Default [Serious] David aka dadkins passed away Sat morning!

This is a link to another site. We have lost one of ours. He'll be missed here. If I missed another thread talking about this I'm sorry. I did search though.

Sorry it was on a private forum.

Here is what was posted by a friend of his ZEROCOOL.

"I'm talking to his mother now in Cali. I will relay more information as I get it. RIP Dadkins we love you!

His mom told me that he had problems breathing and he found him very stiff. So he passed away in the early AM on Sat. They are doing an investigation and she will call me and I'll post more details as soon as I get them. Thanks everyone for you support. We talked for hours on skype and it is really tough on me.

If you want to leave a message with your condolences you can leave them at 518-907-4553. After a week or two I'll put them on CD to send to his mother. I will also probably fly down ASAP, if I can't make the funeral to at least pay my respects. I looked up to him as a brother."

I didn't know him personally. I knew him form another site and here. A good friend of his on another site gave us the news and I knew everybody here would want to know also.

So sorry to hear.

Makes me very sad. Even though I did not know him, he was one of us.

That is so sad to hear. May he rest in peace. He was one of the few posters from early in the format wars who stayed with this forum and once answered a question I had about computers.

If I remember correctly, he had had a stroke at some earlier point and was in a wheelchair. He talked about it in a thread here once. I remember he said he couldn't work because of it. Too bad, he was a knowledgeable guy and was a good source of info, particularly in the Blu-ray/PC arena. RIP, dadkins.

RIP. Hard to believe he pass away so suddenly and soon because his last post was on July 31st 2009, then to hear this is unreal.
