This is the hardest post I have ever written.
One of my best friends, David passed away on the 16th of April.
For those who knew him and want to know what happened, unfortunately I can't give you an answer. We are still in the dark about what happened to him. All we know is that he was on his laptop on facebook at 8.48am and was found not long after 9am by his brother. He was only 24 years old.
He was at home and all information would indicate that he died quickly and without warning.
We are still waiting on a coroners report to find exact cause of death, but we don't expect to get that for some time.
Dav was a fantastic guy. We went to Europe together in 2007. My favourite memory of him was in Barcelona after he had downed an entire bottle of johnny walker. He was out on the beach and I went out to see him. He had gone through about 3/4 of the bottle when I first caught his eye. I went over there and he was waving around this almost completed bottle, not making any sense at all. I wondered away and sat on the sand with some of the others from our group and about 10 minutes later he came running over. By then he had finished off the bottle and fell down next to me. "I Love you Shari!... as a Friend!"
Half an hour later I was helping my other friend Daniel and one of the other guys drag him off to the toilets to throw up again. From that day on it was our little thing. "I Love you Dav... as a friend" and I always did.
David you one of a few people that I could call a true friend and I will forever remember you and miss you. You are so special to me and I will always cherish each and every memory I shared with you. Rest in Peace.
