IndyDave1776, RIP, You Will Be Missed...

[Twangbanger]

It had been some time since we talked, but I'm sorry to hear of his passing. It is nice to think about past conversations we had. Quite a bracing realization when you start seeing good folks pass who are younger than you. Dave you will be missed.

Somebody mentioned a heart attack. Or three.

Not sure how legit that is.

I read that too. I believe Dave had been battling a heart condition off and on for quite a while.

For a few years. It was so bad he had fluid build up in his legs that kept him in hospital for a while. I am amazed he passed any CFL physical
He has family but they do not get along. He has some kids living with him that he took under his wing to raise. Not blood family.

That is my recollection as well. I knew that he had been previously hospitalized for a while. I was also surprised that he was able to pass a physical to drive a truck.

I would just like to add something about Dave from my own personal interaction with him.

Even though I never met him I discovered that we had a common experience. I lost my Mother last November and I had mentioned that I was a caregiver for her along with my sister before she passed.

Dave and I had a conversation about a similar experience that he had being a partial caregiver for his Grandmother I believe it was who passed away from the same illness years ago.

It helped me get through a rough period in time having someone that I could relate to.

It was a brief conversation but I will be forever grateful to him for reaching out to me.

My condolences and prayers for Dave's family and friends. Obviously a man with passion and heart.

Taking in another's child to raise speaks volumes about his character.
Someone did that for my father, else I wouldn't be here.

RIP my man

Don’t cry for me because I’m gone.
Smile and laugh because I was here!

To Dave, Thanks

Dang it. I knew he was sick, sure didn't know this. RIP, IndyDave1776.

Always liked his posts. Never got to meet him.

 

[DragonGunner]

Only knew him on here. Loved his posts, never realized he was that young. God bless his family.

 

[White Squirrel]

I did not know him personally but from the comments of those who did, I wish I had. Sounds like a great guy and we need all of those we can get in this world.

 

[chubbs]

Always enjoyed his posts and humor. Rest in peace Dave.

A necropost on another thread led me here. I was scanning the early days of that thread when I saw the emeritus banner under Dave’s screen name. I guess I missed this news when it happened.

IndyDave was one of the good ones. His was one of those posters I was always interested in what his take was on things. I know it’s old news for some but it’s news for me. This sucks. I hope you’ve found peace in our Lord, Dave.

 

[gregr]

Dang it. I hope he was saved.

 

[Expat]

I always got the impression he was a good Christian.

 

[BigRed]

I truly miss IndyDave.

He made a big difference in the lives of folks around him.

So odd to see CM and BT on here with those yellow banners as well. Hope those guys and Dave are having a heck of a time wherever they are! I really miss Tim.....

I didn't know ID or BT personally. But I really miss Tim too. There are things in my world that are a result of his hands, reminds me of him literally every day.
