Well that sucks. Such a young guy. Didn't know him except reading his posts. Didn't realize he was a fellow Minnesotan. R.I.P.

So sad to hear. Prayers to his family. David was such a good person and great cook. From some of his post I believe he did a lot of humanitarian work.
Love to cook and eat

Very sad to hear of David's passing. Although I never met David, he has been a friend since the old CharBroil "Sizzle on the Grill" days. He was well traveled and took his family to some primitive and exotic places where they practice real outdoor cooking. He documented most of his travels in pictures and shared a lot of them with us on the forum. I will miss his presence here. Rest in peace, DR Holly.

So sad to hear. I reached out to Tim a couple of weeks ago wondering about David. Whenever someone goes "silent" for a bit, I check their profile to see the date of their last activity on the forum. It had been a while since he was active.

I am gonna miss D-Holly very much.  :'( :'(

Although I didn't know him I do feel for his family. I had only seen a handful of his posts here and there but I knew he was a revered member of this forum. May he rest in peace.
A revolving door of cookers and smokers. Some are keepers, some are here today, gone tomorrow!

I am stunned.  David was one of best and I'm going to miss him.  I greatly regret that we never got to meet in person.  God be with his family and close friends in their loss.

Oh dear, that's terrible news.  :(  I always loved reading David's posts and hearing about his abundant love for his family.  Rest in Peace, dear David.

Like Hub, I am stunned. 
David was always encouraging and helpful as I was learning the ways of outdoor cooking.
We talked on the phone several times...seems like the last time was before Christmas.
So sorry to hear this.

I have never met David but have known him since the days on the Char-Broil forum.

He was a wonderful man and father. Loved his family and always posted pictures of his daughters eating his meals he cooked.

He will be missed greatly and a small piece of my heart was lost with this news...

It amazes me how we can not personally know somebody, yet through years on the forum, you feel like you do. We have lost Phil and now D-Holly. I miss them both very much..................

You can't help but be nice  ;).       I was asking Tee about David just the other day.   Sad to think I thought of him and he's gone.   

 Phill and David will both  be missed like family  :(
