I am so sorry to hear of Dave's passing. We were in film school at SIU together and recently reconnected. I instantly remembered his verve, knowledge, and all around good will.
We had a great long phone conversation a few months ago. I always learned so much from him and always appreciated his genuine enthusiasm. He was inspiring.
This is a great loss. I extend my deepest sympathies to all the family.

Jane,
We're so sorry for your loss. I hope you're able to take some solace in knowing what a full life Dave was able to live in 42 short years and how many people he touched.
I never met anyone with more actual life experiences than Dave - from sailing, hot air ballooning, Civil War re-enactment and on..and on.
Lord knows I tried - but I never did find a topic to discuss where Dave didn't know more than me. And yet, he conveyed knowledge in a way so few could - never condescending and always leaving you wanting more.
I feel enriched to have been lucky enough to have spent time with Dave.
He gave a whole new meaning to water cooler talk - as you never knew which adventurous tale you'd learn of next ...as Dave's stories were always enlightening, entertaining and incredibly..all true.
I'll miss Dave ...and selfishly so sorry I didn't spend even more time with him.
I don't think I've ever met anyone that was happier in his own skin than Dave.
I'm happy and feel gifted to have known him as I know I'll never meet another like Dave.
Our deepest heartfelt condolences.

Dave was one of the coolest guys from my days in the Cinema Department at SIUC. He worked on everyone's projects - with skill, enthusiasm and support. He was so easy going and unpretentious that you couldn't help but want to be around him. His kindness and generosity were compelling - he touched me deeply by one day giving me an extra motorcycle helmet so my passengers could be safe and legal! Dave stood out. Dave was a great human being.

I will always remember Dave from the time we were in college and working with Touch of Nature. He was a kind, caring and loving person with one hell of a sense of humor. I will never forget the times that humor helped when I felt the lowest in my life. I will be forever grateful for his humor, kindness and generosity. God bless you and your family.

We were so sorry to hear that Dave had passed. The news was a shock to all... We often times thought that there is know way one individual could have the knowledge that Dave had about almost everything. He had a wonderful sense of humor and engaged with everyone he came in contact with. He was a good friend and will be missed beyond words. Our thoughts and prayers are with him always!!! God Bless!!!

I met Dave in 1987 & although he was only a couple years older than me, his maturity & level headedness surpassed me in eons. Over the next decade David was always there to support me or give me a reality check when needed. Although we lost touch when I moved, often I would/will continue to reflect on the difference he made in my life. My heart is heavy in not understanding why the good die young. My thoughts & prayers are with you!

I was so sorry to hear about Dave's passing. I will always remember the time Dave, Kevin and I from Brown Shoe bonded on our trip to videotape an interview with Sammy Sosa at his penthouse suite at the Bellagio in Las Vegas. It turned out to be a VERY long day and Dave's great sense of humor helped to make what could have been a stressful time into a really fun experience. What a great guy! God bless him.

Dave was an incredible guy... so kind and such a generous heart. He loved to share his passion for cameras, cinematography, and all things related. Dave was truly gifted in his ability to create unique videos and movies, and his knowledge and mastery of technology was amazing. I feel fortunate and priviledged to have worked with such a wonderful person and know that he is at peace. My thoughts and prayers are with his family during this most difficult time.
