swooperman 0 #1 October 13, 2009 Dave passed away this morning after falling off a roof or a balcony. If you ever saw him land at Brownfield or Otay, you would swear he was going to die right there and then. Of all the crazy things to kill a guy. RIP bro, you will be missed - not for your humor, but you will be missed. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Katzeye 0 #5 October 14, 2009 Wavy Davy were the only man I've ever met that could do a full backbend, in gear. Let's not forget on takeoff "and now for my favorite part, NO REFUNDS" My avatar pic on here was taken by him on my 100th jump. You filmed my Mom's tandem in Monterey as a favor for me. You were always there when I need a friend, a drinking buddy or a shoulder. You taught my dog to lie down with a snap of the fingers. You took me under your wing my first trip down to Brown to AFF with Denny. I was always enthralled with your "220" swoops. Of course you died helping someone else, because as crazy as you are, you are also selfless. Dammit Dave! Dammit, dammit, dammit. I will dig up some pics to post later.

carmenmullenix 0 #6 October 14, 2009 How sad. How random. How unexpected. Sketchy Dave has been a mainstay at Skydive San Diego for twenty-plus years. It'll be so weird without him there. Blue skies forever, old friend. As details are developed about a memorial or services, please let me know. Thanks.Carmen Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

sd-slider 0 #12 November 13, 2009 From day one I knew I was going to like Dave...one Smart-Ass to another. He was my videot on my first jump.... From the bullshit stories of helping build the Empire State building to serving in WWI, Dave was always good for a lengthy tale that was neither interesting nor believable. Yet, he was always the first one to reach out and greet you when you showed up at the DZ. I sure as hell will miss him....When we meet again, please remind not to strike up a conversation if you've been drinking. BTW - You can have my LAST smoke...I have more in the car! Blue Skies Dave.

rmarshall234 14 #13 November 14, 2009 I understand Buzz, and all, gave Dave his proper send-off. Wish I could have been there. I never expected Dave to change and he never asked me to. I'll always remember him for that. RIP brother, you deserve it.. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
