He passed this earthly existence at age 42 from pneumonia on July 15 at Sunrise Hospital in Las Vegas. Dave Dave grasped life with a passion many never realize. He was highly respected as an artist.
Who knows what evil lurkes in the hearts of men ?
Dave Dave knew. He confronted his father at the age of 19 and had his say.
For a man who suffered that which he did he lead a very rich and creative life.
He passed seven years ago today. Rest in peace.
