what a sad day, ASM gave me great advice on numerous occasions and was always patient and incredibly wise anytime i had the pleasure of picking his brain. As others have expressed he was truly one of the good guys in this biz and will be missed.

I was at David and Julia's wedding. Damn hot day. over 120 in the shade and it was an outdoor wedding.
That was the first time I met him, he wasn't what I expected. He had a very sharp mind, a healthy outlook and an extremely supportive family. Julia was a sweetheart.

Rest in Peace David

Godsmack · 03-18-2010, 02:54 PM

Even though i don't know David I'm sure his passing is a big loss to his friends and family. rest in piece.

stickyfingerz · 03-18-2010, 02:54 PM

Im glad always for the 4 or 5 shows that I got to meet him and Julia and hang out at. Rip Aftershock. Julia if there is ANYTHING you need or need help with don't hesitate to ask, and Jenni please let me know when that is setup. It would be my honor to help out in anyway I can. Stay strong girl. And David will be missed.

RIP David.... Mad respect!

Imortyl Pussycat · 03-18-2010, 03:01 PM

I am deeply saddened by this news. Dave was a friend that always made time to chat and had many profound insights into life to share. He was one of the smartest I have met in this biz and the sweetest. I adore Julia and my heart goes out to her in her time of grief. Please give her my sincerest condolences and let her know that I will be praying for her and their family. I know he was sick of suffering and I know he is in a better place, yet I am selfishly feeling the devastation of this loss

MK Ultra · 03-18-2010, 03:01 PM

That is indeed sad news, while I didn't know AfterShockMedia I always enjoyed reading his intelligent, thoughtful posts.

This board is poorer without him.

Elli · 03-18-2010, 03:06 PM

Oh no

Rest in Peace, ASM. You were an inspiration to me in many ways, from your persistant positive outlook on life to your work ethic and your calm and respectful way of treating people. The world lost one of its better people today.

lazycash · 03-18-2010, 03:06 PM

Gonna miss his insightful posts and industry knowledge. Always sounded like he was struggling with his health and I had a bad feeling something was really wrong this time, rip.

Robbie · 03-18-2010, 03:07 PM

So sorry to hear this. I'm just glad that we were able to meet and become friends. So long David.

pr0 · 03-18-2010, 03:08 PM

Aftershock was a personal friend of mine. We spent many many hours going over idea's....sitting in meetings. He had such a brilliant mind.

This is probably the closest person to me that I've had die in my life. This is truly a somber day for me....on the one side, I've lost a great friend, on the other hand, his daily suffering is finally over.

I'm just glad to be one of the few people that had their lives brightened by his presence.

Aftershock used my Nikon D60 in Atlanta, I will keep that Camera forever & when it's obsolete, i will have it framed, as a memory of a very close friend.

When this memorial fund is setup someone please hit me up & let me know. Check/paypal/epass whatever, I will definitely be there to help his wife in any way I can.

Also I remember David telling me he had everything "setup" for his business for when he passed....if there's anything I can do to help his wife with the sites just let me know. I have some space free'd up on one of my servers, I could definitely host a few domains for you guys.

Wow I'm just speechless right now, I don't know how to take this. I knew it was coming one day & i tried to prepare, but how do you prepare for the death of a great friend?

MetaMan · 03-18-2010, 04:32 PM

DAM sad to hear, he is one of the very few posters i actually liked here.

AsianDivaGirlsWebDude · 03-18-2010, 04:32 PM

David loved rock 'n roll. This song is for you Bro:

I've been sitting here reading through the many nice tributes to David, remembering him, and crying...

I mostly knew David through his postings on GFY as AfterShockMedia. He was one of my favorite posters, because he was very knowledgeable about the industry (and generously shared his knowledge), he had a wonderful sense of humor, and he was passionate about several of the same issues which I am passionate about.

In fact, we met only once, when I visited him while he was at Stanford Hospital this past November. Although we had never met before in person, we shared a meal, drank some beer, and talked for hours like a couple of old friends.

I remember how we talked about GFY as a community. It is at times such as this sad occasion when I am truly reminded of that.

David talked openly and honestly about his medical issues, although he never felt sorry for himself or sought sympathy.

I must tell you too that he loved his wife with all of his heart. I want to extend my sincerest condolences to Julia, and to the rest of David's family.

Finally, I want to share one of David's posts from about 4 months ago, in which he wrote:

Quote:

Originally Posted by AfterShockMedia

I got out of surgery around 5'ish. I was super fucking cold, like expected. I could hear everything around me and could see the roof above me. I just could not figure out how to talk or move, yet. I hear a commotion going on with nurses, doctors, and other people. I sort of freaked. I hear them praying, talking about letting him go, he already has suffered enough, stuff like that. I still could not move, was frozen, and could not talk. My brain is flipping and thinking I died.

After about 10 minutes of that. Someone mentioned "time" a few times. I was pretty sure I was dead and stuck in my damn body. Perhaps not dead but at least stuck.. I got my voice and could suddenly move and I just let out a big gasp. I turned my head and a nurse approached and greeted me. I was like wtf but the fear was fading fast, plus I was cold. Anyways they pulled the plug on the person next to me, or actually were about to and held last rites, etc. I thought the shit was for me and I was upset cause I denied that stuff. About an hour later they finally pulled the plug on the person and let them go. Still was a bit freaky. I was not really scared early on about being dead, I was scared with being stuck in my damn body and not really dead.

Welp I need some rest. That took me a long time to type and I am damn tired.

In some Zen teachings there is an expression that when one dies, they simply drop their body, while their soul lives on.

To me, David has simply dropped his body, and his soul is now free.

Rest In Peace My Friend...

It's because of David and Julia that you and I got to meet in Atlanta! One of the best times I shared with the two of them, I know David considered you a dear friend.

I'll keep everyone posted as to what Julia is arranging to remember him on his birthday on the 28th, as well as what we can put together to give her support at this sad time.

Keep the love coming, I know that at some point she will be strong enough to deal with everything and she will appreciate everyone's good wishes and memories of her beloved husband. He was truly one of a kind and has touched many with his kindness and wisdom.
