I went to high school with Dave, and played both baseball and football with him. He was one of the nicest guys I had ever met, and am deeply saddened by his passing. My deepest condolences to his family...

I loved listening to Dave play and sing as well as just hanging out with him. He was a truly talented songwriter with a beautiful heart. I am so sorry to see he has left this world at such a young age. May he Rest In Peace with his Mom by his side
