Miami, FL – August 21, 2023 – A sentiment found throughout David’s art, a constant thread woven into the tapestry of his life’s work, is that we are all here but for a brief moment It is why he savored joy, and spread it. He lived and laughed and loved more than most, riding the waves of his career around the world. but the more he grew, in work and in life, the more he returned to an appreciation of the simplest pleasures. Watching birds on his porch in North Carolina. Drawing for people in the hospital. Making his friends laugh. Sobbing at the beauty of a sunset as he held his wife’s hand. Dancing, even in his wheelchair. The last year of his life was a gift that served as a catalyst for spiritual evolution. Those closest to him on that last trial also reaped the beauty and benefits often found in the growth on the other side of pain. The final hours of his transition were filled with inappropriate laughter, ethereal music, prayer meditation and profound love and gratitude from those of us who had the forever honor of walking David home the last year of his physical life.
