Sad news indeed. I, too, was hoping he beat the beast. I see that his sister was not listed as pre-deceased - I'm hoping that she's alive and well, carrying on David's legacy.

His legacy here is strong as one of the best contributors we've ever had. His positive demeanor, his Sunday morning NFL threads, and his compilation of the 'Fires best recipes bookmarked in the Cooking Forum will leave his mark on this site for a long time.

Godspeed to his family and thank you Lynn for letting the 'Fire know.
