One thing i would like to add but didn't want to put it in my last post, the people questioning this thread i can actually understand to a certain extent. Thanks to the "fake" Lightspeed thread which was posted on here a little while back. So you can thank all who were involved in that for people having doubts... :disgust

Very sad news. he posted more often on another board and was a very cool guy in his posts. I never met nor had any dealings with him but very very sad to hear about this.

He did a trip to Europe last September and we were in touch for meeting in Amsterdam just before the WebmasterAccess. Unfortunately, due to my heavy schedule I didn't manage to meet him. I remember he was with his fiance visiting museums etc and probably I didn't want to drag them to my less exciting schedule. Since Dave was a frequent traveler like me I didn't put much thought on this; I considered the obvious "next time" we'll happen to be in the same country. Regretted.

RIP Quiet

Quiet was my personal hero.

RIP :(

Good Night, Sweet Prince

RIP Quiet, seemed like one of the more reasonable people around here.

This is the sort of event that makes all the fake death threads untasteful, as it draws question come the time actual deaths take place. :2 cents:

Agreed.

I've also chatted with Julie though so I know this is real.

This is very sad news. All my thoughts and condolences go to his friends and family and all who loved him and held him dear. Like most, I didn't spend a huge amount of time with him and never met him, but always enjoyed his posts.

:glugglug

I woke up late today and checked my email and saw it.... At first reaction I was like "bullshit, cant be real..." Then I logged in and saw this post and realized it was true..

Although I never met Dave in person (maybe I did back in the day but cant remember) but I gotta say he did inspire me like many others here. Too young to be taken away , RIP Dave.

Fair enough. Sorry for that reaction. So, used to putting on 'anti-asshole armor' here.

RIP Quiet. I just can't believe this. Way to young. At least he took the time to enjoy what he loved in life. So sad.

Condolences to his family and may he RIP

wow, that really sucks.

Rest In Peace Dave.

It's a sad, sad day. RIP quiet :(

R. I. P.

RIP Quiet, at least he's in a better place.

To bad that he only got to enjoy being retired for a few years...life can be fickle...and often is.

RIP man.. never met u but your screenshots and posts were an inspiration to me.. this was one guy who was classy all around.. cheers man

This is one of those times when you pray it isn't true!!! R.I.P.

quiet was always such a well meaning, polite and genuine person. This is really shocking and saddening, and I didn't even know him in person or as well as I'd have liked. My very most sincere condolences to all of his friends and family at this terribly difficult time. :(

We chatted quite freq 5 years ago or more.

Why has NOBODY met thus cat?

Just sayin.

All the same RIP.

Too young to go :Oh crap
Condolences to his family :(

This call for Immediate ban!

RIP Quiet :(

OMG,that is shocking,RIP Dave :(

There isn't an old timer here who doesn't remember pics like this and the golden age of this board:

It's a testament to Quiet that I've kept it all these years.

RIP.

Wow thats a shock indeed, rip dude....

Seems that way. Very sad. He was respected by so many people in our online community.
I have seen his posts for years and years here and always thought how smart and polite this person was. Recently we kept in touch on FB and I got a much a better idea of his personal life and character. Too young... :Oh crap

Julie if you are reading this thread
I am so sorry for your loss. My thoughts are with you and Dave's family.
Hold on to the memories....

Dave was among a handful of industry vets that I gained so much knowledge and insight into this business from. My heartfelt prayers and sympathy go out to all that knew him. RIP Dave

Wow - That is so sad - You know that your getting old when your ICQ list gets shorter rather than longer.....

RIP Dude :(

A loss to GFY and to those who new him. Very sad - RIP.

RIP Quiet.

some of his posts were very inspiring to me.

My condolences.

Did a search for his latest posts at least once or twice a month to see if I missed any gems he dropped. The only GFY user I did that for.

R.I.P.

Cheers Quiet :glugglug The man made millions and died young.he led the life most people here would never experience.he was the man.see you in the after life bro

So freaking sad, Dave was an awesome guy, I had no idea he was even sick

So sad, RIP Dave

RIP.
quiet was good people.
:(

A great way to try to turn this negative into a positive would be if in memory of Dave / Quiet some of us became organ donors.

I'm an organ donor. I don't carry a card in my wallet but my primary care physician has a stack of documentation including my consent to donate my organs. I also have a living will and documentation regarding who can and can't make medical decisions on my behalf.

I know getting things like that in order seem a little grim, but doing so you can ensure your wishes are met and you can help save the life of someone in need of an organ transplant. Someone like Quiet.

Wow, RIP

I got this news in an email half an hour ago, so thought I better hop on GFY to see if there was a thread. There are lots of players but Quiet was a really great guy. RIP.

You would know better than most. :glugglug

Ah, don't be too sure of that. heh

Some of us just don't do the convention circuit.

great idea. I've had one since I was 16. Transplant only, no medical research though.

Our condolences to his family.

Have you learned what the cause of death was?

Good deal :thumbsup

I pray that all of us live to 85 or above, but if something does happen it doesn't hurt to be prepared for the unexpected. If something was to happen to me, if my life could save the lives of others I hope it might take the edge off the tragedy for my loved ones. My heart goes out to Julie.

Although we never met, your posts and statistics motivated and helped guide me in my early years. RIP Quiet.

Terrible news,

always enjoyed reading his posts and admired him greatly

RIP Dave

Very sad news. RIP Quiet
