Dave (fett) update - by V. Equinox

Hello all, I'm very sorry to bring you this news, but Dave passed away yesterday from complications of Covid. He'd been recovering from a second heart transplant when he got it, and his body had just worn out.
Dave was like a brother to me, as he was to many folks, and this news is awful, but I know he fought valiantly. Rest in piece, taffer.
P.S. His family's GoFundMe is still available: (

I am so sorry to hear that. He was such a big part of the forum and people's lives here that he will be missed dearly.

I suppose this wasn't a big surprise really, but still it always kind of is (for me at least) - especially in fett's case, when he seemed to be able to beat everything that life threw against him. But not this time, not anymore. What a man. We've lost a real TTLG legend. I never knew him personally, but in here he always came across as friendly and most of all reasonable. Thanks for sharing a big part of your life with us, Dave. You and your sense of humour will be missed.

Very very sorry to hear this. It felt like he would keep beating the odds. I am going to miss him.
All the love in the world to his family and friends. He was a hell of a guy.

A role model of life and strength. You won't be forgotten easily.

Oh wow, I'm so sorry to hear this. I was quite fond of Fett.
Rest in peace, sir.

Just devestating to hear. One of the most valued members of the TTLG diaspora, one of the most kind-hearted and inclusive people I knew.
