Oh my god, it hurts me so bad to hear this, i am totally in shock. He was 37yrs old and I did have the pleasure to meet such a great guy that loved the performance world and wanted to extend his knowledge to his customers and friends. Dave you will be truly missed and Im 100% numb to find this out. I have no words that will give his family comfort. Suzie you are in our prayers, be strong and drive Canadian performance with your crew, thats what Dave would want.

I only had the pleasure of meeting him once but I could tell he was a stand up guy.

I had the pleasure of meeting Dave at an Atco track rental last year, from the brief conversations we had I could tell he was very knowledgeable in the performance world. He will be missed, my condolences to the family.

I could not believe when I was told about the news of Dave. I also enjoyed talking with Dave as he was a very nice individual. Seeing how I am also 37 yrs old makes me stop and think about a lot of things. The corvette community sure will miss him.
My condolences to his family and friends.
