I saw the Facebook Nuthaus notification earlier this afternoon while I was out. Usually I would check it, but this time I didn't until I got home, because I was afraid that it would be this. Rest in peace, Fett. :(

Very sad news. My condolences to his family and friends.

I had a dream about him last night, like he was going to be okay.
But he's free from the struggle now.
I had some great talks with him over the years, and he was a good friend, like for a lot of us here.
I mentioned before how important he was to me, reassuring me and walking me through what was going on when I was having heart issues and felt ignored by everyone else.
He had done as much as any person could to try to do this life thing right ... He had really thought about and struggled over his worldview, what's good and right and true in the world, what's good and right and true in music XD ... He knew deeply about people in real pain or really lost, and he practiced compassion in the trenches. He was funny. He was thoughtful. He was creative. Some of his most creative work he made right here in our community and we were fortunate to have him.
He taught me how to be a better human.
There's no better epitaph one could have than that.
RIP Dave. <3

I am so, so very sorry to hear this. Dave was like a brother to many of us and he is already missed. My heartfelt sympathies go out to his family.

I didn't want to open this thread but I had to.
I am so sad to hear this, for all of us but especially for his family.

I was afraid of this when he said he was tired. He was never tired even after all he had been through. We lost a good man. I don't need to tell anyone that. There is no better thing that one can be in a harsh world than kind and he was that. I'll miss him.

Rest in Peace, fett. One of those people who have been here forever, and you would think they would also be here forever. He will be missed.

I was never not amazed by his sheer strength and determination in the face of everything he'd been through. He was one of those people I could look upon and only marvel at not just because of their tenacity and sheer force of will, but because they were able to be funny, creative, generous, and kind even after everything life had dealt them.
There's so much wisdom in his stories, and so much joy in who he was as a human being. While I'm relatively new compared to the rest of the kru and didn't get to talk to him as much in the time he was active, I'm happy to have shot the shit with him here and shared in all the dumb laughs we had. He's part of what made this place special to me, and he will be missed.
You fought the good fight. Rest in peace, Dave. <3

I can't say anything half as eloquent as Sulph or Dema or anyone else here. This sucks. I'll miss him. RIP, fett.
