DAVID MERCER

David, I think of you, your brother Scott and your mother Sylvia on my mother Anne´s own passing anniversary. Like my mother Anne, who loved you and your brother so much, you were such a gentle, kind soul. A wonderful addition to our home as often as you were there (nearly daily it seemed!). On our family´s deeply saddest day (after our mother had been missing for nearly a week) it was your mother Sylvia who drove with us to the Wilton, CT police station once they had found her car. Naively...

David was a true American who believed in freedom, human rights & democracy. I was fortunate to meet him in 1986 in Boston on a Congressional campaign. Both young and both passionate about democracy and change. Later we moved onto a profit/nonprofit company in Boston (explanation for another time) as we went our separate career paths I lost touch with him. Fortunately, or due to karma(?), we connected thru Facebook many years later. I had just had 4 major strokes and befuddled how to...

My condolences to David's family, especially to his mother who I met once. He was my friend and roommate back in 1970/71 at Rumsey Hall School. I never saw him again after that year.

David was A near fixture in my childhood home, along with his brother Scott. He was cherished by my family. The kindest, sweetest, and most gentle soul. I learned about his passing by chance. So heartbreaking. Life is deeply unfair. Condolences to his family.

Mercer, I just read the news, man. Dude, you were such a kind guy. Heaven has become smarter, stronger, and classier, too. Love ya, dude

David was my high school love. We were good friends but actually got closer as adults. He was always willing to help and to lend an ear. We missed him at the last reunion but he has always been in our thoughts. David was the full package: varsity captain, good looking, smart, kind, great sense of humor. And he had a sweetheart of a girlfriend in prep school. They don´t make them like David. He will truly be missed.

RIP Dave.

I worked with David on a congressional campaign in 1986 in Boston and subsequently at CEC I reconnected with him a few years ago on Facebook. I was beginning my journey with what would become Early Onset Dementia. David opened up and shared with me his terrible experience of being attacked & his subsequent fight to recover! He did this NOT to brag but to give me a boost and INSPIRE me! He told me to move forward and keep trying to not let my disease take me! Of course many times since...
