R.I.P Vampire Gerbil

Phil said,
Dave, Say "Hi" to James Mattis, Bob Irons, Gadi, Dr Walt Welch, Rob Simonich and the rest of our BFC brothers.
Amen to that Phil!!!!!!!

The thing I love about the internet is you make so many wonderful friends!!! :)
The thing I hate about it is you sometimes lose them!!!!! :(
Judy, the kindness and caring you showed Dave is a rare thing in this world and I know you will be rewarded for it, God Bless!!!!
Dave had his own way with things and people and those he touched will never forget him because of it!!
My solace in facing a loved one's death is knowing I will see them again when Jesus Christ returns for us and the Millennium begins!
 
Dave was, when at his best, a burst of bright light, wit, humor, and always bizarre behavior. I met him at Blade in Atlanta twice, and talked to him on the phone on a few occasions. I spoke to Allison once while he was in the hospital early in his medical demise.

VG will be missed, Lorena will be missed, & I will miss Dave... RIP

Judy, you were a good friend to the end. People like you are a rare blessing. Thanks for what you did for Dave through this community.

Again, RIP buddy
 
If there is a Heaven, then there will be a whole truckload of watermelons and a loaded shotgun waiting for him (remember those photos? :D )

You've reached the last station in the journey, Dave. For those of us still travelling, the rest of the trip just became a bit more boring.

R.I.P, VG. --- You were 1/1,000,000
 
Hey. Do you realize that we can no longer refer to Dave as the "undead" rodent? Well, I suppose we could. I haven't actually seen the body nor the coroner's report.

Geez. It's so strange knowing that he is no longer terrorizing the poor people of Pahrump. Those taxi drivers are going to have to get part time jobs now.

I knew this would happen, and I sorta kinda knew it would happen in this next year or so. But it still is too soon.

He's gone, but not forgotten. That will never happen.

I came only lately to the forums and never had the privilege of meeting Dave or chatting with him, but I have followed some of the VG posts and projects. Anybody who generates that kind of interest and response has to be one of the good guys. And of course, he's a dog lover. I'm sure he's at the bridge now, collecting all those who have been waiting for him.

Smoke and prayers to all who knew Dave and especially those who helped care for him and his family from nearby or far away.

I know I'd like to think he was right around the next corner ... waiting to jump out at me with a cape and a 'boo!' I wouldn't mind at all ... :o

We could do with a little of his unique terrorizing here in Virginia.
 
Ancient Egyptians believed that upon death they would be asked two questions and their answers would determine whether they could continue their journey in the afterlife. The first question was, "Did you bring joy?" The second was, "Did you find joy?"

I believe Dave did both.

Godspeed.
 
VG brought us so much joy and then suffered so much pain; it was a great tragedy. We will continue to miss him.

RIP

Rest in peace, Dave.

I didn't know him, but my sincerest condolences to his family and all his friends. All of you that helped him through his hard times, you are truly wonderful people. He is in a better place now. Reading this brought tears to my eyes.

One of the hardest things I have ever had to do was to post this thread about Dave's death. How can I be the bearer of this news to all of his friends? What can I say? How do I say it? It had to be done.

It was easier for me to tell two of my brothers that another brother had died unexpectedly.

Death is never easy and especially when the one who has gone was someone who was loved by so many.

Dave was that someone.

Well, you did it with style and grace. :thumbup:

You know we appreciate all you've done for him -- in essence, you've done favors for all of us, as well.

We won't forget that.
 
I just spoke to Edith. She has been in touch with Alicia. The Sheriff Deputy told Edith that only Alicia, Allison, and Tiffany (Dave's natural daughter) can legally enter Dave's apartment.

I don't know if Alicia knows how to contact Allison. Dave was pretty much estranged from both of them. I also don't know if Edith has been in touch with Tiffany or not. I think I can access Dave's email account on g-mail and find Tiffany's email address.

Edith is going to be making funeral arrangements and she wants to get it done so that Dave can be in peace. I also told her that Dave's friends would like to know when the funeral services will be so that they can send flowers.

Edith is going to call me tomorrow. She said that Alicia would like my phone number and I told her it was okay to give it to her.

I'll keep you posted.

Judy
 
Oh no.

I remember well Dave's posts when he was at the top of his game, and I have sympathized with his trials the past couple of years. I'm really sad to hear of his passing.

I apologize if this seems unduly forward, but I remember how proud he was of having his name applied to his beloved wife's headstone. I hope the family will have the comfort of knowing his wishes and being able to follow through on them.

Peace to you, VG.

Rest assured that Dave's mother, Edith, is very aware of Dave's wishes to be buried next to Stacie. She says she even has a document stating Dave's wishes. It is her desire to do every she can to see Dave's wishes carried out.

We'll see what happens now that the 2 adopted daughters, Alicia and Allison, plus his natural daughter, Tiffany, will need to be involved. They are his legal heirs and I suppose have final say, even over his mother.

I have just emailed Tiffany and asked her to contact me. I am hoping that she is already aware of Dave's passing. I did not mention it in my email.

Judy
 
This is very sad news. VG will definitely be missed by many people. Rest in peace, Dave.
 
MAN, that sucks. I hope that Dave is no longer in pain and with his wife
R.I.P. Dave
