I miss my friend Crace so much...his words of wisdom and his keen sense of wit and sarcasm pop into my head every week. I loved him. I loved his family. I miss him dearly but I know hes in the arms of God. Love ya Crace.

We have just learned of this tragic news. For everyone at BOLTgroup, our hearts go out to David's, family, friends and co-workers. Humility was once defined as, "The grace which makes every other grace amiable. This is how we knew David - a great mind for marketing, always wanting to know more and an enthusiastic nature, he was very encouraging and appreciative of all the work we completed together. We are better for having known him.

Our hearts break for all of you in your great and so sudden loss. Our lives have been blessed and enriched by the friendship of your family. May the "God of all comfort" be nearer to each of you than ever before. We love you, David and Pat White

David and I shared a wonderful bond, though the years had passed and our contacts grew further and further apart, our friendship never faded. Every Veteran's Day he called to thank me for my military service and, unlike so many others, he really meant it. We shared many stories about the challenges and immeasurable rewards of marriage, the mutual difficulties having kids and then the wonderful difficulties raising them. He shared his deep religious faith with me and I shared my equally deep agnostic beliefs with him. There was never any judgement, just acceptance and respect. We never once talked about work or career. As I've entered my 50's, many things that were once crystal clear have become unclear but one thing that's become so clear is the quality, durability and wonderfulness of a handful of lifelong friendships forged so many years ago. I will always savor the moments of life shared with him and his beautiful wife, Jennifer.

I have known David as a business associate, where I knew him to be above reproach, a formidable competitor and strong partner; as fellow school parent, where I knew him to be a great dad and leader; and just as a guy, and he was a great guy. He will be missed by so many.

David was a kind, generous man who was always available to help me with a quote for articles I was writing, a chat about the state of the music business, but better still -- talks about our families and the people we loved. My family is praying for yours right now. We are so sorry to hear he is gone from this life. Until we meet again.

I worked with David many years ago. What a good, kind, wonderful person. A lovely energy. He was devoted to his wife and family ( this was before kids, but I remember him speaking often of his parents and siblings) and just a ransom thing, I remember him telling me how much he enjoyed spending time with older people. So sweet. To all his family, I am so, so sorry for your loss. We are all Better for having known David.

David was a class act and earned my respect while we were both at EMI. I will always remember him as a man who took time to pour into others, to learn more about what was in front of him and to care about those who crossed his path. I am grateful to have known him and I offer my deepest sympathies to Jennifer, Paul, Sarah-Jane and all who loved him or called him friend. He will be missed.

I am so shocked to learn that we have lost David from this world. His spirit will live forever through all the people who loved him. I knew David when he was an undergraduate student at UT. He was so bright, caring, and full of energy. My prayers go out to family.

So sad to see this. Every time I was around Dave, I felt happier. ...A lot of joy come out of that guy... And he always saw the best and the full potential of others long before they even knew it about themselves...

I have no words. Crace was one of best friends and mentors I've ever had in my life. I don't think I would be who I am today if not for his influence in my life.
"Now Is the time for tears. Don't speak, save your words. There's nothing you can can say to take this pain away. Don't try so hard, you can just simply be. Cry with me don't try to fix me friend, that's how you'll comfort me"
Rest my dear friend. You left a legacy and I will forever be grateful for your influence, friendship, mentoring, and guidance in my life. Gosh, I will miss you.

David was a delight to all who knew him. His optimism and enthusiam were infectious. His brilliance shined on all of us- he challenged the status quo, and made all of us better at what we do. He leaves us with a great void, but we are so much richer for having worked with him.
So very sorry to learn of David's passing from this life. But we know that he is with our Father for all of eternity, and that we will see him again very soon. We pray for comfort for his loving and loved family. David loved you so much, and was so proud of you. You are clearly what mattered the most to him.

David will be missed by all of us at VF. He was a wonderful person that always cared about others and had a kind word for all that he encountered. He loved his family and spoke often about them and the time he enjoyed together. We at VF couldn't have been more fortunate to find such a dynamic leader that put his positive mark on both the Image and LSG business. I will miss your friendship! God Bless you and your family
