I just came by because I randomly clicked on an image in my "Random From Favorites"
I don't know how I missed this, how I didn't realise it had been so long since I'd seen something from you in my inbox. I'm always running behind on catching up.
I... I have a "karanua" folder in my Favourites and I didn't quite notice that I haven't had anything to add to it in years.
This keeps happening.

I hope that wherever your soul is, it's having a good time.

Rest In Peace.


god I'm terrible at these

Based on the comments here, I think he died on dA's 12th birthday, or earlier than that.

May he rest in peace, even though I just knew about this today.

I can't believe it.  I'd been away so long, I didn't even know.  You'd always been a great individual off of whom to bounce ideas.  I'm hardly expressing any original sentiments, but I mean it when I concur that you'll be missed.

God bless you, sir.
I never knew of you until this very moment.
Your work is beautiful. I pray you will enjoy beauty that makes pale our greatest dreams.
Thank you so much for bringing so much beauty into this world.

Sincerely,

I've passed by this page and this gallery many times in the past few weeks, but you know how life is. A quick browse through the wonderful art, fave and move on.

Never did I realise until now that we had lost such a talented individual, more shame on me.

I hope this gallery and its contents act as a legacy to a brave man with talent I can only hope to emulate.

Clear skies, Dave.

Dave,

Just signed up to say goodbye.

We use to hang out when we were young; but lost touch in the early 90s.

I can't begin to comprehend what you went through in the last few years. Puts any woes I may think I have in perspective...

You've left a legacy on this site - and our works that survive us make us immortal.

CJ. If you're able to read this, I want you to know that you have my most sincerest condolences. No words can paint a greater picture on how great David was as a individual, a father, and a husband. I know losing Danny was hard on you. They were both a big part in your life as much as you were in theirs. But if that other side exists, at least now his father is there by his side.

Losing a loved one is difficult. Losing another is unheard of. But it's important that you stay strong. Never give up on the road ahead of you.

Best of wishes to you.

Renerade [2012-10-15 05:06:42 +0000 UTC]

David. For the short amount of time that I've known you, you have been a kind and generous individual. Extremely blunt and straight-forward, but honest. You've certainly inspired me to pursue my dreams with more motivation than I use to.

I really wish I could've met you and Danny in person. Maybe one day I'll see you on the other side if such a place exists. May you be at peace with your son and father.

Rest easy, Dave.

Oh no.  I am always saddened when DEATH is greater than the artist.  When an artist dies, the whole world is diminished.  Requiescat In Pace.

Farewell good sir. You were a hell of an artist, and will be sorely missed.

Fitting, perhaps, that I leave this Star Trek quote for you, as you set your own course to the final frontier, one last time.

Sulu: "What course, sir?"
Kirk: "Second star to the right...and straight on till morning."
