Messages Of Condolence

Nulli Secundus - I was commissioned by Louise to create a special piece of fused glass art for this lovely, courageous and exceptionally brave man who exemplified his regiments motto his whole life. It was a total pleasure to make and I was able to get to know the funny and kind David as a result. RIP David. Love to Louise, Garry and family ❤️💂🏻‍♀️💜

Words cannot express the loss I feel now that you are gone. You were the most amazing person I knew, with such a big heart and tremendous resilience it’s difficult to comprehend how carried on day after day. So fly high mate and know that you made such a positive impression on so many people. You will never be forgotten, love you .

Dear Louise, Gary & All the Family

I still can’t believe my ‘old marra’ has gone and flown this mortal coil. There are days when I reach for my phone to message him about something useless or another - then realise he isn’t here - as we would often chat and laugh.

Having known Dave for over 36 years, from when we first met at the YDU, I really got to know his wonderful and cheeky sense of humour (something we shared). A bright and intelligent human being with a heart of gold. We stayed friends since that first encounter in September 1989 and, often reminiscing about our lives’ pre and post spinal cord injury - the good, bad and everything in between. I’ll never forget sharing a room with you in a freezing Blackpool hotel!

I will miss you, rest in peace.

Rachel and I are thinking of Louise and all the family. xxx

Dave, I met you 28 years ago, joined your wonderful team 2 years later when you helped me out of a situation.
But that was you all over kind, funny
(Your little one liners) and a gent.
I will miss the silly banter and that smile when I made you laugh (even though you tried your hardest not to show it )
There is a big void now you are gone.
Rest in peace my lovely. Xx
