I'm sorry to have to tell you all but Dave passed away last night. I will miss him forever but he's not suffering anymore.

I'm sorry...

Oh no! I’m so sorry to hear about this, Dave will forever be missed, he was one of the first people to comment on my art back when I was a teenager doodling on youdraw and he was always encouraging ..he’s been the ever present familiar name in my 19 years on this website and I’ll miss his humor and his lovely boat and bird art especially..such a sad day

:( I bet Dave was very glad to have you as a friend. Thanks for letting us know.

I'll miss Dave. He was a genuinely good person. And 2draw won't be the same without him.

RIP Dave

Lori aka dingaling, so sad to read. Thanks for keeping us posted and sharing this very sad news. You were long time friends and me basically a newbie.
Dave had this genuine ability to reach out to all and share info and encouragement. So sad, sad for your loss who knew him best.
I'll remember his kindness and encouragement.

Is that Davincipopalog? I may have spelled that wrong. I am so very sorry hear this. He was one of the most kind and encouraging people ever . I am glad to have known him.

Yes, it's davincipoppalag, sorry for not saying that. I'm going to miss him so much, he was my best friend for the last 20 years. :*(

Dave always had a kind word. He was a good guy. RIP

While I joined as Dave left, I still got to see the impact he had on so many of 2draws users. Here's to Dave; may he fly in his little plane past the sky, and into the great welkin beyond.

<3

Im sorry to hear about Dave's death. I never really knew the guy, but I bet he was such a good friend to all you people

Yes he was...he was very special

20 years of consistent encouragement, thousands of comments-all well intended. I met Dave at YouDraw 20 yrs ago and we shared all the same platforms ever since. He saw me go through the very beginning stages of drawing on the computer to where I am today and I wouldn't be where I am if it weren't for Dave.
Dave was even so kind as to help me when I was in dire need not that long ago and I am forever grateful. Passing on love, encouragement & understanding was his life's mission. Rest in peace sweet soul, you will forever be missed, elly

:'( very sad to read this. :'(

I came to the site to find out if he's better. So sad :(
Dave was truely a loving and special man.
Lori, if you know his family please tell them there are people who remember and mourn him on the other side of the globe.

I believe he only had a sister in law left for family, and I don't know her I think about him everyday and wonder sometimes if he's with me.

Aww, this is so sad. He was one of the first people I talked to on here back in 2007. He was a truly special person and this site won't be the same without him. =(

💔 he will be missed. back when 2draw was starting out he helped pay for the server costs. that went a long way when I was just a college student.

Aww, nooo. He was the sweetest. I became a member here in 2007 and he was always encouraging and kind. I wasn’t active much on here but I would log on every now & then to check in and say hi to him. Very sad to see this tonight. May he rest in peace. <3

edward11, please have the respect to post your games on another forum rather than on this forum where we are honoring a 2D soldier who has passed. Thank you

He was one of the best people I've seen posting on oekaki boards. Always kind, polite, happy and optimistic. Never seen him participate in fights or drama, And his art was really nice and fun too. Farewell Dave.

R.I.P Mr. Dave. May he find peace on the other side.

Wow... This is a broad stroke, but I believe it's accurate, he was one of the most uplifting people on the internet. If you worked hard on something, or you just pushed out a practice piece, he was there shining a light on it. Dave was loved by many here.

Oh my goodness, no :(
Dave was one of the kindest and sweetest people in the community, he was always ready with an encouraging word.
How heartbreaking.

:( I have had brief communication with Dave during my online endeavor, He was a decent human. You will be missed my friend.

Man, I was thinking about him and I logged on and I saw this :(
He was so sweet wherever he was on the internet. He will be dearly missed.
