news." i'm jericka duncan. residents in the town of davis, california, are still mourning the loss of three of their neighbors. they were killing in a stabbing spree this past spring. the memorial for one man, david, draws visitors daily. he dedicated his life to studying and teaching compassion. >> there is this bench in downtown davis, california, hardly recognizable under the flowers and remembrances for a man who often stood here or sat here and asked a pretty simple yet intriguing question. >> and the question what, what is compassion? >> reporter: jerry pays was at first taken aback by being asked that on a street corner by a complete stranger. >> you think he's looking for the dictionary term or he's looking for a definition. >> one of the most common concepts and at the core of compassion is to make sure that it is extended. >> reporter: day after day,
3:42 am
month after month, for 14 years, to anyone who passed by, david broug would ask, what is compassion? >> decided to spend a significant amount of time and energy directed towards selflessness for the rest of my life. that was june 3rd, 2009. >> he was actively holding me accountable to be a compassionate mayor. >> reporter: rob davis was the mayor here from 2016 to 2018. >> i wanted you to know david made a huge impact on this town. >> why did you choose him to swear you in as mayor? >> i chose him because i wanted to reinforce the idea that the values that were guiding me were the values of healing and reconciliation within our community. >> stand at the corner of c and third, pen and notepad, and i ask people to share their written concept of the word compassion. >> reporter: and they did. more than 11,000 people shared their thoughts in his notebooks.
3:43 am
>> that is page after page after page, just one year filled up a whole book of people's reflections on that. it was the key question that was >> this is his notebook.forward- >> reporter: i found one of the notebooks at what as become known as the compassion bench, built and paid for by the community that embraced him. in davis, he was a street therapist. they called him the compassion guy. but one day in april, this gentle man met a violent end. he was stabbed to death, a victim of an alleged stabbing spree that left a shocked city in grief. >> we do not leave this place with a memorial in mind, but we leave this place with a commitment to act in the ways that david would have wanted us to act. >> reporter: for the 400 people who came out to see him, they were touched by that. they knew that he had brought to this community important questions. >> reporter: and the people of davis faced another question.
3:44 am
how are we going to respond to this tragedy? well, the answer came from broug himself, through his sister, maria broug. >> the message that he left for me was in 2016. i had forgotten it. "if i am ever harmed and unable to speak for myself, forgive the perpetrator and help others forgive that person." >> yeah, it's classic david, right? you need to forgive them. he wanted the opportunity for relationships to be restored. >> reporter: david broug reached that way of thinking the hard way. >> he went through a pretty dark period in his life. our mom passed away in 1997. my dad asked him to come back home and take care of him. our family life was very difficult. and my dad was physically and emotionally abusive to my mom. and we grew up not liking him very much. but then when he asked david to come home, david did that right after college.
3:45 am
started developing a relationship with him and seeing him as someone who was aging, becoming more frail. and started recognizing him as a human being. from knowing him for 50 years, i wasn't surprised when he forgave my father. >> reporter: as many people still consider what comes next, they must face the legacy that david broug left them. >> you know, i didn't really learn what it was until he died. and then i realized, during the vigil when is i finally learned. i'm like -- because he was asking everybody what is compassion. >> so jerry what is compassion? >> if i see you're cold, if i see you're hungry, or you're hurting, those are opportunities for me to be compassionate. to be kind. to be gentle. to be loving. to be present. >> reporter: for maria broug, she has the words her brother left her to live by. >> i was like, okay, now i know what i have to do. i have to have forgiveness in my
3:46 am
heart. i have to help others. not force others, not shame others into that. but anyone who needs help with finding forgiveness, then i'm here for them. >> reporter: so many of the words that filled david broug's notebooks have been published. and about that one word, compassion, it comes from the latin meaning "to suffer with." to feel the pain of others. and from the man who spoke that word so often from this bench comes this challenge. to put that word into action. to not only feel our neighbor's pain, but to do what we can to ease it.
