No offense to anyone but there was so much more to Quiet than stats signups.

Just ignore this comment, but it needed to be said...

Bye Quiet. :(

There's not many that couldn't be inspired by Quiet... Made his money young, wasn't afraid to travel anywhere in the world, climbed mountains, snowboarded and biked down them, lived in paradise, drove some fine vehicles and could never be caught bragging about any of that. He treated people equally and thumbed his nose at no one.

I know all this, yet I know almost nothing about him. One could only imagine all the good things about Quiet that most of us didn't even get a chance to know.

We will all here miss you, and only hope to know more like you man...

RIP Quiet

Fletch, I know you were close to him so this is harder on you. I cannot think of anyone else that was as respected at Quiet was. Not an easy thing on this board. I think that is a tribute to the type of guy he was.

Wow... Industry icon... Many programs owners wish they could have a tenth of Quiet's affiliate successes.

RIP Quiet.

RIP Quiet :(

Wow, sad news. I always enjoyed his snowboarding and mountain biking photos/stories. RIP Quiet.

So very true but I don't think anybody meant anything bad about it. Dave was an inspiration to many. Most people would have noticed him for his stats but if they started talking to him then the inspiration would have come from deeper places.

It is weird what memories you get through your head at times like these. I will always remember when I first started to diet and drop my weight. He was so supportive in the background. I remember posting a year into it that I had gone to Norway and climbed up to a glacier. Something, I would never have been able to do before I lost weight. The way he responded to that was so sincere that it really encouraged me..in a weird way more than it did when I got other kudos.

Then, the travel..I loved trading notes with him on our world adventures.

So young :( RIP Quiet.

sudden liver/kidney failure? scary as around the same age. life is just a fleeting blip ...

He was on JBM asking about liver and kidney transplants a month or so ago. So it looks like that is the case :(

that is very sad news. How old was he?

What a terrible loss to his loved ones. He was always one of the people in the industry who inspired me and who I respected most. "Quiet" will be missed.

Wow :(

Dave was a great guy.

I could go on for pages, but for those that knew him... already know what I would type.

The brightest stars burn out too quickly.

RIP

This reminds me I have to start following my license plate FIYOLO Fuck It You Only Live Once!

Guys like Quiet typified the very best of the golden days of online adult. He did it well, he did it in style, and he did it without the depravity we all see in the industry today. His posts in the day were electric and defined the mood of the times. When I look at these old pics I still get a buzz.

When IBill went under he helped me out a lot as I was in the very same situation and like him I managed to get the majority of my funds. Fantastic stuff.

That is one of the reasons why I don't want to be an organ donor, I wouldn't want to breath life into such shallow beings.

RIP i remember reading few very inspiring posts from him!

Quiet was the first and almost only one that made me bookmark a thread on gfy.
Thanks for all you tought to us, and rest in peace, you'll be be missed a lot.

Wow..... sad news.

Wow what a shock, very sad for those close to him

RIP Quiet. didnt know you, seeing post at different boards from time to time it's like i do. not sure if i read it right at JBM being 38 really hits hard knowing thats my age.

all the best to you in the after life..

one of quiet's most favorite song

Word.

Quiet was good people. He definitely struck me as someone who loved life, and lived it to the fullest in many ways.

He will be missed.

man, that strikes me hard, very hard. Theo just told me the terrible, terrible news.

Dave and I just reconnected about a year ago on Facebook, we used to email a lot about a decade ago when he still ran Ultrawired.

Fuck man, that makes me so sad.
:(

Well brother, take care. You will be missed.

One last time. :glugglug


~Equinox

I feel nauseous.

Fuck.

RIP for one of the originals. :(

His posts totally inspired me over the years. .....

Quiet inspired me many times over the years too. I always used to look forward to his next screenshot lol. He was always very friendly and I just can't believe he died so young. Life is not fair, that's for sure.

BE AN ORGAN DONOR!

RIP Quiet.

Does anyone have a pic of him?

Did not know Quiet but would have liked to. Must have been a Helluvaguy!

Feel compelled to post this:

John Donne

Meditation XVII (Partial)

"No man is an island, entire of itself; every man is a piece of the continent, a part of the main. If a clod be washed away by the sea, Europe is the less, as well as if a promontory were, as well as if a manor of thy friend's or of thine own were: any man's death diminishes me, because I am involved in mankind, and therefore never send to know for whom the bells tolls; it tolls for thee."

Thank you for reading and my condolences to his family and friends.

played this one for Dave tonight. will miss him forever. tattoo ideas forming...

"this songs about finding family where you had none"

(Dave loved Blood for Blood)

:glugglug

tons of him on facebook......he added many friends from here on there.....

i don't really want to post the link though... dave kept that kinda private

any word as to the cause of death?

RIP Quiet. :(

He posted on another forum about looking into organ transplant surgery in other countries besides Canada etc. Pure speculation on my part of course.

Rip.... :(

He was well loved and inspired many. My heartfelt condolences to his family and friends. :(

WOW - Sad news :(

I always enjoyed reading quiet's posts.

Rest in peace and best to your family and friends...

Oh wow, sad news. RIP

I literally got chills when I read this news. Just stopping by to pay my respects to Quiet. Dave was one classy guy. RIP Dave.

How sad... Rest in peace...

Urgh. What horrible news. I remember talking to him "back in the day." He was always helpful.

RIP.

Damn. I hope they have nice cars there Q.

I understand,I was just curious as what he looked like .he seemed like a real nice guy

FYI: Anyone that was a Fbook friend, his girlfriend has left his page open for people to come by and make comments.

The Internet is an amazing thing. It allowed a thoughtful, decent guy like Quiet to touch the lives of countless people he never even knew were following his posts. People like me.

Back when I started in this business I read GFY frequently but I never posted much because I was busy, didn't think I had much of value to add, and well, the culture was a little intimidating. :) Still, certain people made an impact, and after all of these years if someone asked me who I remembered from those days on GFY, Quiet would be one of the first to come to mind.

I feel absolutely terrible that his life has been cut short, and that he won't be snowboarding for decades to come. When the front page of GFY loaded and I read the title of this thread, I felt my stomach churn and my pulse race, as if I'd just found out about the death of a close friend. It seems strange to be affected so strongly by the death of someone I don't know, but only know of. Perhaps its a testament to Quiet, who stood out as a good and genuine person in an endless sea of cruelty and nastiness.

In addition to the above expressions of regret and sorrow from his GFY family, maybe his loved ones will take some small additional comfort in knowing that he touched a great many more people than he probably ever knew. People who will be reminded that while life is harsh and unpredictable, kindness and decency can be found in even the most unlikely places, and they leave a lasting impression. People like me.

RIP Quiet
