Location: Avondale, AZ | Please forgivive me I am in tears. I have tried to lo log in here earlier but I have been so broken. My husband has passed away. You may have recalled that he had recovered from a stroke. He was 48 and died with family and friends. He had spoken of you all often. I thought I should let you know. |

Location: Avondale, AZ | Thank you for your kind responses. He was too young. Worse yet our children were only 6 and 8. His mother had taken pictures of them playing earlier that day. I would like to post one if I could. He had been doing well and was so happy. He was in a three piece band with two friends he knew from high school. He was setting up for their first open practice when he just fell . We had all gathered to be their first audience.

I am at a similar age with similarly aged children. I can't begin to imagine what you're going through.
It took an enormous amount of courage to tell us. |

Location: Tennessee | Oh Karen this is so sad. David was so overjoyed just a few short weeks ago as he was able to start playing again and it was all coming back to him. I remember how excited he was, and how uplifting it was for us, when he would post how he was able to make music again ... he would post again a few hours later with even more excitement about another song from his past that he was able to play. We were blessed to be able to share in that miracle with him. My heart goes out to you, the children, and family. Please let us know if there is ANYTHING we can do. |

We rejoiced when David posted his progress. We now grieve in his passing.
If possible, please let us know if there is a favorite charity to which we can send a 'memorial'.
Prayers and condolences to you and yours! |

May God comfort you and the children this day and in the difficult days ahead. When I read your post I immediately stopped and prayed for you, and I will continue to do so. It is very clear from the many posts here that he was a very special person, and I am sure he will continue to be in your heart, and those of your family and friends.

It is very difficult to say anything. We are for sure a bunch of friends, despite the fact that we haven´t yet met. Maybe these gals and guys here are like country roosters, who sing in the morning, welcoming the sun. And since there are so many of us, all around the world, each one is able to catch the song, sending it to the next, following round and round all day long. Now, there´s a gap in our song, and it will be missed dearly. We will all stop singing now and pray a bit. And in our prayers we will assure David that his friends are still here, looking and caring about you and your kids.
Thank you,
Miguel |

Location: big island | i'm so sorry to hear of the loss of your husband, karen. we sense your heartache and offer up prayers on the behalf of you and your family.
here's a quote from david in a thread back in january titled, "anybody here not sing?"
" Now I am comfotable with my singing and my wife (who has a golden voice) and I sing an occasional karoke night. She get raves and cheers. I get polite applause. I recently taught my daughter (who has her mother's voice) the song "I'd like to teach the world to sing". It is one I do well and she loves it. My daughter will let me know if I sound bad."
here's a man who praised his wife and taught his children to sing. great legacy. a life lived full is finer than a life lived long. david faced his challenges and came out singing. bravo! |

He knew and shared the love of Family and Music and he will certainly be missed, he was obviously a great guy. That is more than many can boast.

How well I know where you are now; I have walked in the valley that you currently stand in, and my heart goes out to you as only those of us who have been there can. I was 48 when I lost my Jack, so I fully understand how it feels when death comes at an unexpected time.
Please know that my thoughts and prayers will be with you in the days and weeks ahead; there are other sisters in grief who will be praying for you, too.
Much love,
Karen |

Location: Texas | It is difficult enough to be pragmatic about the loss of a family member or friend who reaches a ripe old age. It is impossible to come to grips with the loss of a special person at such a young age. Please know that he and you are in the thoughts and prayers of many friends here. Even though many of us have never met in person, there is a strong sense of family here, and we will miss him…
Deepest Condolences, |

All my condolences go to you and your family.
I sometimes read David's posts, so i feel concerned by his passing and your disarray.
Six years ago i lost my brother by accident at age 39. Times were hard for his wife and three young children, who are aged like mine and yours. However life must continue. I wish you will find the necessary courage and determination, and help as well, in the coming weeks. RIP David.
