Dave's obituary
Dave Strehler was born on December 7, 1990, in Switzerland, where he grew up surrounded by breathtaking nature. His deep connection with the outdoors reflected his adventurous and peaceful spirit. As a child, Dave relocated with his family to San Diego, California, where he continued to thrive, finding joy in the ocean and sunshine. He spent his life moving between Europe and the U.S., eventually settling in Orlando, Florida, with the love of his life, his wife Galina, who was his unwavering support through all of life’s challenges.
Music was at the core of Dave’s being. At just 17, he formed the band The Raven, pouring his heart into his passion and sharing it with the world. He went on to release several solo projects, leaving behind a musical legacy that will live on. But more than his artistic talent, it was Dave’s infectious laughter, his warmth, and his ability to light up a room that made him truly unforgettable.
In his battle with cancer, Dave showed immense courage, never losing his hope or his love for life. His brave, compassionate, and kind spirit will continue to inspire those who were fortunate enough to know him.
Dave is survived by his devoted wife, Galina Strehler, his father Heinz Strehler, and his sister, Catherine Delaloye. His joyful laughter and the music of his soul will forever echo in the hearts of all who loved him.
