So very sorry to hear this news and can only offer my deepest sympathy to his family and countless friends for our loss.
I first met Dave in 5th grade when we took painting lessons together and then were classmates from 6th grade through high school. A great friend whom I admired for his brilliant mind, creativity, musicianship, athleticism, sense of humor and kindness to name but a few.
A true renaissance man with a heart of gold, you will be sorely missed by all who knew you.

Rest in peace dear friend.

Still can't believe it, I feel like I saw him just a few weeks ago at the gym and he was in a great mood. Really a good guy who was so positive and easy to work with. My deepest condolences to his family...
