanding and wisdom were a great blessing to the state of Oklahoma. His genuine Christian testimony will effect many lives for years to come. I will miss him greatly. – Linda Murphy
I have watched David for a number of years as a friend and now legislator. Our offices are in the same building in Broken Arrow. I only saw David get aggravated one time and it was completely appropriate. Most of the time he was the quite voice in the middle of the storm. The one time David did get aggravated it was in protection of others against lies being told by another individual. His passion for our country and for this great state were undeniable! David's love for Jesus and his family were the only things he held above his service to others. David you are already missed on the house floor. I miss seeing you slide quietly into a seat to whisper to another legislature a simple thought to ponder about a bill. Those whispers were powerful because you were loved. I also miss your comments and personality in Caucus meetings as you led them. We will see each other again my friend and that will be a great day! – Kevin McDugle
