I met Dave at the teen center when I was about 10-11, loved how the guy would always freestyle for me and the other kids; we all kind of confided in him, all kinds of troubles were just laid on him but he never seemed bothered by it and wasn't afraid to give insight and advice where other adults at the time were too apprehensive since we were kids. 

Guy knew how to level with the youth.

Wish I knew he played music outside of the freestyling, I would have went and seen him; I do seem to remember he played guitar after seeing the picture though.

Always tried to find Him on Facebook from time to time--just wanted to see how he was doing and let him know how much of a posistive impact he had on my life. 

I was a homeless youth and had little to nopositive male role models in my life, but he was definitely one of them.

It's been a long time since those days, and I've come a long way thanks to him and others like him.

Sounds like he had a lot more too him than I ever got to see, it warms my heart to see he was loved by many others.

My deepest condolences. I’ve known Dave for 7plus years, an intellectual man, generous and very thoughtful! He always put a smile on our faces at work, and a hug if we ever needed one! Dave made mac n cheese for my boys, I remember him saying “this ain’t no ordinary mac n cheese, it’s a man’s cheese, we gonna call it Hombre Cheese”! 

Your humor is always in our hearts, you will be greatly missed! RIP Dave, my good fren.
